1.3.0 (2024/04/20)

This release has several incompatibilities with v1.2.0, therefore v1.2.0 and v1.3.0 will not be able to communicate with each other. Due to significant changes, there isn't an option to upgrade from v1.2.0 to v1.3.0, so a clean install will need to be performed.

Notes on BitTorrent over I2P feature: The introduction of BitTorrent over I2P as a post attachment method removes the reliance on 3rd party upload sites for hosting attachment data and improves the privacy and security of the transmitted data. Only torrents with I2P trackers will function. Trackers with a TLD other than i2p are prohibited and will result in an error if you try to set non-I2P trackers on the configuration page or attempt to send or receive an attachment using BitTorrent over I2P using a non-I2P tracker.

Some explanations/screen-shots would be nice. If I somehow I spent days on it and I found it less desirable than expected, you would might bite your tongue. There is a great oportunity to create the Wikipedia page for BitChan if you have that much time on your hands. To many questions to ask...

http://waycuw2c27ruakfblkf5tcegwmt3ot445dlfoypil6bzmm4yxg7a.b32.i2p/ The idea is that it will work as specified on the above site. You have the info there and maybe it does work. A Wikipedia page would be ideal. I wonder what school did the poster attend... it is too late for me.
