Wooo! Another successful year at CCC. The project has had another successful year at CCC.
A huge shoutout to the angels and organizers at `32C3`_. We would like to thank the volunteers at `32C3`_ for all of their help in organizing this event and for being accommodating hosts for us.
Just like previous years, we were located in Noisy Square to the right of the EFF's table. Many I2P contributors were able to attend this year's Congress due to many of the generous donations from supporters like you to the project.
Many were able to attend due to the generous donations. If you would like to fund I2P, please see `our donation page`_ for more information.
As always, there was a lot of interest in I2P, and we were able to talk to many people who we otherwise would not have had the ability to.

The Year of Usability! Just like previous years we were located in Noisy Square, located near the EFF's table.
====================== This proved to be an ideal spot for us as our table was almost always busy with current and new users who were interested in I2P, many of whom we wouldn't have otherwise had the ability to talk to.

There was a lot of talk about the usability of the router console. A common discussion point at the table was the usability of the router console, and how it can be better improved for all I2P users, with a specific focus on new users.
Many people noted that their best experience with I2P was through Vuze/I2PBote-Android. Many (both developers and users) have mentioned to us that their best experience with I2P was through `Vuze`_ and the `I2PBote Android app`_.
Currently there are vague discussions of redoing the current router console since it is a bit abrasive for new users to understand. Currently there are vague discussions of redoing the current router console since it is difficult for many users to understand.

If you don't know what a reseed server is, it is first the connection new routers use to find peers.

Due to the decentralized nature of I2P, detecting Sybil attacks is not as straight forward as on other networks (i.e. tor). Due to the decentralized nature of I2P detecting Sybil attacks is not as straight forward as on other networks (i.e. Tor).
To Mitigate this, zzz has been working on a new router-based Sybil detection tool. To mitigate this zzz has been working on a new router-based Sybil detection tool.
To be brief, the tool runs in the router, and collects information on floodfills your router is using. To be brief, the tool runs in the router, and collects information on floodfills your router is currently aware of.
Right now, the tool is mainly collecting a baseline, and does not act on any of the information it is collecting. Currently the tool is mainly collecting a baseline and does not act on any of the information it is collecting.

We discussed how much of the awesome work done on I2P is lost in the commits. We discussed how much of the work done on I2P is lost in the commits and there is not much to see for our users.
Meaning that to non-developers, there is nothing to see. To remedy this lazygravy plans on preparing a series of posts explaining some technical topics in I2P.
To remedy this lazygravy plans on preparing a series of technical posts explaining some technical topics in I2P. The initial ideas that we discussed writing posts on are what encrypted lease sets are, why different tunnel types are needed, and some observations seen in `I2Spy`_.
For example, but not limited to, encrypted lease sets, why different tunnel types are needed, some observations seen in [i2spy](GITHUB LINK). But these are just the start and we would like to hear feedback on topics we should write about!
