The problem I've got with any signed, cryptographically secure replacement for DNS (including a blockchain-backed solution) is that over time names will be lost. Just like bitcoins get lost.
You need some kind of "admin access" for the system that can fix things like lost keys, at which point you might as well stick with DNS.
- kragen 4y agoor you could stick with losing the names aaronsw proposed that you could expire unrenewed names after 12 months i forget what solution namecoin and ens use
- flir 4y agoI hadn't considered expiry. That does lets lost names re-enter the pool, at least, even if not under the control of the original owner.
