The amount of misinformation in this hacker news post is amazing but is a good example of the level of misunderstanding out there. One post complains about, “I understand wanting to be about to upgrade hash sha1, sha256 etc but it produces different CID’s I would have thought they’d figure that out by now” so they want different hash algorithms to produce the same hash.
