The IPFS white paper is one of the first paper club read throughs I hosted. Very readable! Led me down the content addressing rabbit hole. So useful! Content that you can get from any random place and still trust. Nick’s deep dive on CIDs is a lot, but gets you all the background you need.

I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

Timely! I'm going through the various dasl.ing specs to wrap my head around them now 📈

IDs by hashing file content got me very excited back before bittorrent2 existed. Really wanted an "availability" number for every large-ish file on my hard drive, like you get in a torrent client. Didn't get around to it.
