RE: Introducing SteemPoll, autonomous and decentralized crowd decision making...

in #steempoll8 years ago

I love the feature, just wish it used custom JSON rather than transfers.

I shouldn't have to use my active key to participate in a poll.

Edit: Thank you Dan for your comment!
You don't actually use Active key to participate. Only Posting key to cast a vote and that is locally signed transaction with steem.js library. How it works is that, after filling form on http://steempoll.esteem.ws you will get memo and min amount 0.010 SBD send to @steempoll and sending it whichever way is user's choice. For now user has to send fund to finalize publishing, this is against spams and abuse. So they can use Steemit.com for transfer and they can even use Steemit.com for voting, please check @steempoll account posts for example. It is designed so that any front-end on Steem can have access to poll as form of Post, new users don't have vote weight controller so they can cast a vote easily on steempoll website.
How would I use custom_json to reach most users, please elaborate?

If I'm not mistaken, custom_json can be used to suck up arbitrary JSON, and any user can write to custom_json. But I think that there was some complication to this. I'll let you know if I recall.
