    I see you have a SOCKS5 proxy to the I2p network.

    Could you not use an existing Bitcoin client via that in a similar way to people use a SOCKS5 proxy to access Tor ?

    I am not familiar with the I2p network - are you wanting the discovery of nodes to be 'in network' rather than by DNS as it is now ?

    I'm not involved with the I2p project other than being a fan and have just been watching this large unclaimed bounty for a while now.  Yeah I think your second option is more what there after.

    The problem with I2P is that its routable addresses are 256 bits, AFAIK, which can't be nicely embedded in an IPv6 range (like was possible with the 80-bit onion addresses). As the Bitcoin peer exchange system only supports IPv6, this makes native support of something like I2P impossible. You could have a proxy, and manually connect to it of course, though...
