Saw a great write-up on lemmy about #i2p being the real stealth net since it allows for a wider variety of use cases and doesnt connect to the clearnet by default
Well, every single time i try i2p hidden services i find them to be even slower than #tor hidden services. An example, it took me 31 minutes to sync 51MB for my #Monero wallet. A tor hs would have had that done several times over in that span. I2p really needs a drastic speed boost. If you think tor hidden services are slow, try an I2P 1 and come back and talk.
I promise you, by comparison tor hs are a fucking rocket
