>DNSChain/Blockchains already provide certificate transparency (publicly auditable log of certs issued), and they do a far better job of it than Certificate Transparency.

Better in what way?



We wrote a blog post to answer this question: https://blog.okturtles.com/2015/03/certificate-transparency-...


>The CT spec allows only one SCT to accompany a certificate, making this attack feasible

No, it doesn't. It describes the format of multi-SCT on page 16, and it explains the rationale for this (basically all of the points you brought up) on page 32.

I see the wording wasn't very clear, so I removed the word "only" to make the meaning clearer. It now reads:

"The CT spec allows one SCT to accompany a certificate, making this attack feasible"

Good catch. :)
