Thinking about GNS and the Sci-Hub issues got me wondering. Isn't there an interesting application for blockchain technology as a DNS "ledger"? Is this a feasible application? Do there already exist projects that do this?

Namecoin is one

  I found this on namecoin: https://bit.namecoin.info/ https://bit.namecoin.info/ Looks interesting.

There's namecoin, but I'm not sure if it is widely used: https://namecoin.info/ https://namecoin.info/

In addition to Namecoin there's also Onename, which used to use Namecoin and has now migrated to Bitcoin. Details on why and how it works are on their blog: http://blog.onename.com/ http://blog.onename.com/
