Besides the panic about the normal cat and mouse game Law Enforcement has always played, there are some more important things to talk, inform and think about.
- What is it?
- Do we want it (or even need)?
- How do we implement it?
Anything I know is that OpenBazaar2.0 is for decentralized servers and I2P is for a better darknet.
Am I right?
The Grand Wizard has tried i2p several times and has never been able to get the damned thing working right. We suppose that we could figure it out if we dedicated a few days to mastering the ins and outs. But we have serious doubts that most of our loyal customers would make the effort.
We remember The MarketPlace (TMP) well: it was a state-of-the-art DNM on i2p which used only multisig transactions. For 2013-14 it was well ahead of its time -- too well ahead of its time. Schultz, the main support staff guy, spoke a combination of German, English and Assembler: his efforts to educate users on how to set up the i2p bundle and sign multisignature transactions were painful to read if you didn't have a graduate degree in Computer Science. The great lesson the Grand Wizard took away from TMP's fall was this: it doesn't matter how secure your market is if users can't access it. And until i2p is as easy to set up as the TBB we don't see an i2p Darknet taking off.
