+# 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
