Put the name on the blockchain to locate the originating IP address.  The server at that IP would be queried for supporting protocols (http, etc.)


How would that be more useful than the current, distributed DNS? We outgrew hosts files 30+ years ago.

Yes, but this would be on BTC's blockchain.

Also... this is more than http.  It's data.  You could register a database.

Perhaps the blockchain data could be formatted:
DNS://yourdomainname
