This requires connecting via RPC to a plebbit node—technically already possible, but there's no default connection configured. A default connection would require a public RPC service (similar to what Infura provides for crypto wallets, but for plebbit nodes). This would allow all users to be connected to a P2P node by default using a free tier subscription in the background, potentially monetized via ads injected in the RPC service-owned boards. + +#### Pubsub Voting + The protocol design for pubsub voting is already drafted in [plebbit-js issue #25](https://github.com/plebbit/plebbit-js/issues/25).
