Tor is an implementation of i2p. Basically it’s a new protocol that obfuscates everything end to end.
On public trackers you’d be fine since it’s public and ip doesn’t matter. But on private trackers, they usually need your ip to track your activity on the tracker, but with i2p it would be nigh impossible to do so.
I’ve thought about this and wouldn’t it be way more private (and realistically secure given changing IPS) to just use a cryptographical key each login? Like everywhere else on the web?
Tor is not a implementation of I2P. They are 2 different technologies with different usecases.
Tor ussage nodes and hops to obfuscate trafics origin while I2P obfuscates the entire network layer. With I2P every nodes IP is know to every node. Wile this is not the case for tor. Thirth hop doesnt know the IP of the first hop.
Also tor is heavily used to access the clearnet while I2P is not designed with clearnet in mind.
You still got it half wrong. I2P hops don’t know each other. The big difference is I2P tries to make every user a relay while only Tor relays are relays. Hence Tor torrenting is not recommended because it overloads the limited relays, I2P torrenting is fine because you expand the pool of relays at the same time. I2P doesn’t really have exit nodes, too, so it’s a separate network from the internet.
I never said the hops are know on I2P. All the nodes are though because it is a P2P network. Perhaps some bad wording on my part. But yeah your are right

I really hope everyday piracy goes to I2P. Screw these people
With qbittorrent supporting i2p, I think we will soon be there. The main hurdle is private trackers who rely on IP info.
The day rutracker and nyaa move is when I’ll truly feel at home pirating on i2p
Plz can explain. Dumb user of 1337x 😢😔
(which didn’t work when traveling Europa…)
if it did work, you’d have a thousand euro fine, so be glad it didn’t
Well it worked on the third try/itiration. 1337x.cs I think

The problem isn’t about logins but tracking the network traffic.
Yeah you’d need to dynamically track login/IP association, but that wouldn’t be particularly hard either
Yeah but private trackers need to adopt this
Most public trackers do this. Schizo’s information is far outdated.
