Description
The QmId part is actually just a bare base58 encoded multihash (for now). It's a direct hash of the peer's public key.

Research direction
Start by locating the IPFS multiaddr parsing and formatting entry points in the Java implementation; the issue names the QmId, base58-encoded multihash, and peer public-key hash. Read the surrounding address representation and tests, if present, to determine where CID handling is assumed. Done means IPFS addrs use the described multihash representation rather than CIDs.
