This was actually meant as a suggestion for you, since you mentioned that you want to put all of your stuff, including the seedbox, onto one single cloud server (hosted by a provider that allows this), so I recommended to just get a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider.

Why should I use a piece of software that's controlled by a corporate entity in Russia?

I just adb installed the SmartTube APK from my laptop over the network

Does F-Droid even have an Android TV client?

Since you said you use NewPipe on a TV, I assume it's some sort of Android TV? Why don't you just use SmartTube?

I agree, i2pd is so much better than the legacy Java client, it should really become the default client for I2P.

I got a used unit for much cheaper from the place I previously worked at. If I had to spend 5K on one, I probably wouldn't use it either.

I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn't mind public torrents

There aren't many providers where this is the case, that's why I'm looking into getting a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider. Some have them, e.g. RapidSeedbox and seedhost.eu. RapidSeedbox dedicated servers are really expensive though.

What do you use now? AirVPN? Proton?

Ok well the ECO boxes don't really work as a seedbox, as they're highly limited in bandwidth. Even if I don't download anything, I still seed the torrent for others to download it. That's the main purpose of a seedbox I guess. Since your ECO box only really acts as a downloader anyway, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just get a VPN for downloading torrents, or a service like RealDebrid?

Currently on Iridium G10, I was on Gold G10 before, but ran out of storage. It's pretty expensive though, and I'm open for better suggestions. I think the next one I'm gonna try out is AppBox. Unfortunately no XMR, but they offer other crypto currencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH and others. seedboxes.cc also seems interesting. I'm also looking into getting a dedicated server from seedhost.eu for ~30 EUR/month.

What do you use now?
