could this be made compatible with the IPFS DHT?

Hello,
I'm not sure about the differences between Bittorrent's DHT and IPFS DHT.

Would it be possible to make Bitmagnet index the IPFS DHT, that features data deduplication / reduces swarm fragmentation?

Thanks for all the work!

They make use of some similar algorithms but they're generally fairly different, and would require a completely separate implementation and domain model. So it's probably unlikely to happen. Here's my lazy answer: https://chat.openai.com/share/6e47c41e-c7fb-442e-88da-1e9b23aae154

The ChatGPT response is a total nonsense like often haha (differences highlighted are actually identical).

Thanks for your reply, I expected this to be complicated. From what I understand, the biggest difference is that one hash in the BT DHT corresponds to a full file or set of files; whereas in IPFS a hash can identify a folder or a piece of a larger hash (might be equivalent in Bittorrent v2).
