I ran a i2p router for year, mostly because I didn't mind. This is a kind of a hen-egg-problem, I guess. There is not any content in i2p I'm aware off besides a torrent site. And I probably don't want to know what the content is I'm not aware of. While I think this is in theory much cooler than tor, it's a way less practical, i guess.

Thanks for contributing to I2P! Do you have any thoughts on HORNET? Could I2P benefit from a more stateless routing mechanism as opposed to tunnels in the far future? Are any of the devs going to defcon this year? I tried to get a small meetup going last year in the privacy village but no turnout, would love to make something official. I'm working on Go implementation here: https://github.com/hkparker/go-i2p . Haven'…
Nice, I would love to contribute!
I2P developer here, feel free to ask me any questions.
Pardon my naivete concerning I2P. Every node is a "router" right and therefore any node can be part of any "tunnel", correct? Does anything incentivize them to equitably share bandwidth, or is it like bittorrent where many rely on people's fairness?
So sharing more bandwidth leads to you knowing more nodes, which means you'll have better tunnels. So there is an incentive for you to share more.

What are the best ways to obscure I2P use from ISPs and other network observers? Is it workable to use commercial VPNs with port forwarding? Also, how workable is nesting I2P in Tor, and vice versa ? For example, can I2P nodes be Tor onion services? At one point, the JonDo client had a Tor SOCKS5 proxy option. Is that possible with I2P?
I can't tell you a lot about obscuring I2P usage, personally I typically get a cheap VPS somewhere and do ssh/autossh port forwarding to it, but not for privacy reasons.

Running I2P inside Tor or vice versa is common idea. I can't tell you if it is practically possible, but technically it is. However a setup like that does suffer from diminishing returns in terms of security and performance.
There is an I2P plugin called Orchid[1] that adds Tor outproxying to the regular internet to I2P.

zzz is our BDFL. If you really would like to know, come meet the I2P folks at 33C3 or potentially HOPE if you live in NA. CCC is better since I2P typically has a table there.
Will you be around for bsides lv or defcon?
Tor vs I2P? Oh boy, all we need is a cnet battle...
I2P is decentralized and Tor offers exit nodes for example.
But both projects serve to maintain the option of free speech on the internet, no matter how digitally repressive the country you happen to live in might be (US/China/Iran/Syria).

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of document management and ERP servers running on I2P. Bandwidth is decent, and you can't beat the security.
