Can cjdns IP be used for user identification? #152

I'm planning to write a messaging app that runs on cjdns network and right now I'm developing the architecture. Can I use cjdns's IP to identify users? Is it a good idea? Thanks.

some people set up cjdns nodes as gateways to hyperboria for clients that don't run cjdns.

These users would be automatically authenticated as the same user.

It's up to you to decide if that's a bug or a feature.
