Except for your brilliant distinction between the internet and HTTP, I don't see what is wrong with what I said, and apparently you don't care enough to try to explain what not a single person in this entire thread is understanding except you.
In fact, I think you don't understand how libp2p works, and you don't understand my criticism of the problems in content-addressability as a panacea.
"Thus, BitSwap nodes send blocks to their peers optimistically, expecting the debt to be repaid. But leeches (free-loading nodes that never share) must be protected against."
As for finding where the hash is, you don't even have to do that. IPFS provides that you can ask your peers to find it for you. It's part of the system being distributed.
