Blockchain network incorporating an individual's geo-location via a communication network and applications using the same

A blockchain network management system comprising:

• a) a blockchain network configured for providing individual blockchain users with access to a blockchain;
• b) a communication network for individual blockchain users with a smartphone having a GPS receiving unit;
• c) a biometric user identification technology coupled to the smartphone individual blockchain users, wherein the system is configured for identifying an individual blockchain user with the biometric user identification technology by obtaining biometric characteristics that are unique to each human via the communications network;
• d) an authentication network coupled to the communications network [20] for authenticating the individual blockchain user's identity and geolocation, wherein the system provides access of authenticated individual blockchain users to the individual blockchain.

A blockchain network management method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a blockchain network configured for providing individual blockchain users with access to a blockchain;
• b) providing individual blockchain users with a smartphone having a GPS receiving unit associated with a communications network and with a biometric user identification technology coupled to the smartphone;
• c) identifying an individual blockchain user with the biometric user identification technology by obtaining biometric characteristics that are unique to each human via the communications network, wherein the biometric user identification technology coupled to the smartphone is one of i) a continuous heart based biometric user identification technology, ii) fingerprint biometric user identification technology, or iii) facial recognition biometric user identification technology;
• d) authenticating the individual blockchain user's identity and geolocation in an authentication network coupled to the communications network;
• and
• e) providing access of authenticated individual blockchain users to the individual blockchain, wherein providing access of authenticated individual blockchain users to the individual blockchain includes writing data to the blockchain, including data associated with each authenticated user [14] and includes reading data from the blockchain.
