I believe by using two already created open-source programs a Transparent Government Protocol could be made easily, quickly, cheaply, and securely.
Firstly, Blender (www.blender.org) is a free open-source 3D Modeling / Animation program. Within the program is a section called “Nodes”. Nodes is basically excel on steroids and a small module of the program. You can visually see a pipeline or familytree of how things are connected. Everything is grouped and sub-grouped in boxes making for a user friendly interface.
Second, cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is the most commonly known of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are basically a peer-to-peer virtual banking system. It’s decentralized, so no one party can control it.Think of it as “Utorrent” for banking. Instead of music and videos, you’re transferring and receiving funds and in certain cases mining (creating) virtual currencies.
Merging these two technologies will give you an open government where one can watch their government as if an organism under a microscope. Where the custom cryptocurrency would be the blood. Making all transaction public.
Where the flow started, where its flowing, how much, where it ends, with a ledger of all transaction… all in real time like a tweeter feed. You could watch each pulse.
The custom cryptocurrency would be a substitute for actual dollars on a 1:1 ratio. The reason for this is if money is stolen or allocated unjustly the custom cryptocurrency has no value except at certain junctures in the “Family Tree” node system. The custom cryptocurrency could only be “cashed out” at certain points.
Also this gives the power to the custom cryptocurrency community. If an “official” should decide to spend moneys on a project the public does not approve of they can simply not allow the transfer as an online social community similarly to how the Bitcoin community might vote against a 50-50 attack, which is an attempt to steal.
Most importantly there is a opportunity for any user to download the Government Template “Family Tree” and improve the “flow” publicly. The improvement could be calculated by the software and viewed by the public for verifying its legitimacy and accuracy.
Algorithms that the public submit could also search for corruption as bots (automated programs).
The work has been done in two halves. The challenge would be putting them together.
