> "Deprecate the Internet and build a new layer on top of it." That's sorta what's taking place (not the entire Internet, but a part of it that's not serving us well). It's interesting that nearly that exact language was used when DNSChain (back then "DNSNMC") was introduced: [therightkey] DNSNMC deprecates Certificate Authorities and fixes HTTPS security http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/therightkey/current/msg00715.html http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/therightkey/current/msg... > "is never going to happen." How many times has humanity heard that refrain repeated? > "For instance: the DNS doesn't play any role in matching Google search terms to SERPs, nor does it control how AIM matches names to IM accounts, nor does it control how IRC matches nicks to receivers." You seem to not understand that DNSChain is not just a DNS server. It also is a RESTful HTTP API and interface to the blockchain. This means using HTTP, not DNS. DNS is just icing on the cake (and not "throwing the baby out with the bath water"). BTW, some of those things are already starting to happen. For instance, there's PoC Pidgen fork that works with Namecoin, and also a working Bitmessage + Namecoin client out there: https://www.mail-archive.com/enigmail-users@enigmail.net/msg00963.html https://www.mail-archive.com/enigmail-users@enigmail.net/msg...
