    Since you seem to have done a fair bit of research in this area, do you have any opinions or thoughts about the Multihash format?

    https://multiformats.io/multihash/

    It fills in some of the blanks in your "prefixing the hash with the value of the enum for the hash" step.

  • 🎉 accumulate_api v0.3.0 released
    2 projects | /r/dartlang | 19 Apr 2023
    This library supports latest Accumulate API v3 features with multibase and multihash addresses, and adds many corrections to the usability and structure of the library. Overall it's different from other clients that are generated from the Go codebase, and developed for developers with canonical Dart approaches.

    > IPFS now uses base58btc exclusively

    That's blatantly wrong. IPFS supports 25 different base representations (https://github.com/multiformats/multibase/blob/master/multib...).

    In fact, recently, two community members decided to implement a new base encoding with emojis for fun:

    https://cid.ipfs.tech/#%F0%9F%9A%80%F0%9F%AA%90%E2%AD%90%F0%...

    https://github.com/multiformats/multihash supports at the very least SHA1 SHA2-256 SHA2-512 SHA3/Keccak Blake2b-256/Blake2b-512/Blake2s-128/Blake2s-256 Blake3 and Strobe. Hashes in IPFS are being standardised through the IETF and W3C https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-multiformats-multihash-05.html.

    If you need rhash, you are welcome to submit a PR! We also have a grants program you can use to be rewarded for this.

    It's a more robust, well-specified, interoperable version of this concept.

    Though it's probably overkill if you control both the consumer and producer side (i.e. don't need the interoperability) and are just looking to make hash upgrades smoother, in that case a simple version prefix like Go's approach described above has lower overhead.

    Previously, a PeerId was internally represented as a multihash, a scheme to specify different hashes with their respective hashing methods. These hashes were then encoded in base58btc.
