DNS via STEEM


Since steem provides support for arbitrary data to be attached to every account, it should be trivial for a savvy developer to port tools used by namecoin and similar projects to Steem.

Once these tools are in place, your steem account name could be used as a domain name for your own website.

I am sure whoever is the first to produce a quality set of tools to perform DNS lookups using Steem account metadata will get a flood of upvotes.

Just throwing an idea out there for those looking for money making posts!
