I’ve been thinking for a while now that, you know, Tor and
BitTorrent could almost be made for each over if they weren’t so quick
to dismiss each other (more so Tor because it rapes their exits). The
Tor network looks pretty stagnant to me, not growing very fast, and as a
consequence is quite vulnerable due to it’s small size/capacity. Tor
needs many more relays. A BitTORrent system could easily provide that
as it would offer an incentive to everyday users to want to engage in
the Tor network. I certainly would, if it was done right.

One comment from a Chinese Tor user in a recent blog post here said
it quite well to me. To paraphrase it went something like: “How come
they [GFW] can stop Tor, but file-sharing works fine?” I suggest the
reason for that is that file-sharing ‘technology’ is HIGHLY popular,
often with networks running containing 10′s/100′s of thousands, even
millions of nodes. The total is certainly in the many millions out
there. But what has Tor? Less than 2000 nodes at the moment?

BitTorrent shouldn’t be dismissed so quickly if one’s real aim is to
create a network of strength, resilient to attacks from the controlling
interests of a few.

But, about here is where things start to get political, I guess.
This is where you’re going to get a split in people’s reaction to such
an idea. It’s highly likely that both government and business are NOT
going to enjoy the thought of such a thing existing as it would threaten
their interests (control, money, power, etc). If you really want to
build a network that can survive, these such entities have to have their
efforts DENIED. This could include Tor’s masters, too (who pays the
bills?).

i keep pull at my own ears wondering why they can’t combine the following tools;
(voip-SIP server? ) asterisk + WASTE (p2p app) + open vpn + i2p

what has happened to that project to start a p2p-dns directory?

Yep: Detailed here: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea

From the article: “…apparently in some cases uTorrent, BitSpirit, and libTorrent simply write your IP address directly into the information they send to the tracker and/or to other peers. Tor is doing its job: Tor is _anonymously_ sending your IP address to the tracker or peer. Nobody knows where you’re sending your IP address from. But that probably isn’t what you wanted your Bittorrent client to send.>
