Tor usage seems to be fairly common with Bitcoin, but I have heard less about efforts of integrating with the I2P efforts.

Tor and I2P both have their pros and cons, but I am curious to here about what I2P efforts have been made to this point and why more attention has so far focused on tor.

C++ may be viewed by some as more suitable for Bitcoin use than Java which I2P currently heavily relies upon

https://github.com/monero-project/kovri

Kovri:

  1. To cover, veil, wrap (Esperanto).
  2. A secure, private, untraceable C++ implementation of the I2P anonymous network.

Once complete this project should ease of integrating Bitcoin in both a private and secure manner.

Since 2021, Bitcoin Core supports finding and connecting to other nodes over I2P.

See the documentation for that feature: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/i2p.md
