Why can't voters be provided with a random vote ID, which they can write down and later check against a list?

If you're concerned about people buying votes directly by buying IDs, just make the set of possible IDs small enough (ie, the same size as the number of registered voters) to confound buyers into being uncertain whether their provider might have just thought up a random ID and written it.

"bring me an ID which shows you voted for X and I'll give you $5"

"bring me an idea showing you voted for X or you're fired"

How is giving them a unique ID any different than the current situation? They can just as easily take a video of themselves voting as proof for these purposes.

That is quite new, and of questionable legality http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/us/selfies-in-voting-booth...

for exactly the reasons above.
