Wish I had your knowledge so as to speak to the tech end.

Right now I’m having a hard time just trying to keep the FACTS of this policy straight. The knee jerk reactions are ridiculous.

Note, I’m not for OR against this yet. I’m waiting to see what tech savvy FReepers like you say.

I’m a software architect.

There’s merit to this concept, although I have my reservations as I’d like to see the open source community fully vet this application.

I’ve considered Blockchain being used for voting. That part of it isn’t my concern, it does do exactly what is claimed - you can’t fake the “transaction ledger” after something is recorded into it. The concern is the validation of the user making the vote via face recognition - I’m weary of the use of biometrics in general. If somebody gets a hold of your digital signature and can spoof it into an application or system, I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do about it - you can’t change your signature.

So if something shows up saying you paid for something by face verification and you know you didn’t make the purchase, what recourse do I have? At least with a credit card I can cancel it and get a new one.
