So Vitor, How about you brainstorm on how America can utilize Nostr as the tech used for secure voting in elections.. I can't help but think there is a way. One vote, one private/public key. I'd think with IRS records related to taxpayer I.D.s to verify each publ/private key, the verification would be there. One Public/Private key created for one social security number. It just seems to me this would work. What do you think?

Private keys don't add much to voting. It's the same issue that blockchain people tried to apply their chain to voting. It's cool. But it doesn't solve much.
The I.R.S.?! Social security numbers? You still trust the government? Study history and you may learn that voting has been fraudulent from the beginning. The U.S. Constitution itself was passed by shady means, by only a fraction of the citizens, after the Founding Fathers had met in secret, with the records of their meeting not published for decades thereafter. Elections and "just electing the right people" aren't going to save us. View quoted note โ†’

The govt agency in charge of "verification" would just become suddenly extremely powerful. No way to sprinkle cryptography & suddenly make centralized shitcoin like architechture fair & just.
