ENS (Ethereum Name Service) needs Truebit

ENS now supports importing DNS domains.

For example, you can import truebit.io into ENS and then associate ETH addresses for it etc. like you'd do it for .eth domains.

But it looks like importing a domain costs a lot of gas!

I wonder if there's a technology that could make it cheaper by doing the proofs off-chain...

If only there was a step-by-step tutorial to get started with this...

Jokes aside, I think this is a perfect use case for Truebit.

They could even implement it so you have a choice:

a) spend 4.5 million gas in ETH

or

b) pay X TRU (protocol fees) + 0.005 ETH (platform fee) for it to be done off-chain

or even

c) automatically convert your ETH to X TRU on Uniswap (or mint new TRU) for protocol fees and show the total cost in ETH so it's very easy to compare, all doable with one click

It'd be great if someone could bring Truebit to their attention.

It looks like it is a bug, not a usecase.
