Travis Kriplean and Mike Toomim have developed a tool for collecting and comparing opinions from large groups of people on political issues. It's called Consider.it. It's awesome.
Consider.it allows you to quickly view a histogram of opinions for each proposal to see how much support it has, and also has features for in-depth exploration of the reasons why each person or subgroup supports or opposes each proposal.
We have put together a webpage for Bitcoin using this technology at http://bit.ly/1P8UzFw. Please use it. Contribute your opinions, add your reasons for your positions, and when necessary create new proposals and descriptions.
You can learn how Consider.it works by watching the 2 minute video on the main page, https://consider.it/.
Travis is currently working on an opt-in validation feature to make vote manipulation difficult. We will be asking users to submit a photo of themselves with a handwritten note including
- Your username on bitcoin.consider.it
- The current date
- The text "bitcoin.consider.it"
If you have the time to submit a photo for your account using this format (like http://bit.ly/1P8Uz8m), that would be awesome. We will also add a check-box to filter out users who have not submitted this validation. This way, people who wish to be anonymous can make their opinions known, but those who suspect vote manipulation can exclude the anonymous cowards.
