RFC: Voting System Choice for Hop DAO Elections

On Voting System Choice

Okay so let me answer few things. For the original question I think we can go with weighted voting. It’s a good option.

The one person one vote thing does not work due to sybil. It’s been tried and failed. Quadratic hits the same problem.

If we could try sealed voting with Shutter or any system for that matter it would be great. Seeing already how a vote is going in snapshot by default is indeed a really bad thing. Makes you feel like your vote does not matter if it’s already tending towards a specific choice.

On conflict of interest

We should absolutely not be able to vote if we have a conflict of interest and all conflicts of interest should be clearly stated.

Let me give the simplest example. I am the founder of rotki, the opensource + local portfolio tracker for crypto. I would like to get funding for hop support. I make a proposal. Vote for it and since I have such a high % of votes delegated to me I could probably even make it pass alone with the help of 1-2 of you.

This would be unethical.
