Related to #110, we should strive to support all of the different content address formats:

There is no reason we can't resolve these hashes and even generate them in our UI.

Unfortunately, supporting the addresses used by BitTorrent, Camlistore and IPFS (https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/1953) is nearly impossible, because each one generates its own unique hashes, which cannot even always be consistently derived without outside data.
