I designing a new front end for typical SHA256 and Scrypt cryptocurrency miners.

I've seen some really great miners and would like to build an ultimate toolbox front end.

What features would you want to see?

What I plan (mainly for scrypt miners, but sha256 included)

Mining platform to select miner + version of miner.
Pool failover handled by front end
Aggregated pool/share/etc information on front end
Aggregated GPU/ASIC performance data by configuration, by date, etc--- help zone in on the "perfect" configuration.
OC and voltage configuration from front end via GPU SDK.
Device temperature
Remote API/web/mobile interface.
Alert system for miners -- low hash, high temp alert, down miner, etc.
Scheduled slow down or pause times for miners to avoid high-demand electric rates
Additionally, a web front end would exist for miners that woudl allow comparison of GPU card configuration to hash rates, etc.
  --- [ Example, miner identifies device/GPUand pulls up crowd-sourced confirmed card/GPU-model match configuration & hash rates.]

Also, what features did you wish could be handled by a client, instead of having to do manually or on the pool's interface.

So, that all aside, the question I have is if the front end made configuring and running your miners easier, would you donate for it?



Thanks

Hello newbies and mods.

I'm a developer and have had some real irritations with the current scrypt-compatible guiminer.  I've read post after post about how hashrates aren't as high and you can't setup failover/round-robin pools.

So, I'm interested in finding out if I built a product that was easy enough for newbies to use, but powerful enough for mining businesses to use, would you donate to use it?

I just want to know if I could get my time paid for, back out of the system-- without forcing anyone into pay for the product.

If you said yes, or no-- reply with some of the features you would like to see in such a rebuild.

Thanks
