I been trying to understand the difference between i2p to things like Tor and VPNs. To my understanding, i2p is its own closed off network, meaning you cannot use i2p to access stuff outside of i2p like the clear net, onion domains, etc? When using i2p, all traffic is relayed through other users in the i2p network like Tor but there is really no such thing as an exit node since you cannot access content outside of i2p? Therefore i2p is good for hosting .i2p domains that can only be accessed in the i2p network and is good for P2P applications like Bittorrent? Is this correct? Or am I still misunderstanding i2p? And therefore could you and other users on i2p run a bitcoin nodes which will only be federated with bitcoin nodes with the i2p network and never federate with the rest of the bitcoin network, essentially making a fork of bitcoin blockchain on i2p? And is there any other good use cases to i2p besides dark net websites and torrenting?

Keep in mind not all "privacy coins" are private. Some claim to be private because they have a privacy mode or just simply use IP obfuscation.
All monero transactions are private. The sender, reciever and amount are hidden. This is a true privacy coin because of these three features.
ZCash privacy is opt in
Dash I do not consider to be a privacy coin but is called a privacy coin since it has a privacy send mode.
There is Firo which I have not used much but I believe its privacy is opt in
Zano is a privacy coin that looks promising.

I wish there was more Trezor support for more coins and for more software wallets. I would argue Trezor is more secure then using any USB stick.
Simply place a note or card which would be a Monero meme inside any book for someone else to later find when opening the book.
When your in a electronic store that sells phones or computers. Go to a computer or phone on display and open up a web browser tab, and have it display something on Monero. Weather you go to a Monero website, or do a search engine query on Monero, or even use any AI apps like Copilot and ask it what Monero is. The next customer playing with the device on display will discover Monero.

For audiobooks I go to audiobookstore.com and buy gifts cards using a credit card and I buy the credit cards from Cakepay or Trocador.

Are all files on OwnCloud E2EE weather one has a personal cloud storage account or has an account on a team were files are E2EE for all users that are apart of the same team? E2EE were the server admins cannot see anyones filea, folders, file names, folder names and other metadata?
I want to know if there is a way to essentially hook up two AUX ports from 2 phones and merge them into one. Allowing me to listen to the audio output from both devices at the same time and use any set of AUX headphones to listen to these 2 phones.
I found a WIP flutter/dart client for nostr. Dart is a great programming language to use since it allows a single code base that can be compilled into an app for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and Mac. Also the Thunder app, a Lemmy client is written in dart and is a well polished client for Lemmy. Hope for people work on this nostr client than any other client since anyone can enjoy the features this client has to offer, regardless of their device.

Very simular to the airgapped wallet
Very cool indeed. Would be great if you can use other wallets instead of Nero such as Stack Wallet and Cake Wallet.

I could port forward both. However I would prefer to only port forward one protocol on the port number for additional security. I cannot find any definite answer online saying you need to port forward the same port TCP and UDP or a definite answer that you need to port forward only one port as TCP or UDP.
I disabled UPnP for security reasons and want to port forward qBittorrent. Lets say the port I chose is 8999, do I need to port forward 8999 TCP and 8999 UDP? Or can I just port forward 8999 TCP? Or can I just port forward 8999 UDP? And WTF is uTP? There no option to port forward uTP ports in my router or VPN.
A site where you can buy and sell things like ebay but uses bch?
Is it possible to send messages between lemmy users and kbin users. Not using Matrix, but the "fediverse" messanger?
How do you find the admins for a kbin instance? When I go to a kbin instance website, I cannot find anywhere the admin usernames.

I hope IVPN and others starts using RAM only servers in the future.

I wish Mullvad and IVPN kept port forwarding or find a way to bring it back without having too much legal trouble.
Not sure if BitcartCC can do plugins yet, but is there a Trocador plugin for BitcartCC? Have not used BitcartCC in awhile but I liked it better than BTCPay Server since popular cryptos like Monero were just built in and can be easily enabled instead of some clunky plugin setup just to use Monero, and BTCPay Server is developed by Bitcoin maxies who think Monero and other coins are shitcoins. I love Trocador, great server! My shoutout request to Trocador is to eventually make an AnonPay plugin for BitcartCC!
I do not want to carry my physical Visa card or physical Mastercard around. I also do not want to carry around any of my Visa giftcards and Mastercard giftcards. I am trying to reduce the cards in my wallet. I cannot use Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or any banking app since I have a degoogled LineageOS phone and I like it this way since every app I have on it is FOSS. If I were to store my physical Visa card details and my physical Mastercard card details in a password manager (Card Number, Expiry, CVC), would I be able to still manually enter these details at any physical place that take Visa or Mastercard? I will not be able to use the tap feature, but is it possible to always manually enter your card details at any place that accepts credit cards?
What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

If you do and lose access to the email you used to signup to lemmy. Can Lemmy lock you out when you do not have access to your email?

What P2P traffic will they block on normal servers? Bittorrent traffic?
Essentially the P2P servers do not have port forwarding of any kind, they are servers were torrenting is allowed and in juristrictions that tolerate bittorrent traffic to an extent?

fmhy.ml domain was seized due to the mali government taking back control of their TLD. Then they reappeared under lemmy.fmhy.net and then disappeared again but I do not know why.
Just annoying seeing this large dead instance still federated with lemmy.world and many other large instances.
Does anyone know of any lemmy instances that does not require an email for signing up?
Since lemmy.fmhy.ml and lemmy.fmhy.net is no longer online. I would like to suggest lemmy.world and other instances to delete any communities and posts from these two instances that are cached. The reason is that new lemmy users may join these communities as they find them in using the search on lemmy not knowing that they do not exist anymore since their domain name or hosting is forever gone.

Designated servers offer no technically advantageous feature set for P2P. They simply keep the P2P traffic separate from other traffic so that non P2P server latencies remain lower and more responsive.
So what is the purpose of NordVPN P2P servers?
Are the P2P servers the only NordVPN servers with dynamic port forwarding (UPnP) enabled?
I had some questions regarding the reboot of FMHY lemmy. - In this [post](https://lemmy.world/post/1915581) it states that the data from lemmy.fmhy.ml is still available? Is it now gone, has it been deleted? This reboot of lemmy.fmhy.net seems to be brand new instance without its original data? - Will the other instances that federated with lemmy.fmhy.ml delete the posts, comments, and communites from lemmy.fmhy.ml?

How do proxies work with port forwarding? Are proxies an option? No matter what I will use a VPN at all times but by using a proxy in your bittorrent client, could you get "port forwarding" functionality?
