Curious if IPFS file hash is compatible with this list?
- atilimcetin 5y agoMost probably no. Instead of calculating the hash of whole file, IPFS chunks a file, calculates the hash of each chunk and turns them into a DAG of hashes (Merkle DAG). Also because there are multiple ways to construct the Merkle DAG, it's possible that same file can have different hashes.
