> But I wouldn't trust Cloudflare to not censor anything controversial. They're already proven themselves an enemy of free speech and an enemy of tor by their behavior. Words mean little. Preferably you wouldn’t have to trust any single provider at all, regardless if you deem them trustworthy. Why can’t we have Alt-Svc for DNS that points to blockchain?

“The blockchain” is slow, clunky, and not the magical unicorn everybody tries to make it out to be.

  It’s perfectly suited for a name directory however. In fact it would be faster because every resolver would have the global view of the entire name space. Anyway, DNS propagation is not exactly instant, either; so it’s not like you can make a worse system very easily.

    Perhaps, and that already exists with Namecoin, but if I had to use it for _all_ of my DNS records like the GP suggested I'd quickly shoot my computer.

      I would not recommend Namecoin. Ethereum’s DNS contract is much better in every way.
