How to use:

Host a stand-alone node

Stand-alone nodes can be hosted on any platform supporting Node.js. A node can be configured as either of the following:

• Transaction - limited storage
  • Facilitates data storage and matchmaking operations, such as:
    • Registration
    • Voting
    • Validation
• Storage - server or cloud service - long term storage capable
  • User: press, municipalities, etc.
  • Facilitates:
    • Stability and robustness of storage
    • Archival of election results

Whether transactional or storage, a stand-alone node can optionally serve as a:

• Public IP/DNS address - incoming connections from mobile apps and NAT traversal
• Bootstrap - stable entry points for the network

Use the reference app

Mobile apps coming soon:

• VoteTorrent Election
• VoteTorrent Authority

These will be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
