Yeah, I2P is much easier to automate in that regard. I could setup some .onions manually and post them to the list to be used as seeds. I have always-on nodes that can just be tied to Tor with minimal effort.
I used to be a big advocate of Tor, but after I started using I2P I found it to be much, much better in a lot of ways. Biggest improvement is speed. 😉 Too bad they wrote it in Java.

There aren’t many .onion addresses in use for anything because the user has to go through a number of steps to create one. Configure TOR to generate a .onion address, restart TOR, configure it with the generated address. Perhaps this is intentional to keep TOR so it can’t be integrated into file sharing programs in any sufficiently automated way.
