Meta: Path to a MVP

[heikoheiko]

Revise the milestones so that they plan for the quickest route to a minimal viable product. I.e. usability, key handling, channel opening, UI might be more important than updating the transport layer or routing algorithm.

Intended audience: Developers considering to use Raiden in their DApp

Accounts: For now assume we can read the keystore file (or a copy of it) of the local Ethereum node. #180

What is the maximum acceptable setup effort for a user/user application? Should it be boxed or an installable library?

• minimal effort onboarding: "automate all the stuff that can be automated"
• have a "boxed" installer for a usable "service daemon", generalized for at least common GNU/Llinux distributions, OS X

#179

Q: Will there be a end-user interface?

Yes, have a minimal JS/HTML based UI as an example. Try to cooperate with volunteers.

How will routing be solved in the MVP? Global view, or different strategy?

• new routing strategy is out of scope for MVP (since scaling issues are unknown at this point)

Q: How do we handle going offline? Support for 3rd party challenging? Persistence?
A:

• Add persistence
• Support state resync
• Add 3rd party challenging
