Professor Stephen Hawking supports also this idea:

May be brainscan(basic technology requirement to the virtual life in a blockchain) is more closer than you think.
In the near future every American will have an implanted geolocator in his brain and his brain will be scanned periodically on suspected activities.
The current vice-president is admitting that this is already discussed.

I just want to let everyone know, I don't really exist. My friend uploaded my mind to a blockchain, and I'm stuck here until someone works this out.
We will make a Turing test on you to be sure. You must be from an old beta version. Uploaded minds in the final version will be indistinguishable from that of a human beings.
If my downloaded brain is indistinguishable from my old human brain, then how would a test be able to tell the difference? And I have access to the internet in here, so it's not like I'm frozen in time. But I don't really understand how this works.
Those brainscanned with the older beta or with the cheep Chinese copy don't have all human brain capabilities.
Make a new upload and overwrite yourself then you will be indistinguishable from the original.
You can even choose premium features with 50% more virtual mind storage space and 50% higher speed and you will be like a hyperactive genius.

So far so good!
I only worry whether mindscanner will keep my brain intact while doing its work
They are recent breakthroughs in non-invasive brain imaging:I only worry whether mindscanner will keep my brain intact while doing its work
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_neuroimaging
Existing techniques like RMN scan are not altering the state of existing neural connections:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging
Slowly all parts of the puzzle could come together:
- brain-scanner
- quantum computer
- updated Namecoin technology to host and run uploaded minds
you can check books on telepathy for this and you can do many things with this
Ok, where I can download the client ?

Lifecoins will be built on the top of Namecoin so you need the Namecoin client and some coins also.
You could reserve already the namespace entry, the location for your virtual life with the Namecoin client
(ex. life/bob)
for an unbelievable low price of 0.02 NMC.
When the technology will be ready(the mindscanner must be developed first) in 20-30 years then the Namecoin prices will be extremely high so it is better if you buy now a couple of thousand because the mind upload will cost about
100 NMC for the beginning and 10 NMC every year for standard hosting(but in 4 years the prices will be halved).
In the standard hosting the virtual mind capacities will be similar with the real one and for every new information stored something old must be deleted.
So far so good!

are you high? static storage of brains, is like freezing it. you will exist forever, but you will have not thoughts and will therefor not live either.
you need a computer to calculate on the chemical reactions within the brain, not just a still picture of it.
Correct. The brain has a short term memory, which will run on a dynamic memory and will be updated to the blockchain from time to time. (transferred to the long term memory)you need a computer to calculate on the chemical reactions within the brain, not just a still picture of it.
Any other technical problems ?

Forked brains would lack the security and guaranty of the main chain. Virtual minds will have also some needs, to communicate for example, to hear and see the world.
Hacked and forked minds would be kept secretly(without communication with the outside world) in a kind of slavery just for exploiting them.
Their blockchain would be a slavery chain.
Slavery is evil even in the virtual life. Hacked and forked minds would be kept secretly(without communication with the outside world) in a kind of slavery just for exploiting them.
Their blockchain would be a slavery chain.
It is not so much difference between genial and crazy.

What happens when the blockchain is forked?
Two of you maybe? Something like reverse scitsophrenia?
You would need multiple brains then.

Two of you maybe? Something like reverse scitsophrenia?The scan of the cerebral cortex will be the main part of the uploaded mind. The brain centers for seeing and hearing will not be implemented but there will be standard modules to attach a webcam.
So disabled persons which have motor disabilities or disabilities in their audio-visual input will not be in disadvantage like in real life.
The activation of uploaded persons will need to make a complex check by start to see if they are in the main chain otherwise it will be not possible to avoid duplication.
However it could happen that hackers will crack some older mind backups to run them on their own network and they will work like kind of clones.
