One of the spinouts of IPFS is Multiformats, particularly multihashes. It is a standard to describe hashes and provide interop: https://multiformats.io/multihash/ https://multiformats.io/multihash/ (Or the IPNS dnslink: http://multiformats.io.ipns.localhost:8080/multihash/ http://multiformats.io.ipns.localhost:8080/multihash/ )
- zozbot234 5y agoSeems like this pointlessly duplicates the "Naming things with hashes" ni: and nih: URI schemes, standardised as https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920 . (IPFS actually uses a proprietary "package" representation as parent points out, so there's little harm in it not using ni: URI's. But standard hashes of the underlying resource should use those. "Magnet" links are similarly problematic, but these at least support a few convenience features.)
