There is at least 1 attempt to rewrite I2P, and he is not even
interested in the core improvement - chaff fill.

Tor is fundamentally compromised, as Juan correctly points out:

 - TCP, not UDP, as base protocol

 - no chaff fill

 - independent "core router" operators, e.g. Jacob Applebaum, have
   been purged from Tor core group - in a rather brutal public
   lynching manner (classic CIA psy op)


I2P is not government funded, and so "new user/ high speed internet/
low latency" experience, is not enticing to said new users.

A fundamental difference from Tor's "core high performance routing
nodes" and TCP (connection base mode) compromises (along with chaff
fill), are:

 - mesh network
 - UDP connectionless base network
 - chaff fill

For any network, your entry nodes are a fundamental privacy problem/
issue.

Tor settled on "choose 1, stick with it for a few months or more,
since the more you hop, the greater the chance you hit a compromised
entry node anyway".

A fundamental difference for an alternative needs to be F2F - friend
to friend connections. You -must- find meat space humans who join in
your freedom/liberty network, if you want the possibility of not
being immediately GPA statistically sniffed.

I'll have a look see...
