tribler VS i2p.i2p

I noticed that too:

https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/%22TrustChain%22-arc...

But not much else about it. Would be interested to read more. Using torrent seeding as a form of Proof-of-Work that rewards tokens is actually an interesting use case for cryptocurrency, and not as energy-hungry.

> Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.

> We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications. Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption.

I first thought "Is Justin Bieber gay?" in their release was some kind of vandalism of their release, but no, they pose that question as a vehicle for how their software is attempting to solve(?) trusted tagging

Tribler is made exactly for decentralized sharing of torrents. Wikipedia describes it as an overlay network for content searching. It doesn't seem to have enough content the few times i've tried it, but it should exactly be the solution for centralized tracker/torrent sites.

There's a torrent client called tribler that is basically Tor but built for torrenting

You kid, but our research group developed Tribler which is a safer, more privacy-oriented torrenting client for BitTorrent networks. We have many Ph.Ds who literally are professional pirates :D

Wish more people would use Tribler.

Tribler does it all, and anonymously.

How to setup I2P | How to setup Tor

This appears to link to the C++ version of I2P. Not the original "Official" Java version which is more complex and has much more built-in features: https://geti2p.net

> anonymous P2P encrypted communication platform (that doesn't require anything like a phone number for creating an account)

You mean https://geti2p.net?

It is not sufficient to serve the torrent files (or magnet links) anonymously: you will leak your IP unless you also download the actual files through darknet. However, Tor project does not recommend to use Tor for that: https://support.torproject.org/#misc_misc-4.

The actual solution is torrenting through I2P: https://geti2p.net. They support it out of the box and there are a few good trackers.

I've tried it from scratch, and it does indeed work on Parrot. I used the Debian apt repo on geti2p.net website.

I recently decided to setup I2P on a Raspberry Pi, so I installed the jar file listed on the geti2p.net on Linux. When I went into the directory where the other i2p files are I couldn't find the router.config file.

https://geti2p.net is real
