Interoperable Quadratic Voting Tool

[anoanoano]

Hey All, at Tina's invitation I'm describing a very simple, interoperable quadratic voting tool. I know a lot of you have already implemented QV for internal processes, and any systems you've already built might be adaptable to this.

Specifically what I have in mind is a very basic hosted GUI widget that could integrate with mainstream group communication services like slack, mailchimp etc., and would allow:

(1) a ballot creator to textually define a number of issues/options, with a set number of per-user voting credits,
(2) let users allocate their voting credits between the different options as they see fit, and
(3) quadratically tabulate the results and display them to the users when everyone has voted or when the ballot creator closes the vote.

A basic tool of this nature would allow an exponentially larger number of organizations, including non-technical organizations like company boards and local governing authorities, to set priorities and make decisions using quadratic voting. It could become an extremely important vector for reforming important institutions in other ways too!

Hi Matt, our Yellow Hat hackers are working on a QV toolkit allowing users to vote via Twitter and Github. Would love to invite you to collaborate.

We will deploy it next week before the DeFi.WTF event ion Oct 7 in Osaka, to let the community vote for which "WTF Talk" proposal will be included at the event. DeFi.WTF is a social experiment in itself, made possible by a 21Day WTF Collective of volunteers from 3 continents, fundraise using quadratic voting. More info can be found here:
