Yes, I agree with you on the part that it is not the most efficient network protocol, but you're overlooking the fact that blockchain is almost impossible to take down and is censorship-free. Even if they manage to locate the C&C; they simply couldn't shut it down, since BC is decentralised and a distributed database.

There's also the disadvantage of having every communication between the malware and the controller publicly logged, and the fact that that every command issued would have a small transaction free.
