The "whitepaper" button should send you here: https://votecoin.site/VoteCoin-Whitepaper.pdf

It was  an impressive coin，A low-key, steady, practical, worthy of long-term pursuit

I clicked whitepaper at VoteCoin site and i didn't see anything, the site is still incomplete now. What does existence mean of this coin?

You need 200 BTC to achieve the development of wallets as your milestones? Seriously?

God, why does every project looks empty nowadays? In the past at least people tried to make something interesting.

New and very interesting product - I think perspective - it's good to buy a coin and look like that in a month, ICO becomes very interesting because of the long time, but the presentation you make will be more interesting if you do a little better.

A different project. It is not interested but it is done to determine the ico value. Maybe they do not need the money. Article publication on the team. Why 2 months ico time?

I've just edited original post - added GitHub link.

Vote cast extension to the political environment is one of our goals. We'll see if this is possible.

VOT tokens are currently sold in BTC only. However, you can use https://shapeshift.io to convert your ZEC or ETH to BTC and use them to buy VOT.

Will this vote cast also be extended to the political environment? Based on Zcash and will the tokens be sold in Zcash or ETH?

VoteCoin Mission
VoteCoin is a decentralized anonymous platform for elections and other voting purposes, based on Zerocoin protocol.
It can simplify public polls, surveys and crowd funding campaigns and create their process more flexible and easily trackable.
This new digital currency can strengthen democracy and help people to reach their goals.

VoteCoin Use Cases
Staked Polls - Weighted voting by transferring value, either public or anonymous
Decision Funding - Traceable coins can be limited and distributed by the organizer of the poll/election to obtain fair voice of the voters.
Public Elections - Shielded transactions hide the sender, recipient, and value on the blockchain while keeping the count decentralized and verifiable by any participant.
Crowd Funding - Raising contributions for a project or venture, targeted to particular features
Sports Betting - Decentralized platform that changes the way the world bets on sports




Staked Polls
By Using VoteCoin GUI Wallet you can create secure voting polls that deliver unprecedented trust through the integrity of blockchain technology. A vote cast to the blockchain is unforgeable and the voting results recorded on it are indisputable. Results can never be altered, and identities of participants are protected.

Name: VoteCoin
Ticker: VOT
Total supply: 220.000.000 VOT
Block reward: 125 VOT
Block size: 2MB
Block time: 2,5 minutes
Proof Type: POW (proof of work)
Hashing algorithm: equihash


Why Equihash?
We are big fans of decentralisation and equihash is memory-oriented Proof-of-Work algorithm (your mining power is mostly determined by size of your RAM).
So Equihash is resistant to ASIC mining.

We have ZCash. Why should we choose VoteCoin?
Yes, VoteCoin source code is based on the peer-reviewed ZCash sources and follows the same trusted setup provided by the Zcash team.
Offers a high standard of privacy and preserves the confidentiality of transactions through sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme.

Furthermore, VoteCoin provides three main advantages:

• No Founders Reward: Zcash implements Founders Reward, where 20% of coins are transferred to the Zcash developers and investors during the first years.
  We have removed this “feature”, so VoteCoin has no founders reward.
• No Slow start period: Zcash implements Slow start period, where mining produces fractional reward to miners on start, and the reward slowly increases afterwards.
  We have removed this from VoteCoin, so miners get their full reward from the very beginning.
• Multi-platform wallet: Zcash is officially supported only as a Linux text-mode client.  We provide an easy to use Graphical Wallet Application for all major operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and MAC OS.

There is still a lot of work ahead of us, to name a few:

• Make Tom to modify Slax to create VoteCoin OS - a bootable linux distribution that will allow you to bring VoteCoin on the USB drive wherever you go
  
• We watch closely the latest developments in elliptic-curve cryptography and we are eager to implement new proving scheme algorighms to VoteCoin, for example the elliptic curve called Jubjub (to be included in ZCash too) which is efficient to perform operations on inside of zk-SNARK circuits. Rough estimate indicates 80% reduction of proving time, and a 98% reduction in memory usage, which is simply awesome.
