Background
Since this code was written in 2019, the ipfs ecosystem has moved to using base36 Cidv1 as the default for the libp2p-key multihashes used for public peer ids and ipns public keys (see RFC0001).
Changes
Brings us up to speed with the latest defaults in Kubo's Key API.
libp2p-key(0x72) was added.go-base36used by Boxo and Kubo.IKey.Idis now a Cid instead of a MultiHash, allowing support for both Cidv0 and Cidv1. Using MultiHash here would force dropping essential Cidv1 information, and only supports implicitly base58btc encoded Cidv0.
