I'm sorry I'm being so relentlessly negative, but I'm skeptical of this approach too. There's the obvious Orwellian angle -- it sounds like you might be legally required to have an online presence tied to your real name and identity -- and if you stigmatize basic-income recipients as parasites, you'd risk generating the political will to repeal basic income entirely. (See also Bill Clinton, in a memorable only-China-can-go-to-Nixon moment, promising to "end welfare as we know it" in the 1990s.) I think it's better to just push through with the idea and accept the inefficiencies of everyone getting it -- once a given country has the tax base to pull it off.
