If you have trouble installing the dependencies in Arch Linux, you may want to update your mirror list with reflector. sudo pacman -S reflector reflector --verbose -l 200 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Be warned, this will alter your system! You may want to make a backup first. sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bk #do your thing... sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bk /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

For now, there is a 20-block cycle. 1-10: votecoin-holders may give encrypted votes on decisions. (in the final version of truthcoin, this step will take 1000+ blocks) 11-15: votecoin-holders may decrypt their votes 16-20: if there are at least 3 votecoin-holders, and at least 5 decisions they have voted on, then we can do SVD to come to consensus about these decisions.
