I wanted to capture this issue, as I consider this a low-priority issue. So instead I wanted to capture it, so that I or someone can work on it down the road.

When gatsby-ipfs-web-wallet loads, it tries to retrieve the IPFS hash of the IPFS version of the website. This helps with censorship, as it allows people to retrieve the website over IPFS if the website is blocked, censored, or just down.

However, in order to retrieve that IPFS hash from the blockchain, it must first initialize the wallet. In the case of the ABC wallet, it initialized the wallet on the ABC chain. However, the IPFS hash is stored on the BCH chain. So the web wallet can't 'see' the transactions that contain the IPFS hash.

The source of the issue stems from src/services/memo-hash.js. The solution would be to initialize the minimal-slp-wallet for the BCH network, just in this file, so that it can successfully retrieve the IPFS hash on the BCH chain.
