-# neroswap
-
-This is a GUI client that allows you to facilitate p2p swap requests between XMR and WOW.
-
-It optionally allows you to lurk in IRC, chat with anons, run/manage nodes (wip), and stream [WOW!Radio](https://radio.wownero.com).
-
-It includes an embedded Tor process for easy tunneling over Tor. 
-
-This is a prototype application for the time being. Expect bugs/quirks.
-
-# How it (will) (maybe) Work(s)
-
-IRC is the medium of p2p swapping. Similar to #otc trades, except with a little more user friendly controls.
-
-It is *not* an atomic swap and caution will need to be taken when initiating swaps with strangers. 
-
-When you wish to initiate a swap (i.e. you have WOW and want XMR or vice-versa):
-* Run the client
-* Click "Request Swap"
-  * A notice is sent to an IRC channel where other clients will "see" the request
-  * Other clients will be able to easily "Fund Swap"
-* Wait for a participant
-TBD - TODO
-
-
-
-The GUI will connect to a given IRC server and channel

+## Todo
+
+* check if node already running
+* stop/start node process
+* setup work dir 
+* config file for saving prefs
+* store logs 
+* view logs in client
+* expose tor hidden service
+* persist hidden service
+* allow additional configurations
+* simple or advanced modes (show all config opts)
