It's dangerous to scare people away from tor on the basis that it might have vulnerabilities, because anything else is certainly worse.
- mirimir 8y agoYeah, that's another key point. What is the alternative?
- ionised 8y agoI2P maybe?
- mirimir 8y agoIt's still too small.
- apeace 8y agoTor has less than 7k relays[1]. Last time I checked[2], I2P had over 20k. I2P has far fewer users, but every user is a router by default. Tor users have to opt-in to be a relay.

- mirimir 8y agoMaybe I ought to take another look at I2P. One thing that I don't like about it is how every user is a router. And every router is typically discoverable by every other router. That makes users stand out a lot more than Tor users do. Basically as much as Tor relays do. And then there's the scarcity of clearnet exits. And indeed, discrimination against them as bandwidth stealers.
