VoteCoin (VOT) Website: https://votecoin.siteWhite Paper: https://votecoin.site/VoteCoin-Whitepaper.pdfGitHub: https://github.com/Tomas-M/VoteCoinVoteCoin MissionVoteCoin is a decentralized anonymous platform for elections and other voting purposes, based on Zerocoin protocol.
It can simplify public polls, surveys and crowd funding campaigns and create their process more flexible and easily trackable.
This new digital currency can strengthen democracy and help people to reach their goals.
VoteCoin Use CasesStaked Polls - Weighted voting by transferring value, either public or anonymous
Decision Funding - Traceable coins can be limited and distributed by the organizer of the poll/election to obtain fair voice of the voters.
Public Elections - Shielded transactions hide the sender, recipient, and value on the blockchain while keeping the count decentralized and verifiable by any participant.
Crowd Funding - Raising contributions for a project or venture, targeted to particular features
Sports Betting - Decentralized platform that changes the way the world bets on sports
Staked PollsBy Using VoteCoin GUI Wallet you can create secure voting polls that deliver unprecedented trust through the integrity of blockchain technology. A vote cast to the blockchain is unforgeable and the voting results recorded on it are indisputable. Results can never be altered, and identities of participants are protected.
Start by clicking VOTE button in GUI Wallet, then "+Add poll or campaign". Setup your poll by filling a title and options. Add a logo and chose your poll behaviour.

VoteCoin technical specifications
Name: VoteCoin
Ticker: VOT
Total supply: 220.000.000 VOT
Block reward: 125 VOT
Block size: 2MB
Block time: 2,5 minutes
Proof Type: POW (proof of work)
Hashing algorithm: equihash
Why Equihash?We are big fans of decentralisation and equihash is memory-oriented Proof-of-Work algorithm (your mining power is mostly determined by size of your RAM).
So Equihash is resistant to ASIC mining.
We have ZCash. Why should we choose VoteCoin?Yes, VoteCoin source code is based on the peer-reviewed ZCash sources and follows the same trusted setup provided by the Zcash team.
Offers a high standard of privacy and preserves the confidentiality of transactions through sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme.
Furthermore, VoteCoin provides three main advantages:- No Founders Reward: Zcash implements Founders Reward, where 20% of coins are transferred to the Zcash developers and investors during the first years.
We have removed this “feature”, so VoteCoin has no founders reward. - No Slow start period: Zcash implements Slow start period, where mining produces fractional reward to miners on start, and the reward slowly increases afterwards.
We have removed this from VoteCoin, so miners get their full reward from the very beginning. - Multi-platform wallet: Zcash is officially supported only as a Linux text-mode client. We provide an easy to use Graphical Wallet Application for all major operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and MAC OS.
There is still a lot of work ahead of us. We watch closely the latest developments in elliptic-curve cryptography and we are eager to implement new proving scheme algorighms to VoteCoin, for example the elliptic curve called
Jubjub (to be included in ZCash too) which is efficient to perform operations on inside of zk-SNARK circuits. Rough estimate indicates 80% reduction of proving time, and a 98% reduction in memory usage, which is simply awesome.
