I was able to reproduce this. The only thing that I changed for the Mac packaging was the Java version, so I switched back to 11 and now it works. I've updated the binary on the website, please download and try again.


I apologize about this, and about the "unidentified developer" warning. I really need to get my Apple developer membership sorted.


I will read up on the proper way of doing things and move them around. I will also read up on the PkgInfo file and see about creating one.


You're probably referring to the various ".crt" files inside MacOS/certificates. That is just a naming convention for the certificates that I2P uses to connect to the bootstrap servers (it's equivalent of GWebCaches).



This is an important question, and the answer is no, BUT I am running a MuWire hostcache (aka GWebCache) which crawls the network, so if I wanted to I could build a graph of who is connected to who. Also, I run an update server to whom MW nodes report their current version, so I have an idea of who is running which version. Note that I don't see actual ip addresses, just the cryptographic identities.


Certainly, once I get my Apple Developer membership sorted it can happen. There are some anonymity issues with that though; right now it's possible to download MW through I2P and I don't know the ip addresses of most MW users. If I start using Sparkle I will be able to see that, so it needs to be a very optional feature.


I don't know how iTunes handles things, but it's important to mention that MW doesn't like when things change while they're shared. So if you need to rename, edit or delete a file you should un-share it from MW first.


The comment system in MW exists exactly to alleviate the need for this. Any keywords you put in a comment will be searchable, so even if the file is named "song.flac", as long as it has the artist, album and song name in the comments others will be able to find it.

Works now. Thanks.
I did unshare the folder listing first. Perhaps if I unshared each of the files first it might have made a difference. Just seemed easier to unshare the folder instead of a dozen or more files.

But is the comment system limited to only MW searches?

That inspires another question. What chances are there of my MW finding search results from other ip2 clients in other groupings/communities, etc. or vise versa? Example i2phex.

The Trust feature I find to be a difficult concept. How can I be certain a host is not a honey-pot investigator even if the files appear to be fine?

Yes, the comment system as well as everything shared on MW is only visible to MW.



Interesting idea but I doubt it will happen. I2Phex specifically hasn't seen any development activity in years as far as I know. If there appears a well-documented platform that I can integrate with, then I will certainly consider doing that.



Well that's generally a problem with every trust system. The best advice I can give is to take more things into account than just whether the files are genuine - for example what the user shares (can check via "Browse Host") and what the user searches for (can set up a ".*" regex rule in the Content Control Panel). Of course out-of-MW communication with the user in question is always a good idea. But neither of these is a silver bullet.
