Reply to I2P+ VPS bandwidth usage by Rambler

Obviously, resource use will vary depending on how you have your router configured. Stock I2P won't require near as much bandwidth as an optimized / tweaked I2P+ configuration will.

If you're setting up a remote router, such as one on a VPS, make sure your provider is cool with it first. If they allow Tor relays, chances are they'll be more than fine with I2P, just send them a message.

Both routers above are just VPSes with 1GB of RAM and fair-share to 1 CPU core each and they operate fine. Could push more traffic with more resources (RAM/CPU) but I'm content with things as they are now.

Reply to Questions about GOSTcoin by bolaris

The questions you've asked are the same questions I've wondered myself.

They have a reddit community: https://old.reddit.com/r/GOSTCoin/ Two posts, both 3 years ago.

Hopefully someone will come along and give us some details, but I wouldn't be dumping my 401K into GOSTcoin anytime soon. :)

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.

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.

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?

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