Applications to Voting Machine

  1. One idea is to have 2 nodes running on the beagleboard. We can use one node to input a vote into the blockchain, and then we can extract the inputted vote from the blockchain on the other node.

  2. Another idea is to represent each vote with a set amount of ether. Each candidate could have a node representing it. When someone votes for a candidate, the vote receive node will send a set amount of ether to the candidate's node. Somehow we would need to extract the number of votes for each candidate, and pool those votes together. From a system architecture standpoint, this could work but might be unnecessarily complex.
