I am confident that if DNSChain is such an obviously good solution, it will be evangelized by at least one person who doesn't complain about being downvoted, or claim that people clearly don't want security.
Are you Tao Effect? I've seen you on messaging@moderncrypto, and you have trouble staying on topic. I'd have been more inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt if you were some second person in the world who thought DNSChain was a good idea, but I've only ever seen one person evangelize this concept (in email, on the website, and now in HN comments). As general advice, if you try a bit harder to respect the conventions of the fora you use to evangelize things, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable you think the conventions are, you're likely to win more hearts and minds.
And you do want to win hearts and minds, don't you? Either you want this problem to be solved (and you have the perfect solution, if only people would listen), or you don't.
When you run out of legitimate arguments resort to personal attacks, got it.
The number of people on Earth who've spent the time studying Certificate Transparency in depth could probably be counted on two hands. You and I are two of them. That leaves ~8 other people (who are probably not reading these threads) to comment.
I'm grateful to everyone who's taken the time to support DNSChain, Namecoin, and related projects by writing about them, podcasting, tweeting, blogging, contributing code, etc.
I think that it's important that we find a solution to the CA problem. That's why I'm engaging you as earnestly as I can about CT and DNSChain in another subthread. (And please call me out if you think I'm being less than earnest or unnecessarily dismissive.) If CT is in fact flawed the way that you're saying, then it's important for not only me to understand that, but for everyone to understand that. If DNSChain is in fact a good solution, or even close to a good solution, it deserves the enthusiastic attention of way more than 10 people.
Therefore it's important to me that you not get downvoted. So I'm trying to help you get listened to, by telling you why I find myself wanting to reach for the downvote button—but the things you say are important enough that they deserve being engaged with, even if the manner in which you say it is frustrating.

Well, I appreciate that, thanks. I also appreciate that you decided to engage in actual honest discussion.
Perhaps the downvotes are because it bores them? I guess it shouldn't matter to you that you get downvoted, either.
