Reply to SimpleX Chat by revisionista

Best really is a question of what you want from a chat application. There is no best, just the best option for a particular user. For some, reliance on 3rd party servers to relay messages between participants is a point of weakness, not strength.

If you want a chat client designed natively for I2P that routes messages directly between users without the need for an intermediate server, I2PChat may be worth a look.

Reply to Finding a new secure handle by edgelord420

Here's an idea. Use an LLM, provide some general (fictional) details for the type of character you'd like to name, see what it churns out, and then pick one.

Here's an example response for the prompt "Please provide 20 imaginary aliases (nicknames) for a character that is interested in cryptography, anonymity and Mongolian culture."

 Cipher Khan  Silent Steppe  The Nomad Cipher  Ghost of Genghis  Code Rider  Veiled Steppes  Mongrel (Mongolia + Cipher)  Shadow Hoard  The Enigma Nomad  White Horse Code  Masked Mara  Sky Whisperer  Crypto Eagle  Stealth Kurgan  The Hidden Horde  Tengri Key  Cloak and Steppe  GenghiCrypt  Nomad Lock  Windborne Cipher

Reply to How to access .onion sites from I2P? by invertedlurker

If you disabled the default configured outproxy in your HTTP Proxy Client tunnel, you won't be able to access clearnet or .onion sites. In your HTTP Proxy tunnel, restore the purokishi.i2p outproxy for HTTP and HTTPS if you wish to access .onion sites over .i2p. You can configure multiple outproxies if you want some random variation, e.g. purokishi.i2p,exit.stormycloud.i2p,outproxy.acetone.i2p.

Reply to I2PSnark torrents "Visible" by z3w

If you read the column heading again, you'll notice that the visibility relates to ownership of the torrents, not your IP address. In other words, your login name will appear next to the torrents you have uploaded. There is an option to hide your username if that's desirable, but otherwise, nothing is visible to other users.

Reply to Methods for creating torrents to seed? by Oaloo

Any I2P-capable torrent client should be able to create torrents. If you're running i2pd, try I2PSnark Standalone, either the + or "vanilla" version. If you're running a Java-based I2P, you'll already have I2PSnark available.
