use IPFS DAG as transport

[pgte]

Instead of using the Y.js protocol over the IPFS pub-sub network in order to transmit changes, we should use the IPFS DAG API to do that. By doing this, we allow opaque replication to easily happen, which enables us to improve persistence characteristics of the system.

The obvious answer would be to rewrite ipfs-core to use peer-crdt. Is that what you had in mind, @pgte?

[pgte]

You mean rewrite peerpad-core to use peer-crdt? If so, yes. :)

Tracking:

Right now there are 3 issues we depend on to make this happen using peer-crdt and peer-crdt-ipfs:

• [ ] libp2p connection management v0.1
• [ ] peer-crdt fast multi-log sync
• [ ] peer-crdt snapshotting for fast bootstrap
