Project Kudos “If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.” - Ayn Rand The voting system is a key aspect of the Virtual Accelerator. The platform’s smart contract system, built on the Ethereum blockchain, allows the community and judges to best recognise teams achievements. The team with the most kudos at the end of the competition will win the first placed prize. Voting will open one week after the event has started. Each person can give a portion of their kudos quota to one or more projects. The actual voting is done by a blockchain transaction signed with the person's identity so that it’s transparent and traceable. Each vote given to a project is therefore recorded on the Ethereum blockchain and will be irreversible. Each registered individual starts with 10 kudos. Users who provide their identity through Facebook and / or Twitter will receive an additional 100 kudos for each account. The addition of both accounts will therefore provide a total of 210 kudos. To reduce the potential for fraud a minimum 100 Facebook friends and 100 Twitter followers are required. The details of smart contract: ProjectKudos are described in the [Smart Contract Description] appendix.
