Title: p2p government
Post by: bitcryptonit on May 28, 2013, 01:48:18 PM
I would like to ask you what do you think about p2p government. It would work more or less like this:
- public key is visible to all and what vote it represents
- every person can only have one public key at all time consisting of its private id and passphrase
- everyone have right to post new law and all registered people can vote for it, when it has enough positive votes the law is automatically enabled

When such a system would be created, then few people would have to register a party in given country and would list all members of the system as members of given party, which would mean it could have automatically very high support because basically everybody in that country would be a potential member and would vote for party he belongs to.
A program of such party would be created dynamically.
The biggest problem would be to identify unique persons but im not asking about this but what do you think in general about such system before we try to solve specific problems which will appear.

It's a great idea, but the thought of the existing government structure willingly handing over its authority is far-fetched.  This may be a useful idea once the so-called "great reset" finally occurs (whenever that is.)

In about a week you will be able to test something very similar to that. See my sig.

I checked out your site, is your idea that people will put in say 100 people put in 1 BTC each, then whichever project receives 51 votes will receive all 100 BTC or is it something else?

If you have 100 people and someone comes up with a proposal that requires 100 BTC and people put in 1 BTC each then 51 votes will only result in 51 BTC and the proposal will fail.

If you have 100 people and the proposal is for 50 BTC at 1 BTC per vote and you get 51 votes, then the proposal passes and those 51 people are now part of a new group that is in charge of moving the proposal forward.

I wish this dream could come true.
