HODL.voting is a time-lock-weighted voting system that gives provable long-term bitcoin HODLers a way to express their opinion on proposed protocol upgrades.
To vote, users are requested to lock-up bitcoins for some pre-determined amount of time (using CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY), where each vote is weighted by the
number of bitcoins *
lock duration. This mechanism lets people who're willing to commit to long-term hodling (and thus have a provable vested interest in bitcoin) get more say.
I built this project for the
TLV emBassy 2017 Hackathon (and won the first prize with it!). It is currently running on testnet. Happy to hear your thoughts :-)
