  Having a bunch of answers to very poor questions is not the goal.

  If you managed to find a good question in there of general interest that has not been answered yet, you can submit it yourself and provide your own answer. That way you are actually adding something valuable to the site.

  I agree that it is really hard to contribute in a meaningful way though.

  Then sign and send the audit log in realtime to the authority which A provided their logs to. Same effect no blockchain.

  You could also encrypt and publish it. But realistically there is always going to be some entity actually responsible for enacting the consequences for non-compliance and they are the only entity that really ever needs to check these logs.

  I am not sure I understand what the incentives to “mine” this blockchain would be. Without a certain block difficulty, which requires many miners, it will be trivial to rewrite the entire chain.

  I fail to see what blockchain can provide in the realm of audit logging?

  Fundamentally, you need to trust the systems which are logging events to log the correct events at the correct time. How does blockchain change this?
