Consider using the last N digits instead of the first N for sharding.

With the way Cid's are structured the last bits are for more random with the first, although it may be unconventional, it will make more sense to using the last N digits instead of the first.

The other alternative is to do something dynamic which will be for more involved.

We're opting to use the last few characters for now, and moving towards a dynamic solution in the future. I think this can be closed now

Wait, so does this mean that now the repo will have to be migrated to use the last bits?
