[Developing] Altcoin Voting Platform

[Coinbuddy]

Hi
I am thinking of making an altcoin voting site, like first users have verify their account by connecting social media accounts (or any other type for confirmation).Then they can vote for the altcoin, but i want Altcoin Exchange site to trust our platform without this it will be unsuccessful.

I thought that One vote per IP per Giveaway+No proxies+No VPNs is best option

How do you think?

Actually a good idea. The main challenge for such a site will be to prevent voting fraud. Either you have good anti-fraud detection features or you need to add registration for instance, what will discourage people to vote.

Is it just about fraud voting? i

You have concluded the project by mention trust and exchangers but i know for certain that crypto exchange platform like to be independent and dont expect corporations from all of them especially those that charge per vote.

I will not allow paid votes! It should be very transparent platform, so we can convince the crypto exchange sites.
In this way maybe: 1st sms verification, then they vote for the coin, select the exchange and its votes accepted.

I refused to "verify" to get my free NEUcoins and I surely am not going to "verify" to vote on some altcoins.. Maybe you can think of something better.

I don't have 3 social accounts..


What exactly is the point of this voting site? I see that you say exchanges need to trust it and I suspect that means that you want the exchanges to add coins based off of the votes on this site, but I'm not sure.

How about One vote per IP per altcoin and No proxies and VPN allowed?

In the market people vote with their wallets, which is arguably the better measure. I think there could be an Altcoin launch platform ("mints") where the mint provides some infrastructure for the project, e.g. contacts to exchanges, development expertise, legal expertise, etc. In turn a mint requires some significant interest behind a project (new ideas, new code, ...). In general connecting social accounts is probably a good idea (see also keybase.io). It might make sense to use some algorithms to determine truthfulness of the account (github with lots of commits and starred repos is close to impossible to fake). A mint could also be a place for discussion, which has some different mechanics than Bitcointalk. BTT is 90's style bulletin board and never build for this purpose.

Altough a voting site is a great idear, i would never connect any social accounts nor verify my cellphone number to cast a vote...

Other suggestions on verifying:
- emailaccount (altough i would never give that out to cast a vote either)
- 1 vote/ip (can be circumvented)
- signed message from an address holding coins (can be circumvented)

Circumvented  So which way will be feasible for you guys?

But i have found that one vote per IP per altcoin, no proxies and no VPNs is best option.It is no hassles for voter.They don't even need to register on the website.

SMS verification is the fairest. It is essentially one vote per mobile phone number. One vote per IP is the simplest but can be easily gamed in all sorts of ways including by using a dial up modem connection. Social media accounts is by far the worst. Why are you making providing all your personal information to the NSA a condition of voting on altcoins?  Seriously.

I voted for SMS verification.

Thank you for your opinion.
Hmm! It is much transparent way than all of them, maybe we can also use Authy as well, but let's see how much votes we get on it.

You install app on your phone, code is sent and then then we put it on website and it get verified

Also Google Authenticator can be helpful

I will not allow paid votes! It should be very transparent platform, so we can convince the crypto exchange sites.

It should have a signed message as well. But such voting may not be applicable to every audience as it will take some time for everyone to learn what cryptocurrency is for and its features. Human nature is hard nosed to change so you got to explain it to everyone very patiently. How about making use of colored coins.

Hmm. not everyone have deep knowledge about Crypto Currency.I think SMS is more transparent and much feasible

I don’t like to give contact detail of my mobile. That is not a safe thing and I don’t want to share this information.

I think the best way is really IP-related. That seems to be legit and you will also get more voters then with the other options.
