you can only do that with IPFS keys that are aliased with IPNS which is equivalent to a BEP-46 mutable DHT key. http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html

this is an implementation detail of the DHT client. if you have enough cooperating bit torrent clients set up to seed a sparse swarm like IPFS does, you could do the same thing. which begs the question, why fork the DHT in the first place?

in addition to a DHT, you need another layer that can map key names to their hashes. ideally this is also something you can store in DHT (using ipns / mutable keys). once you have a (distributed) key-value store, you can build pretty m
