Hi,

There are some blockchain based approaches on how to distribute keys (or
managing identity) like Blockstack(.org) with their "blockchain id".
Their current model is, that you order a normal name (like domain names)
via a bitcoin/altcoin transaction for a certain price.
I read somewhere that there is support for free namespaces but I don't
know if they use the proof of work concept too.

It's not really related, but I think a keyserver with blockchain id
support which speaks the usual protocol towards the client would be
really great.

Though it don't solves any problems with SKS, I think it's worth a mention.

Best regards,
Valentin
