Will disallowing inheritance reduce corruption?
again, money isn't the problem, it's people greed. money is just a paper we assign value but holds none. in a survival situation the first thing that gets forgotten is money because is useless. if you know that you have to pass your entire fortune before you die as soon as you get your first child you start giving it to him, maybe with gifts, maybe you buy things in his name, it doesn't matter, you have a lot of time, 18 years actually. We already do this stuff now with the small inheritance tax of 10-30%, with a tax of 100% you can be sure people will find better ways

a lot of stuff isn't tracked and is easily hiddeable, like gold chains and decorative diamonds/emeralds, and they fit pretty well in a ziploc bag inside a wall; you just need to make several small purchases and "loose" them over the years. Money isn't perverting anything, people are, and they will keep doing it with money, bitcoin or even material trade; so as long that there's greed no "truth incentive" will ever overcome a nice secret bribe earned by just not doing anything and looking the other way

This answer ignores the fact that money is a means to an end, specifically for obtaining food and resources. Even if you convert all money in the world into traceable bitcoins the only thing i need to do is buy a lot of a stable resource (copper bars are always needed), put it somewhere out of sight, offer a few to any official that comes to check on me, and resell at a later date. Corruption exists because everybody wants to be in a better situation for himself/his offspring and a chance to earn extra wealth for a "small favor" has appeared before them; bitcoin won't do anything about that

What effects would someone undergo who doesn't sleep for 3 weeks?
i once tried to stay awake for 3 days as a way to know my limits (i was 19 and curious, so did a lot of other stupid "tests") and by the end of the second day i couldn't even walk 200m without needing to sit and take a 2 min rest because my legs felt like they were tearing apart on their own. so if your prot isn't staying on a chair or a bed it will be quite easy to figure out that she needs to sleep
