Thinking about GNS and the Sci-Hub issues got me wondering. Isn't there an interesting application for blockchain technology as a DNS "ledger"?

Is this a feasible application? Do there already exist projects that do this?

Blockchain is not a good or secure technology to replace DNS. Gnu Name system is a good one.

Here you can find a criticism of NameCoin and blockchain :

In addition to Namecoin there's also Onename, which used to use Namecoin and has now migrated to Bitcoin. Details on why and how it works are on their blog:

There's namecoin, but I'm not sure if it is widely used: https://namecoin.info/
Namecoin is one
I found this on namecoin: https://bit.namecoin.info/

Looks interesting.
