IRC and for building tunnels to servers to make content available / publishing content and projects to the network.

So much.. Torrents, anonymous communication ie; i2P Chat, email, Bote

Honestly, not much yet. I'm waiting on services from the clearnet to be accessible on I2P. Also, it's really slow so besides text and images, I can't consume videos reasonably. They'd have to load for a few minutes before being watchable.

I2P doesn't have that killer app or service yet. It needs something like PopcornTime or Napster (yeah, I'm old) that can excite the masses. People don't care about privacy or anonymity, just that stuff looks nice, is free and works fluidly; that's what I2P needs.

What would y'all consider a killer app for I2P?

This is the outproxy you want. Disable false.i2p in your config.

Create a new tunnel in http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnelmgr

Set it to start on load. Set the port to 4444.

Set your outproxies to "purokishi.i2p".

As for the encryption type? You can leave it at "Both", but this outproxy only uses ECIES. Either will work.

Save the config. Make sure to disable the default outproxy, false.i2p and then start the new one. You will have a much faster time browsing the clearnet via i2p.

Killer app? Hard to say. There are many fun things to do here. In my limited spare time I write software that tests eepsites to check what can be found. I wrote it a while back as it was difficult to find working sites. Frustrated with this, a solution! http://notbob.i2p

It's not a killer site by any means. But, it lets you find content on the i2p network with ease. It only lists sites that work.

I found "What do you use i2p for?" in Kelvinchan. There posts are interesting.

As the last resort I bootstrap tor via i2p. I also reseed i2p using tor.

Proof that chans can be used for serious discussion. I approve.
