Clarify how log addresses can change #41

Closed sanderpick closed 4 years ago

From @Gozala

❓Is it possible to update addresses ? I suppose yes, although paper is vague about it & I suspect many will assume no.

Log addresses can change from the owner, and these changes are advertised to peers 'out of band' via direct p2p communication. The receiving peers would then update their local thread store to reflect the new peer addrs (via their AddrBook).

Is this no longer true @sanderpick:

Unlike peer multiaddresses, Log addresses are not stored in the global IPFS DHT. Instead, they are collected from Log Events.

They are still not stored in the DHT, but they are also not materialized from log events! Addresses are exchanged with the push/pull API.
