It's a computer system where you enter records. That's it. These poor high-level government officials that can't do anything could already have implemented/procured such a system without blockchain. They haven't.
But sure, they are only lacking blockchain to make this magically happen.

If you refer to pilot projects using blockchain in some countries, these are nothing but scams looking for easy grant money, don't solve the actual problems (especially not in countries with bad record keeping), and can be implemented faster and more efficiently with any other tech.

- DennisP 5y agoMore HN comments and a twitter thread? Eh, ok.
- dmitriid 5y agoI wouldn't expect a comment containing any substance form anyone shilling for crypto. Those comments have real problems that none of the blockchain "magic" can solve. And, of course, the moment actual real problems are discussed all the crypto shills just disappear into the thin air.
