Hi,

I'm a noob, so my apologies if I'm blasting the whole board in this reply but I would be grateful to hear more thoughts on this topic-- especially from the experienced developers here.

This concept is fascinating, and from the perspective of global capital flows it may almost be inevitable if a DAO-like structure is developed to harvest capital alongside votes (one might argue, economically, the two are interchangeable).

I'm a venture/HF activist investor in the United States and I filed US Provisional Patent App #62-532155 on uspto.gov. It's an effort to identify soft-money capital flows that drive the bidding for assets that are sold (or, as we call it, "elected") in US elections. I'm also building MinutemanCapital.com in parallel to develop a proof-of-concept for the upcoming Ohio elections.

Why Ohio? For those outside the U.S., Ohio has determined the winner in all but two U.S. Presidential elections since 1896. It is a cross-section of America that is uniquely representative of the voting population. It offers the perfect proof-of-concept stage to create an ICO for a political party-- or more exactly, the soft-money capital that controls the bidding for these assets. Please forgive me if that sounds overly cynical, but I watched a lot of friends die on the front lines in Iraq due to the economics in Washington DC so what can I say-- I hold a bit of a grudge.

If this can be structured properly to guarantee the integrity of the asset class, I'd be willing to underwrite substantial sums from my personal holdings to get this up and running. If you are a developer and have any interest in work-for-hire or this topic in general I'd love to talk further. Oh, and please forgive the awkwardness of my first few website posts on building a "Fat Cat Catapult". The first $2,000 worth of lumber for it just arrived at my house, and I can't wait to launch some "Fat Cats" into Lake Erie.

Cheers!

I would support an ICO that was a Political Action Committee dedicated to supporting & encouraging the use of decentralized FinTech and Cryptocurrencies. 

A PAC that lobbies the people in power to limit any legal action that restricts free and open trade with regard to Cryptocurrencies. 

But, I am a believer in Objectivism.  I would NOT fund/support your political party; which just sounds like another spin of socialism.

you definitely should add:

"- portrait of Marx in every room of every public building" and you're good to go.

LOL LOL  Exactly.

Talking about political party, you need to specify about what country are you talking about.
For sure there are perspectives for blockchain in politics, not only by voting on voting and collecting funds.
Blockchain, cryptocurrency area can help to form self-sufficient elites who will themselves form a fund and will create parties (in different countries) and will possibly come to power some day

digitalcoins, you're one of the most brilliant and talented people of cryptocommunity. Every independent state would want you on it. I am creating one. And just wonder how DAO you've come out with here can help me and my folks who wants to move at the equator, build there floating cities and organize public transit that goes to space? In what way presicely? (learn more: #BitcoID)

I personally know of someone who is trying to organize an ICO to finance a new political party in Europe. I have my doubts that it will become real and successful, but just wanted to let you know that people are already considering this. And someone will do that for sure at some point. As for perhaps supporting it - you really would first like to hear which are their ideas and vision, wouldn't you?

If something interesting is happening in this direction - please share this case now
Also I would say ICO is not so good term for this, I think "party tokenization" would be better.
For sure cryptocurrency will play bigger role as more and more politicians are interested in this area, some will implement this technology into party building process.

Something like this.
I have couple ideas here for the discussion.
It can be political party, croporation and lobbysm exchange at once.
For example some votings, or most of the votings can be done in token.
So it is more like a political corporation.

Yes, party tokenization. Actually here I just want to gather suggestions.
We have written some white paper, but it is quite declarative and seems to not be popular.

So, here are some ideas:

1. Party is tokenized
2. Tokens are used for voting
3. Party is also a political services exchange:
- Political propaganda
- Tools, people, platforms to run a political campaign
- Fund raising for political campaigns, social activism using cryptocurrencies
- Mass street actions
- Lobbyism using smart contracts and cryptocurrencies
- PR/consulting using our tokens
- Media management, interface between crypto and traditional media for politics
- Lobbyism services purchase

So, it looks more like a political corporation.
Why to call it a party?
Because all political professionals here are powered by crypto, are integrated into cryptocurrencies world and (in general) should be biased toward crypto-friendly laws.
How does that sound?
Anyone interested to contribute to:
- White paper writing
- Web site/logo design
- White paper design
- Name selection
for prospective political party tokens?

Can you give his/her contacts? I am curious about that experience.

Maybe people could burn coins to vote on things. The technology exists, but direct democracy isn't always the best thing

1 vote can be 1 token. Very capitalistic.
