I am amused at anything that puts "blockchain" and "free" in the same sentence, or that
assume that it scales up beyond a prototype.

Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to collect all of the changes at every second
or third level name server.  If you'd like public AXFR access to my servers, uh, no.

It makes much more sense to go in the other direction, domain names
are just tokens and you look for semantic meaning at other levels.
