Hello!
I'm a newbie miner and I'm from Russia. I've been watching bitcoin and coins for 7 years but only now I made decision to participate and it's not easy. Actually in this 7 years it becomes more and more complicated to dive in.
PROBLEM
GPU mining community needs an easy way to setup most efficient mining for rigs. Tons of messages like "Help me to setup my rig!!1" appears here and there. Setup and maintain a most profitable mining rig is way too hard because it is really complicated. Miner need to read tons of forums just to choose the software then he need to always watch for updates for mining software and pools. Also there is bios and drivers improvements and updates.
SOLUTION
I think all this can be done by developing all in one mining OS and providing a Plug'n'Play solution for users who are willing to give their hashing power for the network and community but who have no time to understand all these tech things. They should just choose what coin to mine and mining mode (like aggressive or power-saving) and that's all. Everything else should be done by professionals and enthusiasts who will participate in the OS development.
Development should be done by professionals by using bounty system. This bounty should be provided by the community through donation.
HOW IT WILL WORK
Developers can ask for bounty for coin/GPU improvements and if community will provide sufficient amount then dev will be hired. The OS will be auto updated with the improvement. If miners will report that mining works stable for a week (maybe less) then developer will be paid. This should be done with the escrow.
How do you guys think?
