Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it :-)

You're making some good points. I am sure you address some problems, I am just not sure whether in all cases it is the right problems or whether blockchain in all cases is the right means to solve the problem.

For instance, one of the problems you mention is the problem of background checks and how long they take. Theoretically 1 big database with all info on students grades and credits would suffice right. It just needs to be a great searchable one. The problem isn't with the institutions, it is with those that cheat and invent diplomas and grades.

Also, I am a big believer that the stuff you learn at school/university which can be graded, are never the real world skills that you actually hire people on. If you need to know about Google Adwords for a certain job, of course you want to have somebody that has seen it before. But that is a filtering mechanism, just like educational level. You hire someone based on their attitude, communications skills, problem solving skills, likability, integrity etc. So the problem is not that grades and diploma's need to be verified, the problem is that we need to be able to somehow provide insight in soft and macro skills.

In my opinion there is a certain order in which certain problems need to be tackled. I'm not convinced that you will be solving the right problem at the right time. To me it sounds like you are a bit too early and that makes it very hard to achieve a critical mass and the right adoption rate.

Anyway, I still wish you a lot of luck on your project. Prove me wrong please ;-)
