I’m stoked to see you guys working on such a well targeted project.. this is exactly what we need!
I am curious how the ‘verifier’ is selected. The best solution I could think of for verifier’s would be for any verified user to be able to act as one, and then each verifier only receives segments of the data; the last 4 of the drivers license, and every 3rd letter of the name for example, and certain sections of the photo go to each verifier, so that no verifier ever receives a complete image of a person, or any other complete or useful information.
I would think 8 verifier’s per submission on an active system would make sense; even if the verification needs to wait overnight for 8 to be available.
It would be important that verifier selection did not occur at the time of the vote, as that could result in an organization getting all their users online to act as verifiers, and then they could authenticate fraudulent accounts.
I think doing the verification in a manner similar to RAID would be the cleanest solution, assuming you have the user base. (e.g. send redundant data to additional users both to improve security, and speed/reliability.)
Fascinated to learn more about your project!

Consider this type of voter registartion fraud: Alice steals Bob’s identity and registers Bob to vote with the Registrar. Later, Bob tries to register to vote but is denied because it appears he has already registered. How do you invalidate Bob’s fraudulent Vote Key and issue him a new one?

Also, how can voters be sure that key generation is truly random, and no rouge agent can predict or “easily” guess the keys that the Registrar or Voting Booth are using to sign messages?

Jay, Yes there are blockchain fees to add new transactions to the BitShares blockchain. You can view the fee schedule here: https://cryptofresh.com/fees

Is there a charge to vote via the Bitshares blockchain? If so, what would the charge be?
