Pre-Interview with Chief Communications Office of Ethereum.org - Stephan Tual

**Stephen’s advice- keep format under ten mins. Goal of video is to give a teaser and spark interest. Use flourish with language used. Aaron’s advice- comfort voters, don’t alienate non-technical people. voter first.

Stephan Tual: OK welcome back to project highlights. Today im with BitVote. Do you want to introduce yourself a little bit.

Aaron Bale: Hello, Im Aaron Bale, the FOUNDER of BitVote. Im a NeuroScience Student turned Disability Advocate from Louisville Kentucky. I have a special interest NeuroProsthetics & Social Engineering.

Leah Chase: My name is Leah Chase. I am a nursing school graduate, currently preparing for my licensure exam. I’m also a mom, I have a rambunctious five year old boy. Right now I work as a home health aide and in my spare time I’m publicist for the bitvote project. But mostly I’m just a woman concerned about what kind of world my son will have to live in if we don’t make some real changes

Jasper den Ouden: Huhu, my nahme ish Jasper den Ou’den, I am from deh Nedderlands cute smile I am a something something coder something programmer something big words here. I have special interests in somethine something big words something and honey bees.

Vlad Zamfir cheeky grin Hey. Vlad Zimfir. Romanian, from canada, moving to london. Something something Reputation Systems and something something big words cheeky grin

Stephan Tual: ok great. tell us what is your project? charming smile

Aaron Bale: We have prepared a technical summary but first leah will show a simple demonstration because bitvote is designed for everyone, not just the tech-savvy.

Leah Chase: Demo Concept Explanation Rough Draft: The idea for bitvote came out of the growing frustration among regular citizens that their true will is not being heard or taken into consideration by corrupt political forces. Awareness has been increasing among normal people all over the world that the systems in place do not accurately represent them. So, we see people taking to the streets to protest, writing petitions, sharing information on social media, voting for new candidates who they think will better represent them, but those tactics have been shown repeatedly to not work when you’re up against resistance from larger powers such as corporate lobbies and so forth.

Leah Chase: So, this is where bitvote comes in. Bitvote allows you to share what really matters to you in the world today. I’m gonna go ahead and do a run through of our demo (demo? Aa yes, of "proof-of-concept PoC demo) so you can see exactly how Bitvote works. So I go to the Bitvote website and sign in, and on my homescreen I see four clocks. ("I use an iPad but bitvote is portable so you can use your favorite android app, Firefox plugin or whatever.)

Leah Chase: The first clock is the current time, the second clock is the time I registered on the site, and the third clock is my spent vote time. The fourth clock is available vote time which increasing indefinitely for the rest of your life from the moment you register. You can’t ("earn") buy or trade bitvotes, they just increase as your time on earth increases.

Leah Chase: Okay, I’m going to do a voting demonstration. You can see that I’ve just registered, so I don’t have any spent vote time yet. So, I’m going to type in here in this link box, a link to something that’s important to me. I’m going to choose any URL or even create my own, that I want to contribute votes to in order to add that issue to the vote chain. So, one thing that has been a concerning issue for me (personally?) over the last couple of years is the chemical company Monsanto’s monopolization of the American food industry. I’ve attended protests, signed petitions, along with thousands of other people, and yet, Congress recently passed the Monsanto Protection Act, thus ignoring the will of the people. So, I’m going to enter the link http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/

Now, this issue is pretty important to me, so I’m going to give it __ of my available vote time. So I’m going to hit this button.,... and there, now you see the link has been added __ times to the chain of votes. Anyone can see it, it’s anonymized so no one knows it was me who voted for it, and I’ve added weight to this issue by voting for it ___ times.

Aa: ok so thats the entire concept. Its easy as that from the perspective of the voters. Now I will provide the technical summary then let jasper and vlad explain that part. FIX THIS BEFORE INTERVIEW***) BitVote is a self-developing digital ecosystem that empowers the people to interpret and express themselves in measurable ways by codifying time units of real life individual human beings as opposed upvoting fake internet points. BitVote will protect Ethereum - as well as the entire Internet - from Social and Political Attacks by providing people with revolutionary yet deceptively simple protections.

Stephan: what challenges do you face?

Jasper: key words: scalability, ethereum code, gas, chain, hanging blocks, “merkle root to obey the rule”?, refute C3D, magnet, torrent, user, interfaces, wiki. (final topic before transition is 1perID vs DoubleVoting)

vlad- define the key challenges of the main problem, who is sybil (quick history of multiple personality disoder diagnosis, craze and hoax if you want to sound cheeky), why we need reputation systems, what are reputation systems, what does 1perID mean, mention wiki against for more info (also lets get more info on the reputations page)

Stephan: “Future”? ← ask stephan what this means. our code plan? or long term artsy-fartsy stuff?

Stephan: conclusion

As: artsy fartsy time, “bring the web back to the way it was supposed to be” - same as conclusion on EtherCasts Interview
