it's cool, and i agree it's somewhat censorship resistant > Let's say everyone who participates in polling broadcasts it along the > bitcoin network (a separate network would probably be better, so as to not > interfere with normal bitcoin, but I digress), > right, anyone can then publish a json file with polling aggregates at a certain block height and anyone can quickly check to see if they are lying or missing data > Similar structures could be added to any script configuration to allow > signing of polls without any significant exposure. > rubin's suggestion around tapscript anon voting could help with anonymity .... all of this is cool ... but it doesn't address the "what about people who don't know there's a vote going on" or other the other social issues with "weighted polling" in general, like how nonexperts can "have a say" when they simply don't understand the relevant issues. i personally feel like i'm "only a very little bit up on the issues" and i have more tech knowledge than most people i know also, it will just be a poll of "people who pay attention to the dev list and maybe some irc rooms" might be worth experimenting with... but unless there's a great ux around the tooling my guess is that it won't garner a lot of meaningful data: open source, simple cli, gitian build, installs easily on all platforms, works well with bitcoind rpc, works with ledger, can import a seed, etc.
