⚙️ How It Works

2

Choose Your Position

Click on any market to see YES and NO voting addresses with QR codes.

3

Send BCH

Send exactly 600 satoshis (0.000006 BCH) to your chosen address using any BCH wallet.

4

Vote Counted

Your vote is automatically counted by monitoring UTXO transactions on the BCH blockchain.

💡 Technical Details

The system monitors Bitcoin Cash addresses for incoming transactions (UTXOs) and counts only those ≥600 satoshis as valid votes. This prevents spam and ensures fair voting while keeping costs minimal.

🔗 UTXO-Based Voting

CashCast uses UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) counting system for voting.

Why UTXOs?

  • Spam Resistant: Only UTXOs ≥600 satoshis count as votes
  • Fair Counting: Each valid UTXO = exactly 1 vote (not amount-weighted)
  • Transparent: Anyone can verify vote counts independently
Minimum Vote: 600 satoshis (0.000006 BCH)
Counting: 1 UTXO ≥600 sats = 1 vote

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Who Creates Markets?

For now, markets are created by the CashCast creator; however, users can suggest or propose a new market.

Can I Vote Multiple Times?

Yes, you can send multiple transactions to the same address. Each valid UTXO (≥600 satoshis) counts as one vote.

What if I Send the Wrong Amount?

Only UTXOs with 600+ satoshis are counted as votes. Smaller amounts are ignored, larger amounts still count as just one vote.

Can I Change My Vote?

No, you cannot change your vote once it has been cast. However, you can vote again, which implies that you can submit a new vote if you wish to change your choice.

How are market probabilities calculated?

Probability = YES votes / (YES votes + NO votes) × 100%
Each valid UTXO counts as one vote regardless of amount.

Are There Any Incentives to Vote?

Currently, there are no significant incentives to vote. The main motivations for participating are personal satisfaction and curiosity about the outcomes.
Voting is inexpensive, which may encourage participation. There is a possibility that incentives could be introduced in the future to encourage more engagement.
