All it will take is for one 'whale' or semi-whale to skew any option to his/her favour. So you can easily end up with a situation where there is a say 50 to 1 vote yet the 1 person who is against the others have more funds than the 50 put together meaning that the topic will reflect in his/her favour which will actually be a skewed picture of reality.
That's true, but if the issue is important then another semi-whale should join the party, or a huge mass of people will try to oppose with their small balances. That would be interesting to watch.
Though any voter can easily split one's balance and pretend to be a crowd of voters, that's why the balance is the only reliable measure, not the amount of bitcoin signatures.
That is unless you believe in the saying 'money talks and BS walks'
Money have something to say, I'd like to hear that (though probably we hear it all the time from the mass media, but not in such a transparent and accurate manner).
A suggestion: How about including percentages on each side. Much easier to spot how things are standing when viewing percentages. Keep the btc balances but add percentages behind it.
Thanks for you suggestion! Do you suggest to display: "9.12659522 Ƀ Believe | 0.0001 Ƀ Doubt" as "9.12659522 Ƀ (0.998904313%) Believe | 0.0001 Ƀ (0.001095687%) Doubt" ?
interesting, but you should add faq page because when i see your site in first time im confused about the amount of bitcoin.
Thanks for your feedback, I totally agree with you. Someone (preferably a native speaker) should create description of how Bitcoinocracy works and how to make Bitcoin signatures. Long ago I made a
brief explanation of how to sign a message with popular bitcoin clients (Bitcoin-QT, Multi-Bit, Electrum, Blockchain.info) for other service, probably we need something similar for Bitcoinocracy.
and how if the people who sign the statement change their wallet balance? i mean the amount is decrease too?
Yes, it is supposed to change as the balance changes and it is easy to implement, just didn't do it yet.
There are a lot of things to be done. Friendly URLs, social sharing buttons, bitcoin balance updater task, create content, etc.
The current state of the project is just proof of concept. Feel free to join the project and contribute in any form
