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?

Yes, please.  It will hit a different audience.

We decided to wait until St. Patricks Day, when many Americans will be online and communicating with friends and family via social media, to release our new Follow My Vote (Powered By BitShares) Verifiable Voting Voting demo video! Please check out the video, share with your friends and family via social media, and let us know what you think!

https://youtu.be/hJstfzHBU38

i wanted to give an update with respect to our performance in marketing this video on Facebook. We targeted US, India, and Norway (ahead of our recent visit). We reached 44K+ people in those three countries and received 4.5K+ views.

NOTE: these are Facebook video stats viewable via the video post our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FollowMyVote), meaning if you were to view the video on YouTube, you won't see these stats reflected there.

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

thanks for the plug matt608! let's keep in mind, this is the proof of concept system we developed on a very limited budget. as such, we took the "gating" approach this guy eludes to here:  http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/2zdqsu/voting_dapps_would_require_a_verified_identity/cphzmna

Nice! Sometimes it is easy to forget that BitShares is so much more than just a decentralized exchange.

i'm happy to serve as a reminder!!  ;)

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.

Amazing, quick question. Who has the private key to actually see the phone ID etc?

great question! the private key is derived from the list of words/passphrase shown toward the bottom of the screen after the user submits their identity info.

Yes, it's easy to get lost in details around here. Time to think bigger again  8)

Anyways very refreshing style, I like it.
