> It is a poor idea to use blockchain for government registries. If you want transparency, simply publish signed daily updates and that's enough.

A blockchain is essentially that, just with the daily update that's being signed also including the signature and hash of the previous day.

Blockchain as a technology is actually useful here. It does not mean automatically that blocks have to be mined by third parties, although pseudocurrencies have gone that route for decentralization reasons.
