Endorse 2024 U.S. Candidates with Bitcoin – Presidential & Congressional!koinvote.com

1905 sats \ 160k boost \ 97 comments \ @KoinVote 25 Oct bitcoin

Hello everyone! I just launched this website where you can use Bitcoin to sign and vote in the upcoming U.S. election.

The voting process is very simple:

Submit your Bitcoin address. Choose your candidate. Sign the plaintext generated by the system and submit your signature. Once submitted, your vote is complete – no registration or fees required. Voting Rules: The address balance must not be zero. The system will periodically check the balances of all participating addresses and update the vote count accordingly. If an address submits signatures for multiple candidates, only the latest signature will be counted, and the previous candidate’s vote will be revoked.

All participating addresses, plaintext messages, and signatures will be publicly available for audit.

Enjoy and have fun! 🎉

P.S. I know the website could be better organized, but time is limited for now. Please use Ctrl+F to search for your district!

Many people in this fucked up world still do not realize the true power of every sat. But I respect his willingness to throw away his sats. In the end SN is a "pay to post" platform.

This is a pure example of NOT spending wisely your sats. Somebody will cry harder later.

Wow even dumber than actually voting is fake voting where you burn bitcoin.

What a waste!

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @KoinVote OP 31 Oct

There’s no need to burn or spend Bitcoin in this project. It simply uses the user’s Bitcoin address and signature to verify the endorsement, and the Bitcoin remains 100% in the user’s own address

But the official trump website didn't link to their krypt0 D0nat1ons page. You had to google it. Then you are forced to use "coinbase". Gross.

Likely the same was true for the harris campaign.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @KoinVote OP 27 Oct

Could you please elaborate? I don’t quite understand what you mean

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @4rge 27 Oct

You voting is a consensus mechanism enabling current political affairs. You vote for the lesser of two evils and become complacent in their faults. Fiat currency is printed to balance debts with the International Monetary Fund, which blackmails NATO into invading non IMF countries under threat of global economic collapse.

Voting gives consensus to the agendas of politicians who convence us of impending war in order to fill their pockets.

Oceana was always at war with Eurasia.

22 sats \ 1 reply \ @KoinVote OP 27 Oct

Thank you for your insight. My view is that the issues you mentioned stem from traditional voting systems, not Bitcoin voting. If Bitcoin successfully becomes a form of political power, power groups would need to buy Bitcoin to support themselves. This means more funds would flow into Bitcoin instead of fueling wars, making wars too costly. After all, wars cannot seize Bitcoin, which changes the dynamics of power and reduces the incentives for conflict

May I know who he is?

122 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 25 Oct

Sure, he is Douglass Mackey. He was, of course, convicted by a jury in the Bronx in New York City. I say, of course, because he is appealing this on the basis of the First Amendment and probably would not have been convicted anywhere else.

You don’t actually send any BTC. It’s just signing a plain text that includes the candidate’s name, time, and other details. You still retain 100% ownership of your coins
