Hi,
We have some major updates on running NKN full node software on OpenWRT router: now with simple script and GUI management interface. So it is easier than ever to run.
What is NKN
NKN, short for New Kind of Network, is a bandwidth or connectivity sharing service built on top of a public blockchain. By helping other people relay traffic, NKN node operator can earn rewards in the format of NKN tokens. Typically use cases running on top of NKN are decentralized CDN (Content Delivery Network), real-time messaging, web accelerator, and streaming service.
Router requirements
The NKN node software can run on most mid-tier routers with latest 18.06 release of OpenWRT software. We support both MIPS and ARM architecture, require at least 256MB RAM and 8GB of storage (e.g. via external USB stick or plug-in microSD cards). The resource usage is quite modest both in terms of CPU and network bandwidth, so it should not impact your normal use of the WiFi and routing function. We do need more storage for the blockchain data, which increases over time.

And for a primer on what is NKN and what does mining mean in NKN context:
And all our software are open source on GitHub:
Best,
