Not a network person by any means, but I think that this points out to what I think is the fatal flaw of IPFS: the apparent "one-wayness" of addresses to content.

Yes, I know that is supposed to be its main feature, but (again, naïvely speaking) it seems to induce a huge, possibly even intractable overhead... Think of, say, programming in C without being allowed to ever rewrite memory contents, or change what a pointer points to!

Again, not an expert; and I'm sure with all the money they raised, people with actual technical expertise in network protocols are hard at work on this and can vouch for the design... But I'm curious anyway how this is not an obvious dealbrealer, given the extreme latency requirements in networking..
