Alex Pasfield : a fourteen-year-old developer Builds Uncensorable Voting Platform

A Verifiable Voting Record of Blockchain Users Weighted by Their Transaction Amounts called Bitcoin Voice:

A fourteen-year-old developer who has been working on cryptocurrency projects, has been coding since the age of nine.

Bitcoin Voice is an application that shows public messages tethered to blockchain transactions that are sourced from live data. The website states that it “may be utilized as a verifiable voting record of blockchain users weighted by their transaction amounts.”

There is also the inherent problem that even without the type of censorship that occurred with /r/bitcoin, these community discussion platforms such as Reddit are vulnerable to Sybil attacks and actors who don’t necessarily have skin in the game. i.e. non coin-holders. So, we realised the only way to achieve a global, uncensorable, verifiable voting system that reflected stake was to put it on the blockchain.
