Tor sucks been thinking about saying fuck it and switching to clear net!
What about i2p? My node does not find any connections on i2p but I will keep running it there

Eclipse attacks: now extra eclipsey
reply
If you run both Tor and I2P at the same time, it's harder to do eclipse attacks against you.
Also, addnode= with your friends or other parties you trust, can be useful.

Haven’t tried i2p yet is it fast?
reply
Browsing is way faster than tor and I encounter less captchas.
You just need to run your node for some time at the beginning for discovery reasons.
But I only use I2P to visit one specific eepsite. So don't know how the rest of the network behaves.
reply
And why not keep running it on tor? You can be on every network. Clearnet, Tor, I2P. I don't see any drawbacks.
And what specifically sucks for you about Tor?
reply
It’s painfully slow. And can’t route as fast as a ln routing node
reply
Latency is issue for LN routing nodes, but not for Bitcoin node (Bitcoin Core), where some seconds more or less for unconfirmed tx or mined block to arrive to your node doesn't matter much if you aren't miner.

This is the problem I complain about very frequently these days. When I say run a node, people think it has something to do with the lightning network....it does not.
