This would be a big step forward for Tor, nobody likes typing in long fingerprints as addresses 
And btw: There was already an attempt to replace Tor’s onion addresses with OnioNS.

I really wish this integration to happen. That would be a breakthrough for both Tor project and Blockstack!

I am slowly but surely unraveling the deep mysteries of Tor’s control port protocol to get it to delegate name resolution to Blockstack. By that, I mean I’m hacking on https://github.com/Jesse-V/OnioNS-client/tree/json-rpc

Btw, i2p is a direct candidate as well. Their system lacks the decentralized dns just as much as tor’s.
