I can't go past setting the profile

[croqaz]

Hello, i love the idea of your app and i really want to see it work!
I have IPFS, i tried version 0.3.10, but your app needs the latest.

So i'm using 0.4-dev fresh install.
I ran ipfs init,
ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin '["http://127.0.0.1","http://localhost","http://ipfs.ydns.eu"]'
then ipfs daemon.

I can't go past the profile. I'm using Firefox browser, in Ubuntu.

The interface says " Ooops Error: multihash length inconsistent: &{24 4 [55 60 240 230 66]} ".

The command line in Firefox says:

Any ideas?

The error is here:

10:30:59.255 Profile Publish error: Error: multihash length inconsistent: &{24 4 [55 60 240 230 66]}

There's something wrong with actually publishing the profile via IPNS. The hash to publish is clearly wrongly read from the result of building the profile.

I'll look into it as soon as I have time, thanks a lot for the bug report! 👍

I tried on chrome and it seems to work. It's pretty unstable at the moment, but I already know how to fix the mess, I need some features from go-ipfs or I need to do #93 and #83

I can't get it to work on firefox because for some reason the browser won't talk to my daemon (it says the server responded with 0). Did you encounter this error too?

This is all very unstable at the moment. I guess we'll have more luck when the js implementation of IPFS arrives (it will use the same API, so no big rewrites) or wrapping the web app into a desktop app.

Still it would be nice to figure out what caused this
