Great post!

However this state of affairs has been intentional:

While Dash is great I realized we don't technically need it for all citizens. The reason is that BitMessage already uses cryptographic private and public keys.

Because of this we can be sure that only the owner of a BitMessage address' private key can send messages from that address.

So yeah I made the process simpler for our citizens since the two things were functionally identical.

Sorry for not keeping you all up to date, I'm amazed at your effort and attentiveness.

BM isn't coded the best so I think this method would be prudent for important business. And would be used to alert everyone if identities/addresses were compromised or stolen.

True, but don't forget citizenship is renewed yearly and we can demand Dash addresses for people on the council. Even if one normal citizen's identity was stolen and somehow not reported it would expire the next year.

Dash addresses are going to be needed to for paying the citizenship tax in the future.

That's the trick,we lure them in with the easy BitMessage setup and then BAM they have to install Dash later due to the tax, but then they can't back out because they already have vested interest.. muhaha

(although payment in cash/precious metals or through volunteering could also be an option)

It's because I'm CIA.

Blast, our secret plans to grow our own potatoes and wear tinfoil hats under normal hats have been foiled!

Seriously though when we get to phase 2 we will have our judges vet people, at least the ones that want to go to the communities. If we get a lot of unvetted anonymous online members we can ask them to meet once for vetting at least.

At the moment I think we are too small to catch any attention and like you know our plans really aren't against the law.

I also doubt we have any women signed up to vote in secret.
