    There is i2pd written in C++, it’s slow because of lack of participants and level of encryption and layers i2p offers in order to provide total anonymity. Old doesn’t mean bad, it’s improving, the older better. It’s still actively maintained and tried.

      I have no doubt that it’s well maintained and well tested, but how does this provide benefit to an every day intenet user.

      The setup for i2p is virtually impossible for 98% of internet users. How do we apply i2p benefits to the 98%. This is the rewrite that must be done. The code is solid and works yes, but it’s the social application that needs to be rethought.

      The absolute greatest people you can target with i2p are torrenters as it proves the MOST benefits to them immediately and you generally don’t even see any of them adopting i2p. This is the problem that needs to be thought through.

        Fantastic comments, thank you. Exactly, if a system is going to help turn things around, it needs to be ridiculously easy to use.
