Motivation

Server-side seed nodes are necessary such that that first-time Bitsquare users can "bootstrap" into the p2p network, i.e. discover enough other nodes and communicate with them. From that point forward, clients maintain their own list of last-known-good peers, meaning that clients no longer rely on the seed nodes.

Next steps:

• Steve to merge seed node command line startup from the seedpeer branch (eaaa0e0)
• Steve and Manfred to get their local routers working with UPnP and Bitsquare (per #3 (comment))
• Wait for Thomas Bocek to look into TomP2P issues and get back to us (per #3 (comment))

It would be good if we find a way to remove fees at all. If not then the current model needs also discussions and refinements. We could also look into Open Bazaar how they handle the problems (spam, fake orders).

Test a cluster of TomP2P nodes in real life conditions.

Find a way where to add a link to view the contract. Build UI for it and refine the domain.

The arbitration system needs more discussion and refinements. Waxwing from the IRC channel has developed a while ago a model as well (https://github.com/AdamISZ/stegabank/blob/master/protocol.md). Maybe we can motivate him to join in that area for input?

Maybe an overview about projects and a more neutral article?

We use polling at the moment, but a push based solution (multicast like) would be better. No concrete idea yet how to impl. that based on TomP2P.
