On a more serious note, Certificate Transparency, which will become mandatory in Chrome in about a year, uses technology that is strongly related to blockchains, so we're really not too far from a blockchain-like solution for the Web PKI.

- schoen 10y agoI agree that CT uses a technology related to blockchains, but as I noted above, Ben Laurie has been pretty vocal in saying that the Bitcoin-style PoW blockchain isn't a technology that he favors, and I think he thinks CT is importantly different in some respects (for example in accepting more centralization in the operation of logs: an uninvolved anonymous party can't show up and "mine" a CT log event). http://www.links.org/files/decentralised-currencies.pdf http://www.links.org/files/decentralised-currencies.pdf
