@ikreymer too complex. You'd simply: `ipfs files concat yourfile:0:20 yourfile:21:40 yourfile:41:`
64bytes is most definitely a non-starter, as it already won't fit the prefix/varinting of a 512bit hash. More generally: any data that you know won't ever be repeated is a...
@vmx 2MiB-1 is a libp2p limit - it permeates everything ( but you are correct: multihash in isolation is limited by uvarint alone ) It is generally correct that inlining...

@ianopolous so to make sure I understood you right: basically your use case is point 3 here: https://github.com/multiformats/multihash/issues/130#issuecomment-656009845 ? Your "bonus" of using inlined CIDs is the ability to not...
