pretty cool that the election has spurred my /all-in groupchat to talk more about blockchain — first w/ @polymarket and now w/ voting: "can someone steelman why voting should not be done via blockchain?" the answers are switching costs, implementation, security, etc. someone said privacy to which zk was the reply.

Verifiable credentials and DID technology is just now being looked at for mDL (mobile drivers license) It’s inevitable but I don’t see blockchain voting for a long time

doesn't answer the question but pretty much I keep circling back to "People in power don't like changes to how to get there" It's my default answer to all sorts of questions - Why not making voting more representative? - Why not vote for ideas instead of people? - Why not have more transparent [voting|spending|lobbying] - Why not have doers/builders as politicians instead of talkers? - Why disqualify purple cats in gentleman tophats?

Public Key private key distribution to each individual is the hard last mile imo If not every citizen has a private key that truely is private and secure the voting will be shit

We’ll likely get there eventually but the law is very slow —especially in comparison to tech.

TBH I feel it will be a long time before we can use blockchain to vote in municipal/state elections. Democratic voting needs to be auditable, private, and non-coercible (can’t pay for votes). This means we need zk tech. I think it’s going to be a long time before the average person trusts zk tech. The average person might not see crypto as “better” either, compared to alternatives. Not unless there were some big events which showed our current voting system is truly broken. …I may have just convinced myself it could happen quickly. But in absence of a voting scandal, I think we will need to see zk tech being used in other contexts before it gets trusted enough to use for voting.

imo none of these are the main argument. it's identity verification that can't be manipulated
