Blockchain Domains and their Use Cases

[wattcrypto]

I've been hearing about Unstoppable Domains recently and wanted to know the reason behind putting domain names on the blockchain. The use cases are pretty relevant to UX issues- first being the intimidating cryptographic characters associated with a address. The domain would allow the user to have a simple human readable address that could connect to (BTC, ETH, LTC addresses)

The other use case being a website that the user owns and is free from censorship since they own their domain name and address.

To my knowledge no one is doing this but I do like the use case situations

Tor is a bit like this? Afaik they use public and private keys to work out who is who but I couldn't give anything in depth. The public key also serves as a handy way to do encryption to transmit the session keys at the start of the connection rather than searching for a random certificate but I'm not sure if that's used or not. It's worth noting it took Facebook a week to brute force facebookwwwi.onion so it might not be too strong but it is strong enough for now.

I started a thread about this in the Ivory Tower - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132811.0

I pre-registered the JetCash name, but haven't heard anything since I paid my $10.

Owning a domain name and address doesn't matter,when it comes to censorship.It's all about the internet service providers (ISP) and how neutral they are.
I like the idea of connecting domains with bitcoin addresses,but it simply won't happen,because we are used to the current long and ugly addresses.
