    Did they use blockchain to count the votes or is this guy just saying the word for no discernable reason?

    I know there is a use case for blockchain in voting, but as far as I'm aware it isn't used in the states lol

    Edit: some people were talking about using it in the future lol, but it wasn't deployed in this election.

    Whoever the fuck is in this tweet is fucking brain dead.

      Rivaling the SDSU college dems, "Brazilian spec ops are boots on the ground in Philly" for peak cope.

      There is no use case for blockchain.

        It's a secure way to transfer data, that's it.

        It's really good at that one thing. Not a currency, nothing else.

        But you can transfer data with a very tight and personalized encryption while guaranteeing it is being added to the data pool, which is useful in voting.

          We have secure ways. Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

            Well, it could theoretically be used to allow voting via an at home computer or cellphone without anyone being able to wine about security concerns, not that it'd stop them.

            Idk if there's anything else like that yet.

              We don't need to do that, you're searching for a problem.
