sounds like I should change my tune to: “don’t put things on non-PQE unpersmissioned privacy-unpreserving blockchains” ::)
-
Or just “you should use Quorum”

Use Signal, Tor, Algo, Quorum!

Sorry, but I just spent fifteen minutes trying to find a specification of the Quorum protocol, with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction so that I can actually assess its (unspoken?) correctness and security properties? /me not impressed so far

Are you trolling me Dan? ;) I know *you* know what a protocol specification is, but do they? There isn’t one in that directory, or repository, as far as I can see. I did find this IACR paper about integrating ZK, FWIW. https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1093.pdf

haha! sorry :-x. Considering the pace of development, it may be more useful to speak directly with the developers. I'm sure
@AmberBaldet can put you in touch if you're interested. Having spoken with them myself, the topics you're interested in are top of mind for their team. -

Oh hi Joe :) The privacy model is documented but not formalized yet. Briefly, it's just NaCl secretbox/box of tx contents shared only with intended recipients. Happy to describe in more detail.

For the record I don't think anyone should be doing any kind of elections using any kind of blockchain (or computers...) *cough* Denmark *cough*

Blockchains are great for decentralized processes, but elections already need a central authority, as discussed in the literature and summarized here, so blockchains are overkill and add unneeded complexity:https://medium.com/@nealmcb/blockchains-are-great-for-audits-but-not-elections-7cd16e75927c …

I don't disagree with you. I only wanted to address the misconception that blockchains cannot address issues of data and transaction privacy. Thanks for the extra election-specific info!
