T 1405343917 <fluffypony> As you may (or may not) know, I'm one of the core team members on Monero (the cryptocurrency). We had an agreement with orion to pay him to work on i2pcpp, but he's bailed on that (and on his work with i2p in general, it seems) for various reasons.
T 1405343964 <fluffypony> so zzz and Meeh and I discussed it, and the general consensus is that between i2p, Anoncoin, and Monero, there are funds available to get you (or whoever else) to focus on i2pd development on a more full-time / consistent basis
T 1405344224 <orignal> what do you want i2pd for?
T 1405344250 <fluffypony> https://geti2p.net/en/blog/post/2014/05/25/Monero-partnership
T 1405344317 <orignal> but you have i2pcpp already. orion is not only guy there
T 1405344336 <fluffypony> yes, EinMByte can possibly pick up the pieces
T 1405344353 <fluffypony> but as I mentioned, the general consensus is that i2pd is at a more mature stage of development
T 1405344366 <fluffypony> and is better suited
T 1405344396 <orignal> so what do you want from me?
T 1405344444 <fluffypony> we want to pay for the time you spend on i2pd with a view to you spending more time (if possible) than you can currently
T 1405344467 <orignal> that's the problem
T 1405344499 <orignal> I have the full time job
T 1405344562 <fluffypony> would you be interested in us matching your current salary so you could leave your job and work on i2pd full time?
T 1405344661 <orignal> I would, but not right at this moment
T 1405344669 <fluffypony> understandable
T 1405344890 <orignal> however what I can say I'm going to spend time for i2pd anyway
T 1405345260 <orignal> in general what would you expect from i2pd?
T 1405345319 <fluffypony> well, the ultimate goal is for the Monero daemon (and later on the GUI) to work in one of three modes: i2p only, i2p + tcp bridge, tcp only
T 1405345330 <fluffypony> but we don't want to add Java as a dependency
T 1405345461 <orignal> what's the goal of Monero?
T 1405345484 <fluffypony> to be the de facto secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency
T 1405345864 <orignal> I meant scope of work. protocols, communications, etc.
T 1405345881 <fluffypony> TCP only
T 1405345918 <orignal> e.g. streaming
T 1405346044 <fluffypony> afaik nodes maintain a persistent connection to 12 peers, and drop a bad connection when they think a node is bad (eg. trying to submit bad blocks or already mined transactions) and replace it with a fresh connection
...........
T 1409237191 <orignal> hi, how is Monero through I2P going along?
T 1409237221 <fluffypony> we haven't started it yet - I wanted to wait till you got to a point where you felt i2pd was mature enough for us to begin
T 1409237272 <orignal> I think I'm pretty close to it. That's why want to start talking to you about it
T 1409237325 <fluffypony> basically we'd like to bake i2pd in rather than have it running separately
T 1409237334 <fluffypony> nodes will be able to operate in one of 3 modes
T 1409237339 <fluffypony> 1. normal TCP only
T 1409237343 <fluffypony> 2. i2p only
T 1409237348 <fluffypony> 3. TCP / i2p bridged
T 1409237355 <fluffypony> I expect we'll make 3 the default
T 1409237359 <orignal> so you want embedded I2P?
T 1409237397 <orignal> what do you have now? TCP only?
T 1409237401 <fluffypony> yes
.................
T 1409238046 <orignal> seems I have fixed most of bugs of i2pd
T 1409238056 <orignal> good uptime and no more disconnects
T 1409238072 <fluffypony> nice
T 1409238098 <orignal> there are few minor changes in background
T 1409238121 <orignal> but I feel I'm ready to start doing something more useful than IRC
T 1409238159 <fluffypony> well if you want to tackle the Monero stuff you're most welcome to - we don't have a lot of funds, but we'll gladly send some of the donations your way
