Good luck!
IMO this is a solution in search of a (nonexistent) problem.
I agree you are wasting your time on something that would be redundant to the actual deed recorded in the county that would have to be checked and recorded with new owners info anyway. For newer points based systems that you are just buying points that have a beneficial interest in a trust of bundled deeds owned by the trust and controlled by the developers, the Marriotts, Wyndhams, and Bluegreens are the ones that actually handle the ownership change so they won't care about or acknowledge your blockchain ledger. The typical timeshare owner is only going to buy and sell a few times in their lifetime, so even if you developed a great blockchain solution that was accepted, it would not be highly utilized or even heard of by the general public.

The exchange idea to create an alternative RCI and II may have legs but needs a lot more definition on the value propositions.
Good luck!
The exchange and rental market it where I see opportunity. I could see blockchain replacing the aging confirmation number system in the next 10 years, and thus making exchanges and rentals much more secure and eliminate the possibility of showing up for your vacation with a bogus reservation that you thought you had rented or exchanged. Plus, renting or exchanging is something most travelers are going to do every few years or so rather than just a few times in their lifetime.
