I was looking through the contributors of Kovri, and saw that an account named [Orignal][1] had contributed a lot in the early days.

Looking at his current projects, it appears that he is now working on something called [i2pd][2], which bares striking similarities to Kovri.

After a little bit of research, it appeared that Kovri and i2pd are two projects sprouted from the same initial project. But as it quickly became apparent to me, that there was a lot more to it, I felt it would be better if one of you could shed some light on it.

My questions would be;

What is the main differences between i2pd and Kovri?

And with the more subjective glasses on, why is the one more beneficial than the other for the Monero project?
