Voting
|
|
******
|
|
|
|
The following contract is quite complex, but showcases
|
|
a lot of Solidity's features. It implements a voting
|
|
contract. Of course, the main problems of electronic
|
|
voting is how to assign voting rights to the correct
|
|
persons and how to prevent manipulation. We will not
|
|
solve all problems here, but at least we will show
|
|
how delegated voting can be done so that vote counting
|
|
is **automatic and completely transparent** at the
|
|
same time.
|
|
|
|
The idea is to create one contract per ballot,
|
|
providing a short name for each option.
|
|
Then the creator of the contract who serves as
|
|
chairperson will give the right to vote to each
|
|
address individually.
|
|
|
|
The persons behind the addresses can then choose
|
|
to either vote themselves or to delegate their
|
|
vote to a person they trust.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the voting time, ``winningProposal()``
|
|
will return the proposal with the largest number
|
|
of votes.

Possible Improvements

=====================
|
|
|
|
Currently, many transactions are needed to assign the rights
|
|
to vote to all participants. Can you think of a better way?

Blind Auction
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
In this section, we will show how easy it is to create a
|
|
completely blind auction contract on Ethereum.
|
|
We will start with an open auction where everyone
|
|
can see the bids that are made and then extend this
|
|
contract into a blind auction where it is not
|
|
possible to see the actual bid until the bidding
|
|
period ends.

Simple Open Auction
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The general idea of the following simple auction contract
|
|
is that everyone can send their bids during
|
|
a bidding period. The bids already include sending
|
|
money / ether in order to bind the bidders to their
|
|
bid. If the highest bid is raised, the previously
|
|
highest bidder gets her money back.
|
|
After the end of the bidding period, the
|
|
contract has to be called manually for the
|
|
beneficiary to receive his money - contracts cannot
|
|
activate themselves.

|
Blind Auction
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The previous open auction is extended to a blind auction
|
|
in the following. The advantage of a blind auction is
|
|
that there is no time pressure towards the end of
|
|
the bidding period. Creating a blind auction on a
|
|
transparent computing platform might sound like a
|
|
contradiction, but cryptography comes to the rescue.
|
|
|
|
During the **bidding period**, a bidder does not
|
|
actually send her bid, but only a hashed version of it.
|
|
Since it is currently considered practically impossible
|
|
to find two (sufficiently long) values whose hash
|
|
values are equal, the bidder commits to the bid by that.
|
|
After the end of the bidding period, the bidders have
|
|
to reveal their bids: They send their values
|
|
unencrypted and the contract checks that the hash value
|
|
is the same as the one provided during the bidding period.
|
|
|
|
Another challenge is how to make the auction
|
|
**binding and blind** at the same time: The only way to
|
|
prevent the bidder from just not sending the money
|
|
after he won the auction is to make her send it
|
|
together with the bid. Since value transfers cannot
|
|
be blinded in Ethereum, anyone can see the value.
|
|
|
|
The following contract solves this problem by
|
|
accepting any value that is larger than the highest
|
|
bid. Since this can of course only be checked during
|
|
the reveal phase, some bids might be **invalid**, and
|
|
this is on purpose (it even provides an explicit
|
|
flag to place invalid bids with high value transfers):
|
|
Bidders can confuse competition by placing several
|
|
high or low invalid bids.
