Cost estimate for creating a #nostr #client #app to do local to national level polling,as a referendum/plebiscite device/product/service for governments to do accurate,geographically-sensitive polls and referendums....
GPT:
To provide a rough ballpark figure, it is not uncommon for large-scale applications with similar complexity to exceed 50,000 to 100,000 lines of code or more.
Based on the estimates provided earlier, here's a rough overall estimate for the entire project to develop a nationwide referendum app:
Total Estimated Project Cost: Considering the development team's cost and additional expenses, the total estimated project cost could range from approximately $460,000 to $560,000 or more.
[so maybe 2m?]
Estimated Time to Complete: For a project of this complexity, including development, testing, refinement, and potential unforeseen challenges, a reasonable time frame would be around 6 to 12 months.
Based on the earlier estimates, a minimum team of 3 key roles would be required:
Backend Developer
Frontend Developer
DevOps Engineer
For the sake of the estimate, let's assume an average monthly cost of $10,000 per developer.
Total Estimated Cost for the Development Team: 3 developers * $10,000/month * 12 months = $360,000
Keep in mind that the actual cost may vary based on the experience level and location of the developers, among other factors.
Additional Costs: In addition to the development team's cost, other expenses may include:
Infrastructure and Cloud Services: Costs for servers, databases, hosting, and cloud services required to run the application.
Software and Tools: Expenses for licenses and subscriptions to development tools, IDEs, and third-party libraries.
Security Audits and Testing: Budget for security experts to perform audits and penetration testing.
Legal and Compliance: Costs related to legal advice and compliance with data protection and privacy regulations.
Project Management: Fees for project management and coordination.
Software and Tools: Expenses for licenses and subscriptions to development tools, IDEs, and third-party libraries.
Legal and Compliance: Costs related to legal advice and compliance with data protection and privacy regulations.
.... please continue GPT...
Below is a rough outline of the app's structure and some key components:
Backend Server: The app will need a backend server to handle poll creation, voting, and verification of "nostr" private keys. The server would communicate with the app using API endpoints.
Database: A database is essential to store poll data, user information, and verification status. SQLite is a popular choice for small to medium-sized applications.
User Authentication: Users should be able to create accounts and log in securely. Authentication tokens (JWT) can be used for secure user sessions.
Poll Creation: Authenticated users can create polls with specific questions and options.
Voting: Users with verified "nostr" private keys can cast their votes on polls.
Verification: Users can verify their "nostr" private keys with their respective constituencies by showing ID at the relevant government office.
Security Measures: Implement security best practices like input validation, encryption, and ensuring secure communication between the app and server.
Please remember that this is a high-level outline, and the actual implementation would require careful consideration of security, error handling, and performance optimizations.
Good morning ChatGPT:
if you wanted to build an app that does polling, that is secure and scalable to a nationwide referendum, which language would you choos if you were pretending to be a master programmer like Elon musk or Jack Dorsey etc?
ChatGPT:
If I were pretending to be a master programmer like Elon Musk or Jack Dorsey and wanted to build a secure and scalable app for nationwide referendums that involves polling, I would choose a language that excels in both performance and security. Considering the scale of the application and the need for robust security measures, I would opt for a compiled language like Rust.
Rust is a modern systems programming language known for its strong emphasis on safety, performance, and concurrency. It provides memory safety guarantees through its ownership and borrowing system, which helps prevent common programming errors like null pointer dereferences and data races. Rust's compiler enforces strict rules on memory access, ensuring the application is less prone to security vulnerabilities like buffer overflows.
Here are some reasons why Rust would be a great choice for such an application:
Performance: Rust offers performance comparable to C and C++ due to its zero-cost abstractions and ability to write low-level code when needed. This is important for handling a large number of concurrent requests in a nationwide referendum app.
Concurrency: Rust has excellent support for concurrent programming through its ownership model and lightweight threads called "async tasks." This makes it easier to handle multiple concurrent users participating in the referendum.
Memory Safety: Rust's borrow checker and strict compile-time checks help eliminate common memory-related bugs, leading to a more secure application.
Community and Ecosystem: Rust has a rapidly growing and enthusiastic community, along with a robust ecosystem of libraries and tools that can aid in building secure and scalable applications.
Security: Given the importance of nationwide referendums, security is of utmost concern. Rust's design principles and safety features make it well-suited for writing secure software.
That being said, building an app for a nationwide referendum is a complex task that involves many aspects beyond just the choice of programming language. Security, scalability, and data privacy are critical considerations, and the development team must follow best practices and conduct rigorous security audits to ensure the app's integrity and reliability.
I'm going to look into building a polling client/app good enough to sell as a package to levels of gov't as cheap,simple,verified,secure referendum/plebiscite device.
I think for verification,one could go into the local city hall or state or federal office and w/picture ID confirm that #nostr public key as yours,so verification to the polling area.

I'll ask GPT for help...can Chat GPT write me a #nostr polling client/app? I'll try...VCs?Even if you go do it I'd be happy. Go do it,make a billion$ &I'll be happy for you&the world. The world needs it.
It's true. I don't know wtf to do w/it or where to find hubs. Starting w/News hashtags & I'll read up on this environment.

So @jack ,to do CDN polls one could build a simple,yet secure polling client in #nostr &people could verify their ownership of their private key/public key w/gov't somehow&the client,a mobile app of sorts,like DAMUS could be the polling stn&even contract out to gov't>Any VCs? @elonmusk
