A comment on Handshake – Decentralized naming and certificate authority.

This is the only rare valid use case and need for a blockchain given the seizure of TLDs like what happened to .org [0] recently.

It's very interesting to see Namecheap, Gateway.io, Encirca, etc use it and its very surprising to see some ICANN TLDs being claimed on Handshake.

I agree.

I'm not very convinced about the upside-downside ratio of this implementation though

But it has the merit of being a blockchain use that isn't complete non-sense.

What do you mean by upside-down ratio?
