Perhaps things have changed. I'll re-review it in time. I previously had ramble as a snapp but I had no Oxen at the time, so someone else bought the domain (which, at the time, was more expensive than a normal .com or TLD).

Lokinet

Lokinet is the reference implementation of LLARP, the Low Latency Anonymous Routing Protocol. It improves upon existing networks like I2P and Tor in several aspects.

Lokinet has no central authority like I2P, and supports exit nodes like Tor. It is also protocol-agnostic, so unlike Tor it is not limited to TCP connections. With Lokinet it is also possible to access internally hosted services called SNApps, which are roughly equivalent to Tor's hidden services and I2P's eepsites.

However, unlike Tor or I2P, Lokinet service nodes hold a stake in the network. This creates financial incentives for running nodes, while also making the network more resilient to Sybil attacks.
