If I've understood it correctly, it sounds like a very effective way of recruiting with certainty through verifying applications with the blockchain.

When it comes to the 'criminal record' aspect it could be a bit harder for people that have a past to make a living.
Maybe this doesn't have to be a problem if steemit.com is the facebook of the future, or if basic income movement is international.

At the same time it might be hard to speculate since cryptocurrencies & the blockchan are changing the world in ways we maybe cannot imagine yet.

thanks for the post!
