# Future Ideas
This document captures ideas for future enhancements identified during code review and architecture analysis.
## Remote Monitoring Bot
**Priority:** High
**Effort:** Medium
Create a Telegram or Discord bot for remote monitoring of mining operations.
### Features
- Real-time hashrate alerts (drop below threshold)
- Share accepted/rejected notifications
- Daily summary reports
- Remote start/stop commands
- Multi-node aggregated stats
### Implementation Notes
- Use existing EventHub WebSocket infrastructure
- Bot subscribes to miner events and forwards to chat
- Store bot token in settings (encrypted)
- Rate limit notifications to prevent spam
---
## Pool Auto-Discovery
**Priority:** Medium
**Effort:** Low
Add pool auto-discovery with a community-maintained `pools.json` file.
### Features
- Curated list of pools per algorithm/coin
- Pool health/latency checking
- Automatic failover suggestions
- Community contributions via PR
### Implementation Notes
- Host `pools.json` on GitHub (or embed in binary)
- Include: name, url, ports, fees, minimum payout, regions
- UI dropdown to select from known pools
- Validate pool connectivity before saving
### Example Structure
```json
{
"monero": [
{
"name": "SupportXMR",
"url": "pool.supportxmr.com",
"ports": {"stratum": 3333, "ssl": 443},
"fee": 0.6,
"minPayout": 0.1
}
]
}
```

## Profitability Calculator
**Priority:** Medium
**Effort:** Medium
Add real-time profitability calculations using CoinGecko API.
### Features
- Fetch current coin prices (XMR, ETH, RVN, etc.)
- Calculate daily/weekly/monthly earnings based on hashrate
- Factor in electricity costs (user-configurable)
- Compare profitability across algorithms
- Historical profitability charts
### Implementation Notes
- CoinGecko free tier: 10-50 calls/minute
- Cache prices for 5 minutes to reduce API calls
- Store electricity rate in settings ($/kWh)
- Formula: `(hashrate / network_hashrate) * block_reward * price - electricity_cost`
### API Endpoints
- `GET /api/v1/mining/profitability` - Current estimates
- `GET /api/v1/mining/profitability/history` - Historical data
---
## One-Click Deploy Templates
**Priority:** Low
**Effort:** Medium
Create deployment templates for popular self-hosting platforms.
### Platforms
- **Unraid** - Community Applications template
- **Proxmox** - LXC/VM template with cloud-init
- **DigitalOcean** - 1-Click Droplet image
- **Docker Compose** - Production-ready compose file
- **Kubernetes** - Helm chart
### Template Contents
- Pre-configured environment variables
- Volume mounts for persistence
- Health checks
- Resource limits
- Auto-update configuration
### Files to Create
```
deploy/
├── docker-compose.prod.yml
├── unraid/
│ └── mining-dashboard.xml
├── proxmox/
│ └── mining-dashboard.yaml
├── kubernetes/
│ └── helm/
└── digitalocean/
└── marketplace.yaml
```

## Community Visibility (Manual Tasks)
### Submit to Awesome Lists
- [ ] [awesome-monero](https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/awesome-monero)
- [ ] [awesome-selfhosted](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted)
- [ ] [awesome-crypto](https://github.com/coinpride/CryptoList)
### GitHub Repository Optimization
- [ ] Add topic tags: `mining`, `monero`, `xmrig`, `cryptocurrency`, `dashboard`, `self-hosted`, `golang`, `angular`
- [ ] Add social preview image
- [ ] Create GitHub Discussions for community Q&A
- [ ] Add "Used By" section in README
---
## Additional Ideas
### GPU Temperature Monitoring
- Read GPU temps via NVML (NVIDIA) or ROCm (AMD)
- Alert on thermal throttling
- Auto-pause mining on overtemp
### Mining Schedule
- Time-based mining schedules
- Pause during peak electricity hours
- Resume when rates are lower
### Multi-Algorithm Auto-Switching
- Monitor profitability across algorithms
- Automatically switch to most profitable
- Configurable switch threshold (prevent thrashing)
### Web Terminal
- Embedded terminal in dashboard
- Direct access to miner stdin/stdout
- Real-time log streaming with search/filter
