Question

You mention on you faq that you were working on adding to the protocol the use of a mix network system (like I2P or Tor) to mitigate IP address leakage.

How is this work going?

(also, - i'm no expert! - but since you have not talked about tracking thru MAC address - in some way - i suppose that is not a problem in wesh...)

Context

It's a general question about the design

@D4ryl00 , what do you think about this question?

Hi @maverick74 , we started a Tor integration into Wesh, but we faced some issues with the C lib implementation of Tor. So we decided to remove it until we have more resources to work on it again. Today, we want to stabilize the protocol and fix bugs before starting to develop new features. Thanks!

Keep this open to track this important issue. Put in the backlog until we have time to work on it.

@D4ryl00 is Tor preferable (better when compared) to I2P?
