Over the past few weeks I've done some research on how to pack & launch a Tor installation within a Qt application

we could ship Tor embedded into the Monero GUI and have it run as a child proc

and use it to tunnel HTTP, and maybe in the future also tx's

thoughts?

Same as i2p-zero really, but Tor

they'll compliment eachother .. alltough i2p-zero would not be used for HTTP tunneling

as it has no exit nodes to clearnet

"Hello, dear Tor. Great set of exit nodes here, sir." "Thanks i2p, I quite like the way you packet switch".

oof, inter-process communication will be hard. But Qt has this dbus thing :-P

Windows presumably doesn't have that ?

Windows does not have a lot of things, but Qt often fills the gaps there

moneromooo: I'm really doubting those 2 processes are going to have a conversation like that though. They're not like humans.

How do you see them complimenting each other then ?

Ahhh... well.. :D hehehe

That was just part of my marketing speech. I said it reiterate that I was not planning on canning knaccc's work

Oh "complement"

damnit mooo totally derailed me

lol

anyway, I got a bunch of code that deals with managing a Tor process

I think we could include it inside the GUI and as a first step route all HTTP traffic through it (if the user enables Tor)
