I fully support this venture with I2P, since the infrastructure is pretty much already there.

I'm not an experienced programmer, more tinkering than anything, but I suggest that you pass these messages onto some of the I2P devs on Twitter (@i2p, @echelon and @str4d would be able to help you the best with this).

I'm actually trying to bundle I2P with a portable version of Seamonkey with less than exciting results. I was also hoping that there would be some open source equivalent to Bittorrent Surf available to bundle too, however the only plugin that's similar apparently uses a proprietary network.



We have operational code which combines Tor with Bittorrent. Operates exactly as you describe in this delightful read. Current download speed is 23Mbit/sec for a 3-hop Tor onion circuit on average laptop. We're in contact with the real Tor people.

https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloadin... Thumbnail navigation is also included in this client. All going into next code release.


That's great news! From what I saw, it seems like you implement onion routing separately from the Tor network, right? Do you have plans to integrate this into the official network as a way to incentivize relays too?


I2P still preserves anonimity with its connections, the same cannot be said about using Tor in this client-relay fashion.

I would still recommend I2P for a project like this, anonimity is the key goal here.


I don't know, Tor has more people and organisations developing it, if I had to trust one, Tor would be more likely the result.
