I do not use I2P's domain name system at all. Everything is just fully-qualified base32 hostnames underneath.

That does not make it inherently uncensorable. China can still look at your traffic, go 'this is nightweb traffic' (or even just bittorrent traffic, I doubt they care about that), and block the communication. Bam, censored.

First, all they see is that is I2P traffic(or rather they see it's encrypted, as the protocol has no magic bytes anymore afair). And secondly they haven't done much work in regard to blocking UDP afaik, so unless that has changed, they can't really censor I2P once you got it up and running.

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?

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.

Does this allow for two devices to be "logged in" to the same profile, or will one become the primary while the other can't assume control at all?

Lein-droid author here. A few commenters asked about the performance and maturity of Clojure for Android, so I decided to answer in the top level.

The main problem of Clojure for Android right now is the large size of Clojure runtime. This leads to two issues: a) long loading time (can take a few seconds even for the basic app), b) applications often gets closed by the OS once switched to another, in order to free that memory.

Since ProGuard is no help in optimizing Clojure-compiled code, the issues should be addressed in some other way. One that is possible is to write source-shaking compiler that will strip the final APK of the unused functions. It's pretty hard to do with the current compiler, but if we eventually write Clojure-in-Clojure compiler (there is a proposal for this year's GSoC by the way), it may be feasible to add these optimizations to it.

And finally a shameless plug: if you are interested in trying Clojure for Android, here are the links to get you started: https://github.com/alexander-yakushev/lein-droid https://github.com/alexander-yakushev/neko

I have been waiting for this. Here's my Nightweb link for anyone interested in experimenting with me: http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=5avfzwgkdzgddsv3... gw: It would be great to have multiple personas available to me, like an inverse of google+ circles.

http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=fcx2ahb4vuobu7ej... That's mine ... awww feels like the beginnings of ICQ ;) But ... we can hack on it ... finally a good reason to learn Clojure.

Nice! But i have another problem, I upload a picture and this turned one left.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean.

Hmm, wait. If I upload a picture file, this rotate 90° left. (See screenshhot) http://s14.directupload.net/images/130401/asanfblz.png You now what I mean?

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...

Here's mine, for science: http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=tnaohxmxj2eg3fsf...

Interesting, here is my link. I think this will suit my nature
