Hi,  
When I create a DAG object and pus some data on it, I get a hash as a result, But when I try to test that hash on `https://explore.ipld.io` it does not return anything. should I actually store it on IPFS? or DAG.put will do it for me?

Well I guess I had to use `dag.pin` to store data on ipfs but now I get `Source is too large` error. Does it means that I need to split my object to smaller chunks?
