Online Voting Can Be Kept Secure With Blockchains.

[TexanManWithPlans]

I've been thinking about how online voting might be made secure and how we might prevent hackers from creating or deleting votes.

The answer is simple: Do what Bitcoin does by utilizing blockchain ledgers.

A Bitcoin blockchain is a public ledger that records bitcoin transactions. It is implemented as a chain of blocks, each block containing a hash of the previous block up to the original block of the chain. A network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software maintains the blockchain.

Every bitcoin owner has a copy of every transaction, making it impossible to counterfeit Bitcoin.

Why can't this same technique be used to record online votes?

BLOCKCHAINS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO HACKING.

TRY TO KEEP UP WITH 2020, WILL YA?

THIS IS FROM TWO YEARS AGO:



Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked

More and more security holes are appearing in cryptocurrency and smart contract platforms, and some are fundamental to the way they were built.

Computers are rat bastards. You put it on the net, and it's for everyone to see. Me.

Nothing is truly secure if you put it on the internet. It is also forever and it can and will come back to bite you in the ass.
