BITCOIN FOR THE W!!!!

💯🎯🙌🫡 History is being written. #Bitcoin

Wow, this is really great. I want my country to reach that point.

All thanks to your portfolio company Stakwork

Bitcoin fixes my vote and my money wow I should move to Bitcoin lake…

'i came for democracy, but i stayed for bitcoin' - love this. I remember Estonia established a blockchain based election but it was still owned by the election committee. And there's been a lot of conversations blockchain based voting globally but non with bitcoin. This is a very interesting innovation.

YES. THIS IS THE WAY TO SAVE HUMANITY.

Pourquoi vous avez l'exemple de Bukele sur le lien ! ?

Free technology is giving birth to free ideas and institutions

LFG Guatemala 🤠

Is this real

I appreciate the development. But the vote must be pen and paper only. Each and every voter, including those non tech people, must physically SEE their vote before it goes into the box. And the box must be in sight of the public from the moment the first vote is put into it until the whole LOCAL, public count process. Any technology must respect these premises. If I need a tech guy to explain me how my vote goes on chain, there is a fundamental vulnerability.

And who makes sure, that the vote tallies in the Bitcoin timechain are right and not tampered right before this step?

As expected, they used OpenTimestamps by @Peter Todd

feeling excited to be taking my children to the first country that embraced #bitcoin as legal tender. I've never been driven by the trappings of money but I do want to be inspired! I'm so glad my children will benefit from having a mum like me who may not understand everything going on technically BUT I trach my kids how they can HONESTLY BEAT the system daily ! No Fear - Just Freedom 🫡

Good start, if well doen it prevent's a central authority to mingle with the results... But the counting and timeatamping has to be done right otherwise it's forever in the Blockchain but wrong, so what's known as "the oracle problem"

Hey, U.S., why can't we do THIS? View quoted note →

I believe that it will not be Guatemala, but Honduras that will be the next Central American country to approach Bitcoin.

A bit more context from someone who was involved on this. While it doesnt cryptographically eliminate the possibility of tampering from the moment a vote is cast, it greatly reduces the window of possible tampering to a few short moments between when the witnesses sign the physical tally sheet and when its scanned and the jpg is made available on the server. The goal of this project was to build on the existing paper ballot + physical witness system in Guatemala and what opentimestamps made possible, by actually running a citizens' audit, in a relatively low cost and reproducable way using Stakwork. Stakwork was a good fit for this as it allowed us to break up each tally sheet into microtasks in a blind AI-human consensus using open source models and anon Stakworkers, most of which signed up during the audit on fiscaldigital.net Heres a presentation from Adopting Bitcoin conf late last year explaining the process in more detail:
