I firmly believe that the blockchain, and a lot of crypto stuff in general, is snake-oil, and a solution in search of a problem, but dns seems like a place where it could be useful. Am I wrong? As a blockchain-hater, I would love to be.

    What? No. What problem will will this solve?

        I agree that DNS is horribly centralized and outdated, but tech isn’t gonna solve this problem which is political. I think every TLD should be ran by a federation of independent worker co-ops managing each TLD autonomously. who then convene at a federation council to replace the functions of ICANN

        letting people like Elon Musk control DNS should make it obvious why this is a horrible idea. most of those crypto people are fascists and/or “anarcho-capitalists”

            hence the inherent problem with crypto. you’re always gonna end up with fascist billionaires at the helm when you essentially implement a vote determined by how much bro-tokens you own.

            I’m not aware of any blockchain implementation that isn’t just a reskin of late stage capitalism.

            they call it “decentralized” when most of Bitcoin’s mining power is centralized in the hands of a few shadow companies and for the proof of stake model it’s centralized in the hands of a few wall street bros
