Monero fork with premine, governance tax, and 50% funds lockup for "market-based sybil resistance". Good luck, I'll pass.
Also, it wasn't clear from a quick look, do they utilize I2P at the networking layer or did they roll out they own custom solution like Kovri?
Loki network appears to be a ground up rewrite of I2P, with an eye to the lower latency and clear-net accessibility of Tor, with newer (presumably better) crypto than I2P. Appears to ignore the fundamental currently-missing feature in all mix-/ anon-/ dark-/ onion-/ etc- nets in existence today - i.e. chaff fill, which implies some sort of badwidth/ time reservation/ promise between nodes, which is (re)negotiated from time to time between nodes. This chaff fill feature is the single currently-missing feature which is required to begin to handle the problem of global (in a network sense) passive adversaries, aka GPAs - i.e. the NSA, the CIA, the FSB, etc, i.e. those well-funded entities paid for and run by nation-state actors who generally oppress the fundamental rights of the rest of us, such as the rights to live, trade, and move about within our communities.
