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.

    Generally, blockchain is really only helpful in very specific scenarios

    • where there is no trust amongst actors (there is trust in dns, I trust you to tell me the details for your DNS records)
    • immutability is important (dns records are regularly mutated, only the current state is important)
    • and performance is unimportant (performance is critically important for dns)
