CJDNS: A New Vision

## A New vision
Imagine an Internet where every packet is cryptographically protected from source to destination against espionage and forgery, getting an IP address is as simple as generating a cryptographic key, core routers move data without a single memory look up, and DDoS is a term read about in history books.
The cost of frivolous legal action is higher and the cost of operating a service is lower because identifying users requires cooperation from network operators but these same network operators work together to enforce a community defined acceptable use policy.
Finally, becoming an ISP is no longer confined to the mighty telecoms, anyone can do it by running some wires or turning on a wireless device.
This is the vision of cjdns.

What is cjdns? It is a routing engine designed for security, scalability, speed and ease of use. The dream: You type ./cjdns and give it an interface which connects another node and it gives you an ipv6 address generated from a public encryption key and a virtual network card (TUN device) which you can use to send packets to anyone in the cjdns network to which you are connected.

Jailbreaking the Internet: For freedom's sake

If the baboons succeed in constraining speech and information flow on the broader Internet, the new Internet will emerge quickly. For an analogy, consider the iPhone and the efforts of a few smart hackers who have allowed anyone to jailbreak an iPhone with only a small downloaded app and a few minutes. Though these apps couldn't be simpler to use, their easy and colorful UIs mask a massive quantity of research and reverse-engineering by a group of determined software and hardware geeks. It's all wrapped up in a nice, accessible package, but the underlying concepts are well beyond what 99 percent of those who jailbreak their phones can truly understand.

How I Develop Things and Why

“ Before I start writing a single line of code, I write the README and fill it with usage examples. I pretend that the module I want to build is already written and available, and I write some code with it. This has an incredible effect: instead of engineering something that will only get the job done, you start to interact with the problem itself and build an interface that reacts to it. — How I Develop Things and Why
