    I'll have to look more into it, but I wonder if a RPi could be used as a small ipfs server, I feel it should...

I've got it running on my Pi 2 (and my laptop) and it runs fine. I usually have to restart it every few days because of high cpu usage. Honestly right now there's not much to do with it (except say "cool!") that a normal server doesn't do much better. It's fun to play around with but for it to be really useful you'd have to either join a "web ring"-like thing with some friends where you'd all pin each others content, or have a bunch of VPSs pin your content, or be part of a bigger project which is currently using torrents.
