[Mesh] CJDNS fundraising for openwrt and Windows support.

[Alcides Gutierrez]

So, from my initial understanding, cjdns nodes are obligated to stay in
touch with physically close nodes and address-close nodes.

I asked cjd to clarify a bit. "With others there is only one layer, each
node makes a decision to route to one of it's directly connected neighbors
and that is the end." Whereas cjdns can have routers and switches
(non-nodes) in between and still calculate quality links. Calculations are
done by number of hops and latency.

So, if all computers installed cjdns and became nodes, routers wouldn't
need to become nodes themselves. However if routers became nodes, non-node
clients of the router would be able to access the cjdns network via NAT66.
