Handshake: Decentralizing DNS to Improve the Security of the Internet
I love the idea but it seems like like a long shot to get the network effect working in your favor instead of against you. You mention a bottoms up approach and what happened in Catalonia but that is such a tiny percentage of the population facing problems that most people will hopefully never face. How does this go mainstream? Why should the average person care about a more secure solution to DNS? Most people happily ship their data off to Google and Facebook and are blissfully ignorant about the potential consequences. It seems like you would have to make people care more about internet privacy before something like this would work on a large scale.<p>IMO, it faces the problem that most crypto projects are running into; it might be good solution, but the problem doesn’t effect the average person enough for it gain mainstream traction.
