Upcomming Event: Bitcoin Melbourne July Meetup: Voting On The Blockchain - A Viable Alternative?
Voting On The Blockchain - A Viable Alternative?
This month we'll be joined by Max Kaye from the Neutral Voting Bloc (NVB) to discuss voting on the blockchain and whether it's a viable option for the Australian democratic system.
What is NVB?
According to their meetup page:
"The Neutral Voting Bloc (NVB) is a new political party that tries something never done before. The NVB challenges the existing status quo with reactive, open, and transparent democracy and an exciting adoption mechanic. The NVB has a (rough) 25 year roadmap to completely integrate this system with the existing infrastructure, all without requiring constitutional reform or any legislation changes at all. We don't need to ask for permission, this can be done right now. The NVB's adoption mechanic means that it only requires 1% of the primary vote to win a senate seat."
This is sure to be a fascinating meetup that will challenge your preconceptions about how blockchain technology can be applied to 'real world' issues.
