DNSChain – A blockchain-based DNS and HTTP server • Hacker News Board

The creator of this, Greg Slepak, is very active in all kinds of blockchain technologies. My guess is that if this saw significant use, or bugs were reported, he would jump back on it full steam.

Latest commit, March 31st? Is it abandoned?

I think Slepak said he's waiting on Ethereum or blockstack to pick up where namecoin died.

How would this work? Ad-viewing is a client-side function.

The device where the impression is served would do a little work, proving that the ad was indeed viewed and thus preventing fraud.
