@Zerglingman@captain_arepa It's not only an issue of networking it's also an issue of client/server hardware/software. In the current world context, digital/internet voting is completely moronic to do. You basically have to have 100% of all hardware to be trust able, which isn't possible, same for software. It's easier to have the current model, to have people move to vote at central point as the attack surface is a billion times smaller, but still the hardware/software for such voting system must be auditable publicly, which isn't the case either. So paper is still more trust able than computers but again the other issue is then human trust ability which is also a point of failure when you have a majority of the population demoralized/alienated.
@captain_arepa@Zerglingman >The entry points could still be compromised That's what I'm trying to explain but people don't seem to understand it. And outside of that it needs to be anonymous, which isn't possible with current TCP/IP networking model. GNUnet solves that, but again, hardware backdoor issue.
@Zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.club The entry points could still be compromised. While the whole blockchain can be "reliable" in the sense of "yeah, unique and undeletable transactions and wotnot", the hardware and software where the input is done can (and will) be tampered with, even if they're publicly audited (because, again, politics).
@mangeurdenuage@captain_arepa >You basically have to have 100% of all hardware to be trust able, which isn't possible, same for software. The whole point of bitcoin is that you only need the majority (however much it is), to be legit, isn't it? And monero uses the same fundamental principles. And I think that's not an unreasonable ask.
@captain_arepa@mangeurdenuage 1/3 of the way through and other than setting/intro he's basically said "it must all be open-source and auditable or you've failed right there, and probably that will never happen, therefore don't even try". ... I think this guy is actually just incapable of making coherent arguments. I honestly have more respect for Ben Shapiro. Tom Scott should stick to comedy and keep his kike dick sucking behind the scenes.
@Zerglingman@captain_arepa It's retarded but correct, the knowledge of most computer users is abysmal, there aren't a lot of competent techs compared to the amounts of users. And even less if you sort by ethical techs.
@Zerglingman@captain_arepa >Go away, troll. If I was trolling I ask how many people would you need to corrupt a light bulb/voting machine but I'm not doing that.
@xue@Zerglingman@captain_arepa@mangeurdenuage No, no. The driving wheel and pedals and whatnot are an interface designed to allow you to operate the car's components even if you do not know how they exactly operate (GUI). Whereas an automatic gearbox is an interface designed to change the gears on your behalf even if you know how it's changing them (AI). Not the same thing.
Because everyone drives their car by manually moving their cylinders, that's how we can distribute goods efficiently, by only having elites be capable of moving things with cars and pulling content from Wikipedia.
