Thinking in a voting system on Nostr
* Each voter sends a Gift Wrap (GW) event addressed to the Electoral Center's (EC) pubkey. The event internally contains the signed vote information and the sender's pubkey.
* The EC maintains a list of pubkeys authorized to vote.
* For each GW event received, the EC validates that the pubkey is in the registry. If the vote is signed correctly, the vote is counted, and the identity is discarded.
I need to think a little more about audits.
EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING must be open source, especially in this area.
