• Platform:

  Darwin 21.6.0 arm64 & latest chrome

• Subsystem:

  libp2p?

Severity:

Critical

Description:

I generated an Ed25519 PeerId (either using createFromPrivKey or createEd25519PeerId from @libp2p/peer-id-factory [^1.0.20]), called create from ipfs-core, passing the peerId to init.privateKey with init.algorithm set to Ed25519 and passing the peerId to libp2p.peerId. When connecting to a node process via swarm, I see encryption errors. ('ERR_ENCRYPTION_FAILED' from @chainsafe/libp2p-noise) With the same setup but a default peerId, I do not see errors and the peers are connecting without issue.

Steps to reproduce the error:

See description.

Hello @aewing,

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can learn more about this deprecation and the corresponding migration guide here.

As a result, we are going to close this issue. If you think we have done this in error, please feel to reopen with any comments in the next week as we will circle back on the reopened issues.

We hope you will consider Helia for your IPFS in JS needs. If you believe this particular request belongs in Helia, feel free to open a Helia issue. We look forward to engaging with you more there.

Thanks, @ipfs/helia-dev
