piamancini··on Why Y Combinator Funded a Radical Political Party in Argentina
You have a very valid point. We are looking for funding now to be able to provide blockchain support for voting in democracyOS

Hi! Please read beyond the title that is simply clickbait. YC is not funding a party, they are backing a non for profit that develops democracyOS the software the party (as well as other parties around the world) uses.

Hi! Firstly: not sure how aware you are of Argentina's working class, but the subte is a huge issue. Folks working late hours, doing night shifts, students that attend night uni because they work during the days have to get the bus back home, which not only takes longer but it's very dangerous. The PDR doesn't cater to middle classes. Actually the project that was pushed through congress because of DemocracyOS was the Worker's Party (PO) project to make better conditions for nurses in public hospitals.

That said, YC is not funding the net party, they are backing a non for profit that develops DemocracyOS the software the party (and many other organisations around the world use). The title is click-bait and misleading.

Finally, please do produce evidence that the US is actively trying to oust Kirchner.

I believe the challenge is not only security but a successful identity validation protocol. We've been working on different approaches, including looking at blockchain. How to distribute securely id validation is our main concern.

Good point. Maybe thinking of a debate in steps? Some way of aggregating main positions and then allowing users to frame themselves in these if they want to or post an alternative, not yet aggregated opinion.

Yes, that is the key in many ways. It allows for a dynamic configuration of preferences that the current system doesn't. It is on the roadmap but we haven't developed it yet. Suggestions are naturally more than welcome.
