or you can go the Secure Scuttlebutt route where the user resolves a name based on some simple function of how your peers (which you explicitly choose) resolve it. Blockchain DNS will probably happen first, but i think name resolution which doesn’t require global consensus is under-appreciated. it’s like if i ask wikipedia (or a non-localized Google) for the page on “i3”, v.s. asking a random selection of my friends for the page on “i3”: i’m just always going to get a better result by more heavily weighting the response of my peers than the responses of people far-removed from me.
