we leverage blockchain to:
-
Protect the user's identity
-
Store poll results as anonymized contracts
-
Digitally signed contracts with elected officials (adapted from N. Gingrich: "Contract with the Community")
-
Archived digital copies (PDFs) of real legal documents such as agreements, MSAs, licenses, regulatory approval, inspection reports, fees with vendors and local regulatory agencies, utilities, partners, or auditors
-
Archived digital copies of legal agreements with the jurisdiction (city, county, etc.) including non-profit tax returns, distribution of profits or "shares" to the community, derived from the licensing of community-produced content and possibly NFTs
-
Historical chat stream logs or even meeting recordings are candidates for data retention in a blockchain. For MVP, we use traditional archiving on triple-redundant cloud regions (possibly multicloud) for storing the content and put the checksum of the file and its unique filename and bucket path in the blockchain.
