RE: What the Hell Is the Blockchain, Anyway?
Voting via blockchain seems interesting because you can assure your vote isn't manipulated after you cast it, but how would the crypto keys be distributed in the first place? You'd still need some sort of central authority to identify the voters in the first place.
I'm not an anarchist. There will still be a need for governments and banks (though in a much more limited capacity than today).
You would need a central authority to generate and distribute the keys. In the case of voting, the keys would be one-time use so if you showed up at the polling place and found your vote had already been cast, you would simply delete it and request a new key. You would be able to view, scan, read -- verify -- your key, of course.
