What is this panel discussion about? Will there be multiple talking a points?
Bitcoin was used during the November 2024 presidential elections by Stacy Scott in Screven County GA to protect her county election results. She then used it to protect voting rolls in 2025 while preserving voter privacy. In 2026, Stacy Scott deployed this technology into the first video surveillance camera in the world to protect ballot drop-box footage in real time. We will discuss how members of the audience from Georgia can help replicate this in their county for the November mid-term election. Could the entire world of video surveillance follow Stacy's lead? If the state follows suit, the odds are greater that we live in a world where video surveillance cannot be tampered without a trace.
There will be multiple talking points discussing how Bitcoin has already been used since November 2024 for elections results, voting rolls and video surveillance. In addition, we can explore how this could be rolled out to the rest of the state, particularly given new legislation that went into effect in 2026 for ballot drop box surveillance in every county.
What would an attendee learn from this talk? How Simple Proof helped an Elections Administrator protect election records using the OpenTimestamps protocol and Bitcoin, particularly the world's first implementation of "Rolling Timestamps" into a government video surveillance camera. How the elections system of Georgia works broadly and what the Bitcoin community in the state can do to help improve election integrity. How "Rolling Timestamps" works in video surveillance and how those recordings are protected from AI alterations.
