    If I have 100 IP addresses can I have 100 votes?

    Counting identities is the part I haven't figured out yet, but there are various open source systems for that. I'm taking this in a different direction, like Wikipedia is a democracy of mostly anonymous people but still converges on accurate information, what the most number of people agree on.

    Try the proof-of-concept of Free Speech Just Pay Shipping version 0.3.1 (with source code) here http://sourceforge.net/projects/freespeechpay  or the interactive version I'll put up soon at
    http://FreeSpeechJustPayShipping.com

    A 3d chatroom where the things people write gravitate toward eachother based on total strength of associations between those short texts. Strength is a competition of who spends the most computing time trying to associate the texts, similar to Bitcoin's "proof of work" system. While there is unlimited space in the system overall, the space around any specific text is limited by 3d space, which drives competition for what people want that text to be associated with. It can be used like a forum or chatroom to associate text with responses, or to associate election candidates names with their positions on the issues, or to associate your website URL with things. Many possible uses, and a global competition for what gets associated to what else. In this peer to peer network, pairs of short text are communicated based on highest "proof of work" (see Bitcoin's design doc) on each pair, so the pairs of text that the most time is spent toward associating will spread through the network.

    Yes, count the variables! Dynamic human population number over time and decisions to be made against popular prophecies orchestrated by the number orchestrators employed by the system.
