#83Wow, this is just awesome! The app is really polished for an early beta release, especially that hidden markdown feature. Just three things that come to my mind: 1. how long does it take to propagate updates? 2. what is the traffic consumption on mobile? 3. what about statusbar notifications?
Once you've bootstrapped/integrated with the network, it takes a minute or two for a new update to reach you in my testing. The initial time to bootstrap onto the network is around five minutes. The traffic consumption is pretty high, because it becomes a full peer on the I2P network. Over a month I would expect it to consume around 1GB or more. If this becomes an issue for people, I may add the ability to be a non-c…
Definitely agree with the option to become non-contributing, or at least introduce some limiting - it's a struggle to get a data cap of higher than 500MB here.
Speed doesn't seem too bad, even on 2 year old hardware.
Is there an (easy) method for transferring your key to another device, and conversely if there is such a way, is there anything to protect the file if someone was to get access to the device storage?

Exactly, I've been both wanting to learn Clojure and develop for Android (but no Java thanks) for a while. So here's mine http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=dtvjjjuk7eai42xx...

>but it will pay big dividends later if I need to rewrite parts of the I2P backend. I'm all for clojure, open source, innovation and forking. But i urge you to stay part of i2p and not create incompatible releases. Maintaining your private branch will result in a lot of extra work, and I'm 100% sure that this will result unfixed security holes. The i2p project on the other hand would probably gladly accept your java…
Understood; I actually was moreso referring to rewriting I2PSnark, not I2P itself. The BitTorrent codebase is pretty old and I know I can improve it if I had time. I agree that touching the core/router code itself is dicey, but keep in mind the I2P developers themselves have encouraged people to make alternative implementations. I don't plan on that right now, though.
I think the I2P community would be thrilled about I2PSnark patches. I2PSnark is in active development currently, as the I2P update mechanism is being moved into I2PSnark.

#87OT: One thing I don't yet understand is why security-critical software is usually written in C instead of a language like SML.

Yep I already added data export. Just click your profile and there is a button called "Export..." which will ask for a password and create an encrypted zip file.

#89Does this have a particularly adverse effect on phone battery life, when compared to a well-written app for a centralized social network (aka, not the Facebook Android app; perhaps the G+ app)? I can imagine that a lot of uploading of social network content to your peers would take place. Also, what is the bandwidth utilization like compared to an app for a centralized network? With a lot of us on tiered data plans n…
I ran the app for most of this morning on my Nexus 4, after adding most of the links in this HN post as favorites. Between 9 and 11 my battery lost 40% of its charge. Ordinary usage tends to yield 14 to 17 hours of battery life from a charge. This kind of impact on battery life will be a deal breaker for most people until resolved.
