IPFS based rewards history #30

Problems

We need a way to post distribution data for users to audit
We need a way for users to see past distributions
We eventually will want to show some of this in UI

Potential decentralized solution

Using IPFS we maintain an index of past distributions that are also persisted to ipfs. For example:

Index

{
   epochs : [ 
      ipfsHash#0
      ipfsHash#1
      ipfsHash#2
   ]
}

Epoch

{
  startBlock: 0
  endBlock: 100
  totalRuneDistributed: 1 billion rune
  distributions:  { "ethAddress" : { runeAmount, txId} ... } } 
}

front end could pull this information down and use it to show historic information to user. For early days, the amount of data shouldn't be crazy.
Script could easily upload this information and publish the new index upon completion, a one line PR updates the web interface to show the new distribution information
no api needed for now

Costs

Qs

any real benefit to this being decentralized and publicly available?
we should post the index hash to the smart contract on EVM chain
why not just go with centralized db and api
