Research report about polling-station-app HOT 7 CLOSED

I can't think of a proper way where proxy-voting would work with Tribler's multichain. The only way is to make all voters set up a node, which is really not practical. See attached image.

Furthermore, the blocks of handing out the tokens are only in one place. (this might be an issue for other implementations too?)

Solution:

• For every voter a node is hosted which holds the personal blockchain of the voter (genesis block states that everyone gets 1 token)
• Node is always online
• Voters can proxy-vote by communicating with the nodes
• Voting booth checks chain of voter and government and adds new transaction to spend tokens

https://github.com/chain/chain Seems to be promising, but not fully implemented. Also maybe to heavy for this job.
https://github.com/openchain/openchain Modifyable, good documentation and suitable for offline wallet storage. Possible problem: centralized.

https://monax.io/ Toolkit for creating blockchain supporting smart contracts. Looks quite commercial though

https://github.com/MultiChain There is need for mining, government can host a mining node.

Advantages:

• Scaleable (million transactions per second)
• Rich permissioning
• Lots of documentation

Disadvantage

• Not production ready, should be used to build POC or prototype
• Is big, so not quite clear where is what
