**2018**

- [3125822-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-007) [failure/asserted] *(failure mode)* -- The hidden voting scheme depends on the choice of symmetric encryption protocol: a poorly chosen protocol exposes the platform to a birthday problem attack in which malicious voters submit an encrypted key that can be decrypted in two different ways, letting them retroactively choose their vote.
  > This symmetric encryption protocol must be chosen carefully to avoid the birthday problem attack, where malicious voters could send an encrypted key that could be decrypted in two different ways.

- [3125822-015](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-015) [mechanism/argued] -- Tyranny of the majority is countered by a time delay in announcing upvote results, so that experts cannot see the majority position before they commit their own stake.
  > The second mechanism that counters the tyranny of the majority is the time-delay in announcing the results of upvotes, so experts cannot plainly see the majority position before posting their stake.
