RE: STEEM DNS - Your username DOT STEEM. DNS on the Blockchain
Why is ICANN called as so? Because they can do what ever they want and ICANNOT. Dan and yourself are on the right track for bypassing our "Internet Overlords."
You have it all wrong. ICANN are volunteers selected by ISPs, in fact, they are more decentralized in a way than the founders of something like STEEM is. All the money they make go directly into funding internet projects, and anyone can apply for a grant. STEEM can just buy the .steem GTLD and then nobody needs to use custom DNS.
