GoVoteX Infinity: Testing the Accountability Model
Part Two: The Mechanics, Money, and the Questions Ahead If GoVoteX Infinity is ultimately going to accomplish what its creator envisions, the most important question is no longer whether people want greater government accountability. The question is whether the proposed system can translate that desire into a functioning, secure, and legally viable mechanism. The project’s answer begins with technology. GoVoteX Infinity proposes using a decentralized directed acyclic graph, or DAG, rather than relying exclusively on conventional centralized election infrastructure. Its documentation describes a system in which a user account would correspond to a single voting identity, with cryptographic keys used to establish authenticity and help identify fraudulent or duplicate accounts. The intended result is a voting system designed to be difficult to manipulate while providing a transparent record of activity. Artificial intelligence would also play a supporting role, according to the proj...
