I am building the **Kane Diagnostics Civic Infrastructure** — a public diagnostic record platform for HOA (Homeowners Association) governance, hosted on a self-sovereign Hubzilla node on the Fediverse. + +**The problem this addresses:** + +In Illinois, approximately 4 million residents live under HOA governance. The legal framework gives homeowners significant rights — to inspect records, to vote on bylaw amendments, to recall a Board, to audit finances — that are routinely violated. These violations go unchallenged not because homeowners lack rights but because they lack verified, structured, tamper-evident records that an attorney can evaluate efficiently. + +A Board can claim "we have the votes" with no independent way to verify it. A management company can conduct a vote and report any result it chooses. There is no voter roll the Board cannot edit, no ballot that cannot be backdated, no result that cannot be revised. + +**What I am building:** + +A civic infrastructure platform where homeowners verify their identity and residency through a structured process, the verified participant list becomes a tamper-evident voter roll, formal polls are conducted with cryptographically signed ballots, and poll results are issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials timestamped to Bitcoin. The entire record is permanently public and independently verifiable by attorneys, courts, and regulators — without trusting the platform. + +**Why Ğ1 and Duniter:** + +The Civic Infrastructure needed a value layer whose legitimacy is constructed the same way the platform's own legitimacy is constructed — through a web of trust between real people in real places. Ğ1 is the only currency whose membership model is structurally identical to what the platform already does. + +A homeowner verified through the SASE process has already satisfied the requirements for Ğ1 web of trust certification — they have been vouched for by a real person, at a real address, about a real property. The Civic Infrastructure is therefore a natural Ğ1 onramp on the Fediverse, and Ğ1 certification strengthens the voter identity layer by adding an independent second vouching system. + +A Duniter v2 mirror node is running on the orchestrator. A self-sovereign Ğ1 wallet is being built into the platform so that every verified participant holds their own Ğ1 identity under their own BIP39 mnemonic, in their own browser, with keys that never touch the server. The operator is not privileged — I hold my own guest login under my own association like any other participant. + +**The contribution:** + +This is a verified, legally grounded, real-world use case for Ğ1 as civic infrastructure — not speculation, not a proof of concept, but a deployed platform serving real homeowners in a real jurisdiction under real statute. It demonstrates that the Ğ1 web of trust can anchor governance processes that courts and regulators will recognize, and that the Fediverse can host economic and civic activity that is self-sovereign, tamper-evident, and institutionally credible. + +The project is open source, self-hosted, and operated by a verified current resident with no institutional backing.
