Tor is fast because they have a birds eye view of the entire routing concensous where as i2p does not as it can not. The latency suffers as a result in i2p. That is why tor is faster, it's not because of coins.

I have considered adding such a thing for i2pd optionally enabled but there is no such interest from the community to maintain such entities.

Don't you think that clients' peer selection logic could be improved to build lower-latency tunnels? Perhaps an intuitive UI could be provided, allowing the user to tradeoff anonymity with latency.

I have such functionality in i2pd, what would help a lot are more hints on capacity bandwith and latency from the network. I added "aligned outbound tunnels" which make things MUCH more responsive and snappy. i think that lowering the latency on the network is probably the only way to make i2p faster again.

Can you contact me via: https://apeace.github.io/contact.html

I've been reading the i2pd source the past few weeks and would love to pick your brain over a couple of emails!
