0x6763, why are you so hostile? Your tone is not contributing to this discussion.

I don't find the arguments against using bitcoin for DNS to be compelling as they all seem to be personal preferences disguised as technical reasons against it. I'm just trying to point out that all the arguments that have been made against using bitcoin for DNS are economic arguments, which means they are based on perceived gains and loses, personal preferences, etc, and are not technical in nature.

And I should qualify this:
