I proposed this project to improve on Radicle’s p2p model by using Tor for universal, straightforward seeding of git repos.

One of the project’s git repos linked in that thread - https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.network/rad:z2ydYmUCJvDfNFTVTpEbQmm55EPt1/history

The dev who took the project also expanded it into a project to reimplement Radicle in C.
Since I’m not a coder and I don’t have any git repos of my own, I can only test from the viewpoint of an average layman using the GUI app to seed repos.
It’s impossible for me to properly gauge how the project is progressing without engagement from coders who try using it for their git repos.
If the project doesn’t currently interest you, your suggestions on how to start getting users on board would also be welcome.
That’s an even worse use-case mismatch than anything I had in mind, forcing anonymous transport via a traffic-pressured network primarily used for outproxying, just to get fixed network addressing.
In the past I’ve recommended onions for port forwarding. It’s more simple than alternatives and using the network is free.
The authors or Tor really don’t want their network used for torrenting though. They do support JS, and by extension I would argue the authors intended for their users to be able to use YouTube. In comparison to video, git traffic is insignificant. I don’t see anything wrong with it, but then again, users of torrents don’t usually have issues downloading without port forwarding.
