“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.
