counterwallet desktop

[robby-d]

get a desktop counterwallet running:

• under windows and macos, user downloads boot2docker (https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker)
• user then grabs federatednode/counterwallet_simple image and boots that
• user can then hit the webpage and get the desktop experience!
• this all can be packaged into an automated installer/process probably, for windows and macosx, , which will install boot2docker, then download the counterwallet-simple image, and install shortcuts to launch counterwallet. when the shortcut is clicked, the boot2docker will start up the counterwallet image, and launch a web browser to the counterwallet site (served locally by the image)
• on linux, the user can just apt-get (or whatever) install docker, and grab the image that way

This is a priority for Storj users. I think its important that the UI elements are native, and is not simply a local version of the web app.

@xnova can this be done by simply following those steps you mention?
If that's the case maybe we could first create a detailed how-to document on the Wiki.

The closer it is to a one-click install the better. Something like this can make or break the whole experience.
