It looks like Bitcoin has worked with i2p since 2012:

I mean, it's an old version, but should still work I guess:
http://echelon.i2p.xyz/btci2p.xyz/
Almost on same codebase as Verge
You see, I thought that Verge was based on v0.8 codebase because the INSTALL file in root github directory is identical between Bitcoin v0.8 branch and Verge master branch, but it was changed in v0.9 and v0.10 for Bitcoin. Also the folder structure looks like pre-v0.10 I thought.
Looking at your github with the coin emission - man, 75% of all coins that will ever exist mined in the first 10 days or so when you were generic scrypt clone called Dogecoindark. Wow
I know a lot of them probably got spread around. I certainly bought a couple when they were trading on Cryptorush v2 for 1-3 sat, but still... Whatever happened to that scammer dragon guy anyway?
Anyway, so no specifics on Wraith protocol? You guys are just gonna roll it out on mainnet without any public testing or scrutiny, or there will be a paper or some test code forthcoming before it's actually implemented for use on mainnet?
I think a reddit user pointed out a long time ago i2p was only on the bitcoin testnet, not the real blockchain, making Verge still first.It looks like Bitcoin has worked with i2p since 2012:

The statement about coin emission is patently false, for the sake of saving face I'd suggest you're looking at DGD not DOGED (a long lost coin of the same name, DogecoinDark).
I think Wraith Protocol is basically stealth transactions, which solves that issue of identity security when transferring from an exchange or in person, which I believe was first in Vertcoin. Of course, you can buy from exchanged.i2p right now and not have this issue with Verge, for different reasons.
The link to client I shared runs on mainnet.

There's nothing in the instructions about setting testnet flag.
You're correct, re: block rewards. I was thinking of normal bitcoin clone where halvings are evenly spaced in time, but here they're not. Here is the Verge/Dogecoindark repository: https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE
Quoted from the readme:

Blockreward:
Block 0 to 14,000 : 200,000 coins
14,000 to 28,000 : 100,000 coins
28,000 to 42,000: 50,000 coins
42,000 to 210,000: 25,000 coins
210,000 to 378,000: 12,500 coins
378,000 to 546,000: 6,250 coins
546,000 to 714,000: 3,125 coins
714,000 to 2,124,000: 1,560 coins
2,124,000 to 4,248,000: 730 coins
28000 blocks (the first two parts of the schedule) at 30 seconds a block is about 10 days (there are 2880 30 second periods per day), comes out to about 4B coins in ten days, or 25% of total supply to ever exist. The total coins that will ever exist are 16.5 B. After first four halvings, 9.1B coins emitted in about 70 days, so almost 60% of all coins to ever exist in first 10 weeks. Not exactly a great distribution imo, but certainly not as bad as 75% in first 10 days.Block 0 to 14,000 : 200,000 coins

If it's just stealth addresses (which have been around for at least four years), then why do they need to come up with some cool/scary sounding name like Wraith protocol?
