## Summary

PeerAssets on-chain voting protocol.
Aim is to deliver a standardized way to organize and operate peer-to-peer voting and opinion polls in fully decentralized and trustless fashion. Both vote and poll initialization and counting must be done in completely decentralized and trustless fashion without dependency on 3rd party services.
Voting is done in two phases, vote initialization (vote_init) and vote casting (vote_cast). 
Votes or polls can be started by anyone on the deck by creating vote_init transaction and paying to deck_vote_tag address. This transaction is called vote_init.
Deck clients detect new votes or polls in progress by monitoring deck_vote_init address and participate in them by paying to their respective P2TH derived from vote_init. This transaction is called "vote_cast".

## Conventions
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119).
- "DECK", "CARD" are used as described in PeerAssets whitepaper.

Regarding the second example https://github.com/PeerAssets/rfcs/blob/master/0005-on-chain-voting-protocol-proposal.md#weighting-vote-with-pa-card-days I’d adjust the card days, because even without weighting option B did win.

What about

Alice_card_balance = 102.0
Alice_card_days = 20
Bob_card_balance = 80.0
Bob_card_days = 10
David_card_balance = 27.0
David_card_days = 10

Alice votes for option "A", while Bob and David vote "B".
Option A weight is 2040.0
Option B weight is 1070.0

Option A wins.

that leads to option A wins?
