Just to clarify how it might look like
First of all we need to confirm we are owner of address having at least 112 in unspents. Let's assume our address is
8QzJ1sGCnvZss6tf9kcWJUzf5CA3iTrUAM
Let's also agree that voting will be made using a message in format:
Where A, B, C will be items on poll. Eg
Masternode cost:
A) 1 8BIT
B) 2 8BIT
C) 3 8BIT
Block value:
A) 1 8BIT
B) 2 8BIT
C) 3 8bit
Masternode reward:
(...)
We go to debug window in our 8BIT wallet or just call API with:
signmessage 8QzJ1sGCnvZss6tf9kcWJUzf5CA3iTrUAM "COST=A VALUE=A REWARD=C"
We get the reply:
IBk30/RbD1Cc8JfgC6h00ujkL017khAHTWdxyxThFAkoea1mLCJO44uiX9B0bJ8saLPUk/kP4tH89SJgxwhepSU=
this is what we call a signature.
This operations does nothing but signing your vote with your private key. Nothing is send, nothing is disclosed, nothing new is saved in your wallet. Only you know you issued this command and you know result of it. Result of this command is nothing but a proof you issued it. Nothing else is revealed. It's even impossible to decode anything from result.
So someone who wanna verify your vote has to be informed both about your vote and that result.
Then, knowing a public key (your 8BIT address), your vote and result of signing one who verify can issue:
verifymessage 8QzJ1sGCnvZss6tf9kcWJUzf5CA3iTrUAM IBk30/RbD1Cc8JfgC6h00ujkL017khAHTWdxyxThFAkoea1mLCJO44uiX9B0bJ8saLPUk/kP4tH89SJgxwhepSU= "COST=A VALUE=A REWARD=C"
what will return:
what will happen if bad guy change 8QzJ1sGCnvZss6tf9kcWJUzf5CA3iTrUAM to 8YHQaRMgvM3uzkGwkWCWTuUnxNoVv9WA9M he owns (without required amount of coins):
verifymessage 8YHQaRMgvM3uzkGwkWCWTuUnxNoVv9WA9M IBk30/RbD1Cc8JfgC6h00ujkL017khAHTWdxyxThFAkoea1mLCJO44uiX9B0bJ8saLPUk/kP4tH89SJgxwhepSU= "COST=A VALUE=A REWARD=C"
the result will be:
same will happen if anything here will be altered (an address, a signature, a vote).
So, okay, we have an unbeatable way to verify that given voice is valid. The only problem is: how to tell others about voice and signature without disclosing its owner?
There are many ways to achieve that. I can setup a simple website gathering anonymous inputs with those data (you can use tor/vpn/proxy whatever) or dedicated e-mail address. Finally we can start 4chan thread. Since votes are digitally signed and we agree used address wil not transfer any amount during voting period way of transmission is really unrestricted anyhow.
We have to determine solution till Saturday.
