DNSChain 0.0.1 was just released and published to NPM!
You can now use NPM to install it on servers. :-)
https://npmjs.org/package/dnschain
Next up: response signing (and more!).
Cheers!

I just want to be clear on my understanding here. This provides a way to
register a .dns or .bit domain, and store your registration of that domain
in a blockchain.
Then, to guarantee authenticity, you can store a fingerprint of an SSL cert
in the blockchain, so that anyone can verify that the
1: Domains expire unless renewed.
2: Transfers are possible.
3: The security model of blockchain based systems like Namecoin is that the
primary chain had the greatest amount of proof-of-work behind it, and you
can't fake the proof-of-work. You can try to isolate a node and provide a
fake chain,

Overall I'm **super** excited about Namecoin and DNSChain, and I've been
waiting for someone to connect them through traditional DNS. This is such
valuable work, thank you for being a pioneer on this.
Thanks, btw, for your kind words, they are really appreciated. I get a lot of

1) *.dns is a meta-TLD. You cannot register meta-TLDs. You own them
already. There is therefore no need to register them. There might exist
other terms for this concept, but I wasn't aware of them.
Okay, the explanation you updated helps:

One more thought:
Let's take the case where you already have a portion of the blockchain
downloaded.
Let's say that at time A you had a complete copy of it.
At time B A, the NSA decides to not like you and encloses your DNSChain
server in a Matrix (I bet they'll even use that term).
