Well, not entirely vaporware - apparently others have investigated this further: |

My proposal would be method 1. Receipts could be viewed as a feature |
| 12 |
or a bug depending on your perspective - for Gentoo it probably isn't |
| 13 |
a big deal since nobody cares that much how we vote, and we have them |
| 14 |
today. |

What I couldn't find was any actual implementations. That sounds like |
| 17 |
an interesting project. |

I did spot Helios online, which seems to be a usable implementation |
| 20 |
already. This does not use the algorithm above as far as I can tell |
| 21 |
on first glance, but purports to solve the same basic problems. That |
| 22 |
is probably worth a close examination as the project seems to be a |
| 23 |
fairly serious one. |
