Just the couple of experts I spoke to said I2P was a more secure design but currently more vulnerable than Tor to attack due to Tor being a bigger network. Like I said before I was also in favour of a .onion site as well. Sorry for the confusion can we stay on topic.
Either they are government agents that lied to you on purpose, or just dumb. I2P is not more secure then Tor(they are about equal)
my
personal opinion is that tor is most secure, because of simpler and cleaner code(and of course its more used, but that not relevant when we are talking about the underlying systems).
staying on topic from now on.
Recommendations on how to run GLBSE in such a way as to have a normal www face but having the data base in the darknet (this would allow darknet users to have access as well), ideally without much lag.
This would allow the data to be centralised and safe from discovery, such that if a www face is shut down it won't actually effect the data (and operation) of GLBSE itself.
Mathew, the source for Tor is opensournce and freely available. Also the US gov (some parts of it anyway) also have good reason to be able to do things without being seen, it's why the CIA or some other agency is quite happy about Bitcoin.
