Abstract
A method for decision-making on a blockchain includes receiving first public keys from participants, where the first public keys are related to first private keys. The first public keys are combined to generate second public keys, where the second public keys are decisions based on selections among the participants. Third public keys, which correspond to the second public keys, are communicated to the participants. A voting blockchain transaction is generated, where an input script is executed by using a digital signature that corresponds to each participant's first private key, which corresponds to a participant's selection. Output of the voting transaction is a script that represents a decision based on the participants' selections. A payment blockchain transaction is generated, where execution of an output of the payment transaction requires a digital signature that corresponds to a third public key, which corresponds to the decision of the voting transaction.
