How many of you knew this?...
Every single patent Musk came up with for his Tesla operation...HE OPEN SOURCED THE PATENTS......
OPEN SOURCE...
........In that, HE DOES NOT OWN THEM. They are PUBLIC.
THIS is the guy that just bought Twitter.
You know what? If he says he's gonna open source Twitter, I am leaning towards believing him.
Shouldn't our voting be done on blockchain with open source code so we can keep an eye on what they are doing
This right here ^^ .. USPS filed a patent in late 2018 to do exactly this. Once the normies all become aware of the depth of fraud in our current election system there will be a lot more support for rolling this type of system out.
Problem is most people dont understand blockchain and when they hear the word they just think bitcoin which they also dont understand and because of lack of understanding they think its some sort of scam. They dont trust it. They hear horror stories of exchanges "getting hacked" and peoples money disappearing and think its the fault of the underlying tech vs the other systems and people around it.
Good news is more and more people are coming to understand and therefore trust the tech
The vote should be anonymous, but you should need to prove your identity, and also need to dip your finger in that light purple ink.
My idea is to have the US government issued Social Security Number serve as the anonymous identity. in Blockchain terms the SSN would be the public wallet ID. At the beginning of each election every SSN would receive 1 "coin" aka VOTE. the blockchain app would allow people to select their candidate and it would be immutable and verifiable.
This would serve to maintain anonymity, and ensure only citizens get to vote. Edit: after thinking this over, i see a few issues.. employers know SSNs, and what would stop Dems from grabbing SSN's from dead people? there would need to be another layer of obfuscation added involving SSN, but the blockchain addresses couldnt be the SSN themselves. Edit2: these are minor issues that can be addressed. setup correctly anybody could go back and confirm their vote was counted for the candidate they intended, and see every other vote in anonymous form within the blockchain - which is always publicly accessible. back to the bitcoin example: every time anybody has transferred any bitcoin to another is visible today within the blockchain ledger.. made anonymous because it only shows wallet id's that consist of random letters and numbers. Only the exchanges that convert them to Dollars know who belongs to those wallet ID's. a wise bitcoin user can obfuscate beyond this but i wont detail the process here.
We ideally shouldn't have a social security number. The federal government should regulate trade with other countries and protect our borders, that's pretty much it.
IMO, voting should be paper in person one day to minimize cheating. Florida was a good example. They were accurate and done early.
IF it is digital in any way, FOSS is the way to go. Allows you to keep an eye on the software yet keep it incredibly safe.
In theory, it would work great.
The weak point is in the human interface factors.
Paper. Votes need to be paper.
