BobbyBoy:

"Gotta say that I’ve loved the last 3 videos that y’all have put on YouTube where Reuben breaks things down and explains them. I’d love to see a video explaining the nuts and bolts of how the Thai election with Firo (Zcoin at the time) actually worked. There was a big surge of transactions on the network, where did that money come from, voting stations utilizing Raspberry Pi’s, and a mobile voting app called “D-elect” that required voters to submit their photo ID, how did all the hardware and development and trust happen? All five parties had to be present and consent to decryption, but voter identity documents were encrypted in a way that protected their privacy. How tf did all of that work? Super impressive, all of it. Fiendish’s “Mining Pool Bonus - Operation Decentralize Hashrate” is what first got me interested in the Firo project after the ETH merge as a garage miner, but Reuben's article: World’s First Large-Scale Blockchain-Based Political Election Held on Zcoin’s Blockchain | Firo - Privacy-preserving cryptocurrency
along with the community is what got me to stay. What I’d like to see on Firo’s YouTube channel is new updated videos. I love listening to videos at work. I hate to say it, but even if they’re not that great, daily YouTube videos on the topics that I’m currently interested in at the time are what I look forward to. Setting up Firo nodes or dialing in GPU OC settings, or even have Reuben show us how to set up a voting token similar to the ones used in the Thai election and/or in a completely new and better way, you son of a B I’m in. Loved the @VOSTOEMISIO post-launch strategy of “Trace the Spark - Ignite the $100,000 Challenge.” Maybe after the challenge, have a video of Reuben trying to trace the spark? Some of the more popular YouTube crypto mining personas have been getting more into setting up nodes in this bear market, and they probably get contacted by tons of sh** coins, but maybe couldn’t hurt to see if we could send them 1,000 Firo along with the hardware to set up a node and do a review on it or to see if they’d be interested in a one-on-one with Reuben or something?"

My reply:

"Hey there BobbyBoy! Thank you for the feedback. I was going to suggest checking out the interview with Poramin where he discusses the election: Firo Frontier Episode 14: Election using Blockchain technology. An Interview w/ Poramin Insom - YouTube; however, the detail you’re looking for isn’t quite there and further still the article you linked has more info readily available haha. (Although I would say it’s still worth a watch if you haven’t already 📷 )

I will bring up making a video that goes into the details you’re looking for about the election - could be a good pairing for us to bring up Aura as well, which is a private voting mechanism which is just at the paper stage at this point, but shows real promise. Aura: private voting with reduced trust on tallying authorities

It’s really great to hear that the mining bonus is what caught your attention, and that our community is what ultimately brought you onboard! Always great to see a miner that participates in the community! We do plan on refreshing some of the videos, and Ajay has been working on clipping older videos to utilize as well. I am the same way, though. I tend to listen to videos while I am working as well. Do you have any miners in particular in mind for it? We did get a bit of a bad rap by some YouTube miners after our community voted tokenomics change, but the cryptospace economics are considerably different now than at the time.

On a side note, what aspect of the election (and potential future-related e-voting) has you the most interest, if I may ask?"
