Beschreibung
IPFS currently provides peering functionality seen here: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/config.md#peeringpeers
This feature is a great first step towards things but a big problem still exists in that the node needs to be reset each time a new peer is added to this list.
As a a Peerlist gets larger and larger, the amount of nodes that need to be reset each time a new peer gets added becomes larger and larger. For production environments this isn't acceptable and is why we have yet to fully utilize this functionality within Pinata.
It would be super helpful if there was a way to add / remove peers to this list via a simple API command instead of having to actively update the ipfs config file / resetting the node.
