Why do we need to resolve the IPNS record at all?

IIRC, because ls /ipns will list all of our own keys. However:

  1. We can probably do this lazily.
  2. We should be able to just look at our local record and avoid querying the network.

Hm. For some reason, we're trying to resolve our _local_ IPNS record on the public network. We should check to see if _we're_ publishing the address and check our local cache.

Well, this can't work - since I never published the record on the network...
