This thread may be of interest.  I'd be curios to know more about the verification methods explored by followmyvote.

thanks CLains! just did!!

Cool video, way too fast and aggressive though (super loud, fast music). Theres a lot going on where you cant make out whats happening which makes it look confusing.

the original version was around 6 minutes long, with no music, just dictation of what's actually happening as the voter navigates the interface. we were thinking it was too long and that most people wouldn't want to sit through it. but, would you guys like us to post that version to our youtube channel as well?

Neat, thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of the legwork is done! I imagine it would be pretty easy to adapt this voting system to other countries and the private sector (barring legal implications)

yes, exactly! we should be able to adapt our system to work for any use case fairly easily.

I promised the community that we would send out a recap of my recent visit to Norway to introduce our voting solution to the Pirate Party of Norway. To this end, we've just published a story on the Follow My Vote website that covers the event! So, be sure to check out the link below:

https://followmyvote.com/follow-my-vote-and-the-pirate-party-make-plans-for-the-future-of-voting/

We've also published another story on the BitShares Blog to maximize coverage: http://bitshares.org/blog/. As an fyi, we will be promoting these blog posts, as well as the youtube video throughout the web over this week and next and will keep the community updated on how many people we reach/views we get. We'd love your help in spreading the word as well.

We'd also like to connect with someone at CoinDesk and/or CoinTelegraph to see if they'd be interested in running a story on this, as well. Does anyone have any contacts that could help us make it happen?

We were recently invited to Oslo, Norway to speak about our voting solution at a national summit.

This seems an exciting time for bts in Norway. And possible private sector' projects. A regular update would be helpful.

We're super excited about this! Since January I've been working with my brother Spectral to increase interest in the beyond bitcoin space here in Norway. This is the first result of our efforts that has been made public. We have also made other arrangements for this event, and we hope in time to be one of the key players here in Norway working for Bitcoin and 2.0 technologies. Doing meetups and fostering relationships does take time, but for the long haul it is an essential component to progress.

When is this event? I'd be interested in attending..

it will be held on March 21-22. PM me and I'll provide you with more details.

Any news? 

Yes, we had great fun haha

Adam will have a summary of the event ready soon.

Yes! Thanks CLains. We had great success in Norway!! I will be preparing a thorough update to share with the community this week and will be working with my team to plan a marketing campaign to promote the major highlights from my visit as much as possible in the days ahead.

I don't agree with the strategy of approaching the public sector. I think the public sector will be hostile to the Bitshares community at first. I would like to see you approach the private sector because the private sector knows how to use email at least in the United States.

The numbers aren't great but it's a start. We can compare February to March to see if marketing is effective.

thank you for your comments. I agree that the private sector will be a lot easier to tackle. we are shifting the majority of our focus there in the near term and will keep the community posted on any noteworthy strides. to this end, we are currently exploring our options to host elections for political primaries, as it is totally up to the political parties to decide which voting systems are used in their elections and the systems used don't have to abide by any of the laws and regulations that governments backed elections, which is exciting!

with respect to the numbers, we hope to see an increase in march. but you're right, we are just getting started.
