The goal is to publish things 1) anonymously, 2) without being censored.
If you publish via tor and never fuck up and connect outside of tor, you're anonymous.
If you publish to a lot of relays, it's almost impossible to remove.
What youre saying is tor is less secure than i2p. Maybe. But if you don't have to store your blog on a server you rent or that's in your garage, you're way less likely to be eventually identified. There's no overhead to keeping your messages available, and you don't have to remain connected to the internet for them to be available. It is significantly more robust than hosting a server behind i2p.
- fsflover 2y agoDepending on the size and popularity of your data, you could also use torrents on i2p. AFAIK distributed storage solutions also exist there. Alternatively, Freenet could help, too.
- big-green-man 2y agoTorrents require seeding in perpetuity. One screw up and your IP is known by every peer.
- fsflover 2y agoThere are no ip addresses in i2p.
- big-green-man 2y agoTo torrent you need an IP. You have to exit the i2p network via an exit node. You're seeding, and if somehow you continue seeding and get disconnected from i2p, everyone will see your IP address.
- fsflover 2y agoThis is not true. I2PSnark BitTorrent client never makes a connection to a peer over any other network, as written in the official docs: https://geti2p.net/en/about/software https://geti2p.net/en/about/software. In other words, I2P has its own torrent servers and network, which never reveals any ip addresses.
