…idea is technically possible & I hope someone experienced in the field could tell more about it https://github.com/oconnor663/bao , Oconnor's bao's video or documentaries on youtube are so good, worth a watch & worth a star (though they do…

…cool features like streaming verification and verifying slices of a file as I described above: https://github.com/oconnor663/bao#verifying-slices

Thanks! I've added a note about this here: https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/issues/41#issuecomment-119... . Does that sound like an accurate summary to you?

…hash of a file while you stream it rather learning whether it was valid at the end of the stream. https://github.com/oconnor663/bao . That's useful if you know the hash of a file but you don't necessarily trust the service that's storing…

…. An early BLAKE3 prototype actually didn't include the chunk counter ( https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/blob/master/docs/spec_0.9.... ), so I'm definitely sympathetic to the use cases that wish it wasn't there. However, after pu

…turned out to be too limiting. (But for a file/tree project that does use the exact BLAKE3 structure, see github.com/oconnor663/bao.)

…the structure of the tree, so the decoder knows how many parent nodes to expect. For more details: https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/blob/master/docs/spec.md This is my first time looking at the Dat protocol. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you squint at it, there's also a Python implementation here: https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/blob/master/tests/bao.py . But it's far too slow to use it for anything besides testing.
