I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .

Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?

Why is it in Java??

3 billion devices run Java.

Hmm. What more can you tell me about these 3 billion devices? Are they in the room with us?

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it's been a long while since I've used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.

The java version is plenty fast but uses alot more memory then i2pd and needs a display/vnc to configure compared to i2pd

You can configure it on a headless machine and just forward the webui over an SSH tunnel for configiration / monitoring

IIRC it doesn't need a display, it's a Web-based UI that you can use from another computer on the network if it doesn't have a display, VNC would be overkill. Maybe they changed that.
