ian Hello I hope you are all doing well, I'm new here. I have a problem, I'm trying to use libi2pd in my own app, after i2p::api::StartI2P(); in my C++ code, what do I have to do exactly? How can I make it connect to network for a while so that connections work? Thanks :)

orignal you must create local destination first (file Destination.cpp)

orignal there you have methods like CreateStream

orignal StartI2P starts your node, netdb and trsnports

ian Okay thanks I see, I need to use i2p::api::CreateLocalDestination first? The old code in anci2pd is still useful to get an idea of this?

orignal тno

orignal just new ClientDestination

orignal or new RunnableClientDestination

orignal yes, code from anci2pd should work

orignal although more pearas and crypto

ian Oh kk I see, thanks alot for helping bro. I'll ask here again whenever I run into issue.

orignal the problem that nobody uses it ))

ian Yea, more apps need to use it. Sadly they don't :(

whothefuckami Sadly?

whothefuckami Yeah sadly

orignal no interest to it

whothefuckami What's libi2pd bts?

whothefuckami Btw

whothefuckami Wong typeing

ian whothefuckami, libi2pd is a library to use inside your own apps, so you can use i2p inside your app.

whothefuckami Eh?

whothefuckami Api?

ian Yeah

whothefuckami Or building part of i2pd into your app?

ian It's so you can interact with i2p network inside your app bro

orignal you can run a built in i2p router in your app

orignal hence you don't need SAM or tunnels or I2CP

orignal you can call CreateStream directly

whothefuckami Hm

orignal and use this stream it in your code

whothefuckami Exactly what I imagined

whothefuckami Disadvantages?

whothefuckami Can 2 routers be part of network with 1 ip address?

orignal disadvantage that every app has own router

orignal yes, you can do it

whothefuckami I mean

orignal but if you have too many it will look suspicious

whothefuckami Omegapog for creating rats that work through i2p

whothefuckami Super anonymous rat

Anonymous ?

orignal also before i2p consumed severe amount of roureces

orignal but not now

weko Как и обещал codeberg.org/weko/i2plib-fork

orignal а чего не на гитхабе?

weko Приложение для gitea GitNex получше выглядит (для меня)

weko Да и гитхаб майкам принадлежит, говорит о многом

ian_ orignal, can you please write to me the control flow of libi2pd, how it needs to be called in order? Just so I have an idea like LoadPrivKeys->ClientDestination etc.. < I Just made this up Thanks.

orignal first you need to have your local address, e.g. private keys

orignal you can generate them, read from file, etc.

orignal once you have it you create ClientLocalDestination

orignal with these keys

orignal and list of params you might need to set

orignal now you are ready to connect to your peer

orignal once yoy know thier I2P address you call CreateStream and pass idenhash that's basically decoded .b32 address

ian_ Then with CreateStream I can do whatever I want?

orignal it's async call

ian_ Yea, I need to use boost asio with it bro?

orignal and pointer to new stream will be passed to your callback

orignal i2pd uses boost

ian_ Okay good, thanks alot for the help, it's appreciated haha

ian_ Hi original, sorry if I'm asking alot tips since there's no documentation. About m_Keys = i2p::data::CreateRandomKeys();, where do I need to store the keys exactly as I want to use same keys later in the same C++ app?

ian_ is there a function to save the keys in the good format?

orignal there is no such function

orignal size_t ToBuffer (uint8_t * buf, size_t len) const;

orignal of PrivateKeys

orignal you dump keys to a memory buffer

orignal then save this buffer in file or send by network or whatever you wish

ian_ Okay thanks, that's exactly what I wanted.

orignal the opposute is size_t FromBuffer (const uint8_t * buf, size_t len);

orignal you can also save and restore it as base64 string

ian_ m_Keys.ToBase64() like this ,it's gonna give base64 yeah?

orignal yes

orignal for SAM for example

ian_ alright good

australian Australian government to adopt I2P.

ian_ What is the difference between : i2p::data::CreateRandomKeys(); andi2p::data::PrivateKeys::CreateRandomKeys();? The second lets you set custom encryption type? That's the only difference?

weko australian: what?
