everyone focused on the SBF ponzi is missing the slow train wreck: the pension system is on the verge of collapse.

📣 Revert and disable I2P "notransit=true" option of i2pd.conf to not relay any public I2P traffic! 🚨
Notice to node MiniBolt runners: It turns out that the I2P devs have opened an [issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/26754) on the Bitcoin Core GitHub repo commenting that because they gave the option to enable the `notransit=true` parameter in the [official documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/71abee86dba8f311775104c518644c55c3e123cf):

Also comment that it is advisable to share as much bandwidth and transit tunnels as we can, to increase anonymity with coverage traffic, by contributing more to the I2p network than we consume. So they ask that we deactivate that option that you use activated. With all this, he already updated the "Privacy" section by removing that setting.
The steps to delete this configuration once we have already configured it, are the following:
With the "admin" user, stop i2pd:
$ sudo systemctl stop i2pd
Comment line 93 with "#" at the beginning of it (notransit = true), save and exit
$ sudo nano /var/lib/i2pd/i2pd.conf --line numbers
Start i2pd again
$ sudo systemctl start i2pd
And that's it, you could take a look at Bitcoin Core to see that it has detected i2pd running again after the reboot with:
$ tail --lines 500 -f /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/debug.log
If for whatever reason you don't see that I2P is up in Bitcoin Core after the restart, `$ sudo systemctl restart bitcoind` and look again at the logs of the same

one caveat is that you have to somehow communicate your relay to your followers. for example a relay bans joe or many relays ban joe. if you do not know the other relays that joe uses you will never see messages again.
