Additional Resources

If you’ve just stumbled upon the Forum Project, have a look at the ‘Home’, ‘Features’ and ‘What is QV?’ tabs. If you’ve already read these and would like to know more, the links below will be of use. Each expands on a specific aspect of Forum’s philosophy and infrastructure.

Questions are always welcome, and can be directed to info@forumproject.co.uk.

Security

Find out how the Open Forum uses decentralised ledger technology to provide reliable and tamper-proof consensus.

Taking a Vote

Forum is an open-ended system, designed to maximise flexibility for users. This article explains how a single vote/election works, and covers best practices for doing so.

Running a Group

A step up from running a single vote, is running a group on an ongoing basis. Click here to learn how to do this, both in managed and un-managed groups.

Coordination

Complex systems cannot be created, maintained or fixed by a single person; it takes lots of people working together. Click here to learn how Forum makes this happen.

Abuse of Power

On the main page we claim that QV, and decentralised systems more broadly, can help prevent abuse of power. This is a bold statement, so please click here to learn how this works.

Wisdom of Crowds

It’s been known for well over 100 years that the combined judgements of many people are often surprisingly accurate, even when no single individual is very accurate. Find out more here.
