Yeah, I'm all for consolidating efforts. I'll be looking into NDN more. Though there's only so many minutes in a day-- if you can help me figure out who's great there to talk to, drop me a line [email protected] (other than Van Jacobson, ofc. will go talk to him at some point.)

On OTs: yep! you can implement OTs on a merkle dag trivially, so you can build files from OTs. So! apps can use OTs as first class data structures and store directly onto IPFS.
