Is there any reported upside to storing that information in the blockchain instead of a stupid old database - except for guaranteeing funding for that project due to the hype? I mean really - Blockchain is the new MongoDB... I haven't seen any real world problem I've seen them solve (well, better than any existing tehnology at least) that wasn't cryptocurrencies.
