	yes, I was about to mention that i2p does have some of the characteristics that a tor replacement should have. Like

	1) all users are also routers.
	2) it's not funded by the pentagon.
	3) there are no central 'directory authorities' - it's a  p2p network.

	looks like i2p COULD do traffic padding, but it's not doing it. 

	"Other potential benefits of I2P but not yet implemented" 
	"create a tunnel that will handle 500 messages / minute, where the endpoint will inject dummy messages if there are insufficient messages" 

	for what it's worth, I tried i2p in the past a few times and abandoned it after a few days because I didn't find any interesting content in the network. My assumption was that if there was no 'illegal' content, then the system must have some (serious) flaw. On second thought I realize that's not necessarily the case at all.
