Decentralization and its effect on the economy is a controversial subject that has fueled discussions in the United States. communities online and in alternative media.

This phenomenon has also threatened the infrastructure payment processing monopolies whose power is traditionally due to their almost absolute control over transaction processing, authorization and governance.

Just like this cryptocurrency effect on wealth and the economy: Blockchain solutions when used for rating / voting systems have the potential to make political and democratic power Voting citizens if they are properly applied as a method of voting and verification.

Claims for Fraud and Electronic Voting Machines

Election fraud has been in the news recently because of the recent election of the US state in Alabama, which resulted in a Legal contest (disqualified) to lose Republican candidate Roy Moore. An important and controversial discussion point surrounding the election was the state's decision before the distribution of votes, to wipe out all the electronic votes, thus eliminating the option of recounting the case of A dispute like this.

Proving that this repeated question should be bipartite: the same thing happened earlier that same year. In June, the state of Georgia removed its electronic voting records after an election that resulted in the election of a Republican.

Some have argued that these cases could be attributed to hardware or software flaws, incidents such as technical faults or alterations, thus undermining the integrity of the data produced.

The current landscape of the Blockchain security

Dealing with a concept as foreign as decentralized central government, we need to ensure that the argument in favor an alternative is both convincing and consistent if something will change. In light of this, we must also consider how (and if) a proposed Blockchain-based solution would be able to provide a sufficient standard of protection for highly confidential information.

The risk of malicious attacks by external parties is an endemic concern faced by Blockchain users and ICOs. The vulnerability has also been known to extend to internal cases, such as the accusations that led to the scandal of insider trading at Coinbase, which notably helped to highlight the real threat that these bad actors are weighing on the cryptographic economy.

For this reason, these new token creators must be extremely diligent when creating their infrastructure to cover themselves and especially the customers: who must feel as safe as possible when they invest time and money in risky businesses like an ICO. Many Blockchain innovators are wisely diverting a large amount of resources to address these security gaps: implementing comprehensive preventive and reactive strategies based on a combination of process and technology-based solutions.

Parity Begins at Home

It may seem far from becoming a tool for fighting political corruption, but as a concrete case study: Lina, Zurich, based in Switzerland, makes a strong proposal with its unique MVP, which aims to reduce unethical practices in the exam sector. It can be said that the fundamental benefits that their current system proposes to provide are applicable to a range of uses other than reviews: data integrity, traceability and transparency.

Lina aims to become the first "tokenized" user review system with practical applications that range from household items to digital media such as video games. The goal of their system is to resolve discrepancies that affect online journals, including questionable reviews of paid journals or company staff; There is a greater demand for customer feedback than for supply, and the prioritization of quantitative and overall scores on quality reviews by prolific reviewers.

As a user review platform, Lina.review type. It would be great to see where their project is going and if they get the partnerships that would help launch their project into the main discussion.

They really put the proverbial horse in front of the wagon with this successful platform that was established well before the announcement of their ICO, which should be launched on January 15, 2018, suggesting that I was not going to be able to do anything. they have tested the system thoroughly because they claim to care for a global community of users.
