> Putting aside all the issues with DANE as a replacement to HTTPS

The issues with DANE no longer exist when the blockchain serves as the root of trust, thus completing a chain of trust in a way that a third party certificate authority is unneeded. It's DANE without the potential for backdoor.

I agree there is a lot to do still, but the adoption Handshake has is more than significant in the context of alternate roots given it's adopted by so many DNS registrars and natively integrated into large userbase services and software. But no, it's not in Chrome... yet.
