This is a fantastic idea. Thanks for the concept; I wrote this paper to discuss what you could do with this:
 https://github.com/MiWCryptoCurrency/UTXOC/blob/master/UTXOCv1.pdf?raw=true

The git repository also has scripts:

 * eckey2coin.py (to easily generate the address + QR code, based on pycoin key utils (ku).
 * utxocsr.py (to generate a certificate signing request from a raw EC key; and embed the transaction hash in the x509v3 Subject Alternative Name.
