Session (and also Loki and Lokinet) always has been a weak project. It’s just a bunch of forks. Its incentive scheme for nodes is unsound, coin distribution is disastrously bad, and the whole project lacks of transparency but focuses more on marketing. But the most important thing: they have been stagnated for years with literally zero improvements of the fundamentals. And the latest changes with a new token is degradation.
From their blog:
Notably, Session Token is also not a privacy coin — but that doesn’t mean that Session is less private.
Oh, it does! And also shows that the team is incompetent, because private transactions is not magic anymore. Every time when I see projects which try to use crypto/tokens but avoid understand the tech such projects are worthless. Session tries to mix a private messenger with a blockchain and cryptocurrency and it is actually sucks in both areas.
It doesn’t matter really, one can write any words on a webpage, but show me the proof e.g. an unique and permanent resulting fingerprint.
I see from topics like this that many people don’t understand fingerprinting, just showing a fingerprint, a soft of ID means nothing. A fingerprint must be:
Banning Tor is sus and not wise. I guess I2P traffic over Tor is barely noticeable for Tor, because I2P is much slower. Especially if you need do it by blocking ip addresses and cannot distinguish Tor nodes otherwise then you do it wrong. And now I2P literally has introduced global IP blocklist because of someone’s opinionated decision.
Tor Browser does, but differently. It attempts to behave in the same way an all platforms, ignores installed libs/fonts/etc, uses letterboxing against resolution fingerprinting.

Oh no. I’m fine with installation. What with I’m not fine it’s requirement to access some websites to load an app, dependence from DNS in inner links, inability to proxy it through overlay networks, protection from spamming the network. Lack of everything what could make it deserve to be named P2P app. I just don’t want to see it placed in the same category with BitTorrent, I2P or RetroShare.
There are no non-toxic spaces these days.
