Nodes that can reach the I2P network (have set -i2psam=
) will relay
I2P addresses even without this patch. However, nodes that can’t reach
the I2P network will not. This was done as a precaution in
#20119 before anybody could
connect to I2P because then, for sure, it would have been useless.
Now, however, we have I2P support and a bunch of I2P nodes, so get all nodes on the network to relay I2P addresses to help with propagation, similarly to what we do with Tor addresses.
