Topic: HODL.voting – time-locked voting for provable bitcoin hodlers (Read 292 times)
Seems like a pretty well designed system. It might be a good idea to rename your op though as people might mistake it for HODL coin instead of bitcoin. I am sure there are large number of btc hodlers, not sure if they would be willing to try this though.
HODL.voting is a time-lock-weighted voting system that gives provable long-term bitcoin HODLers a way to express their opinion on proposed protocol upgrades.
To vote, users are requested to lock-up bitcoins for some pre-determined amount of time (using CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY), where each vote is weighted by the number of bitcoins * lock duration. This mechanism lets people who're willing to commit to long-term hodling (and thus have a provable vested interest in bitcoin) get more say.
I built this project for the TLV emBassy 2017 Hackathon (and won the first prize with it!). It is currently running on testnet. Happy to hear your thoughts :-)
