And shift the "liability" for "privacy" and "data protection" to the private sector, so the government is exonerated of its duty of care (in context of having a government), and private sector is exonerated for all its activities with monopoly and liablity absolving legislation in its permanent favour.

In the case of "Lightning" DC system, not only is it likely that the system shall end up dominated by a few big nodes, but that is its fundamental design and guaranteed outcome - the only real argument in the Lightning DC system is who out of current players dominates over the others - the Federal Reserve system banks, or the commercial players such as Facebook, Ebay, Amazon etc... > But with lightning it should still be possible for smaller players > to provide routing.

Loki network appears to be a ground up rewrite of I2P, with an eye to the lower latency and clear-net accessibility of Tor, with newer (presumably better) crypto than I2P. Appears to ignore the fundamental currently-missing feature in all mix-/ anon-/ dark-/ onion-/ etc- nets in existence today - i.e. chaff fill, which implies some sort of badwidth/ time reservation/ promise between nodes, which is (re)negotiated from time to time between nodes. This chaff fill feature is the single currently-missing feature which is required to begin to handle the problem of global (in a network sense) passive adversaries, aka GPAs - i.e. the NSA, the CIA, the FSB, etc, i.e. those well-funded entities paid for and run by nation-state actors who generally oppress the fundamental rights of the rest of us, such as the rights to live, trade, and move about within our communities.

Chaff fill should be 'acceptable' with window/ time limited bandwidth reservations (as opposed to unlimited duration/ "permanent" bandwidth reservation to peer P) - works even for low latency, and especially adds some beneficial anonymity in a low latency network (even time window bandwidth reservations feels like it "takes the sting out of" traffic correlation attacks by global passive adversary, i.e. the deep state NSA/ CIA/ FSB etc). Without this fundamental enhancement to I2P, then over and above I2P all you're adding is perhaps lower latency, perhaps better encryption, perhaps better routing, perhaps cleaner code/ new code base, i.e. all more or less marginal improvements over the status quo. Chaff fill at the network layer is the fundamental anonymity improvement required wrt all existing *nets. Good luck, > https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/
laundering tax-theft shekels for your coaxial Ru-chopper job - “NASA's Mars Helicopter makes maiden flight in JPL simulator”
Classic laundering of tax dollars on so-called "research". As private USA corporate interests want to get back in the coaxial helicopter game, what better way than fund your novo "catchup with the Russkies" project than funnelling some tax theft shekels through a something something something "NASA Mars helicopter" something... Quadcopter or hexacopter provide greater flying redundancy and power balancing flight modes (particularly important in extreme remote environment as Mars), so coaxial autonomous chopper is just a fancy way to spend (thieve) millions of sheckels. And you prolly want a light weight fixed wing craft with variable axis props (lift + rotate to pusher/puller) to maximise solar powered flight time for such remote autonomous micro flying craft blah blah blah ...

A lockup / tax for early expenditure could make sense, tapering over adoption to payout remainder to UTXO's, but there's no Automaton Program released and executing in any network to perform such defenses as buying good or disabling bad nodes on its own. So keyholding and whatever other human driven schemes get scammy or pointless and the coins fail when the users realize it. Some old Satoshi theory...
