This is idiocy. I know it's a knee jerk reaction to ZOMG-PORN-IN-THE-BLOCKCHAIN!!1!, but c'mon. We can use such steganography all over the net.

Do we have to show proof-of-concept by putting porn into the DNS records? How about imgur; You know all those LSBs in the pictures? Think it's hard to get google search to propagate your steganography for you [and then have Bing steal it?]

The genie is out of the bottle, I'm surprised that the bitcoin / litecoin /cryptocoin world is where a line got drawn in the sand.
