RE: How Vote Incentivization Monopolizes Delegated Proof of Stake

in #dpos4 years ago (edited)

Sadly, just hashing certainly won't work. In my other comment I think this is a good summary of the real catch-22:

  1. I must be able to prove or show to myself that my vote was cast, was valid, and was counted correctly. Others should not be able to validate/discover this.
  2. I cannot be able to prove or show to others (1).
Sort:  

I must be missing something. I do not grasp why the SP cannot be assigned a hash that allows a) public verification that it has been used to vote - but not how it voted, b) prevents it being used to vote again for that election, and c) can either be used to change one's vote later, permitting 'liquid democracy' and folks to change their mind after discovering unsavory facts post-election, or terminate upon conclusion of the plebiscite.

A hash is fairly easy to construct that allows your item 1. Why is 2. even desirable?
