    Interesting, I did not realize Tixati had I2P support. Actually it has had I2P support since January 15 2025 so it’s had that for a year now.

    Tixati itself is not new, the torrent client has been around since 2009 (surprisingly the developer kept all those release news updates on the website https://tixati.com/news).

    For darknet p2p file transfers the same developer did create DarkMX (https://darkmx.app/), that itself has had I2P support since June 2025. It used to be Tor only up until then… I haven’t used it personally but it would make more sense for people to use DarkMX rather than Tixati since DarkMX was developed from the beginning without requiring clearnet internet. Using Tixati with I2P is fine but you’re still relying on the Bittorrent protocol for Tixati to work.

    Fun fact: This is the same developer that created WinMX back in the day (Kevin Hearn), his software has never been open source but he’s been developing p2p software for a long time now.
