glacier87 and the team, thak you for the great work, please don't stop
To make it not just good, but the Best, please see the suggestions. These I think fulfil most of the mining needs. Hope you will find them making sense and worth your valuable time!
New Functionality Feature Correction multipliers (coefficient).
Add ability to specify for each mining profile of a coin some number, for example 1.5, by which the profitability will be multiplied in the Calculator and used for sorting (Calculator on a summary tab should sort by adjusted value, but ideally display both original value, and the value adjusted by the multiplier).
Why is it needed - Some coins have incorrect calculation for profitability. User will be able to fix it on his own without waiting for new version and be able to use profile for such coins. Now some coins have exaggerated profitability (while in reality it is much less) and almost always hit the top of the calculator on the Summary tab, which results in mining not the best coin. Currently user has to just deactivate the profiles for such coins so that they are not being mined at all.
Priority/Urgency - Very high and important because currently the issues with calculation of some coins profitability makes them impossible to use within the software (and as such reduces the capabilities of the software and its value)
New Functionality Feature Ability to use custom miner software.
User should be able to create a new folder within the miners folder and add his custom miner software. CGM would then be able to use it within profiles.
Why is it needed – Would like to use own custom miner, or a paid miner, or just any miner that is not in there yet.
Priority/Urgency - High
New Functionality Feature In General Options Tab, add more values for Difficulty for profit and Price drop-downs. Add 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 90 min , 2 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, etc, or maybe even allow any value
Why is it needed - Coins have different periods of Difficulty fluctuations and also price. User will be able to adjust his CGM intelligence to his own set of coins and level of acceptable risk.
Priority/Urgency - High
New Functionality Feature Software keeps profiles, custom pool settings and coin settings in cloud
Why is it needed - User may want to have CGM running on multiple systems with the same settings.
Priority/Urgency - Medium
UX Enhancement Add User Manual (Instructions) about how to add Custom Pool and Custom Coin
Why is it needed – The GUI is OK but after adding it doesn’t work sometimes. Best is having a “how to do it right” description with examples, etc.
Priority/Urgency – Medium
UX Enhancement Mining Profiles View Improvement
Make each profile only one line (or change to a grid with each profile being a row), instead of two. Add icon of a coin on the left of each profile for easier finding the right profile by a familiar color. Highlight the inactive profiles with a darker color.
Why is it needed – It is hard to scroll and look for a profile if you have a lot of them.
Priority/Urgency – Medium
UX Enhancement Add description of Devfee to both website and software.
Why is it needed – The industry values transparency – there should not be any hdden fees or anything without explicit note before the community start trusting the solution.
Priority/Urgency – Medium
New Functionality Feature Customizable re-calculation period.
Right now, the Summary tab refreshes once in 5 minutes. It would be good to provide ability to increase or decrease this period for those users who would like less (or more) frequent switching.
Why is it needed – With a specific sets of profiles(coins) , a fixed 5 minute interval or switch can bee non-optimal.
Priority/Urgency – Medium
UX Enhancement Preserve colors of the miner output in console.
Right now the colors are disregarded and CGM shows as once color text
Why is it needed – It is easier to see what is happening in the miner, if there is a lot of green or red shares, temperatures, etc.
Priority/Urgency - Medium
UX Enhancement Windows System Tray icon. The software should once in a while compare the current hashrate with a preset hashrate (ie. If you are mining on a hardware that is ought to mine at 10 MH/s and your current hashrate is 9.5 MH/s, this means that you are at 95% of possible speed. The tray icon ideally would be of a certain color (to be easily found among others) but also have something like a small dot which will have a color depending on the % of the possible speed. For example 90%+ - green, 70%-90% - yellow, 30%-80%- red, 0- 30% - black
Example is what Slack software has :
http://faq.micro-pctech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Open-Up-Hidden-Icons-and-Right-Click-Them-300x191.pngWhy is it needed – Users will be able to see at a glance if the system is running fine.
Priority/Urgency – Low
UX Enhancement Improve the Summary Tab – Most profitable Coins view. All values of one coin would be better to be put in one row, and each in a separate column. Make ability to switch on or off individual columns.
Why is it needed – User would like to see only those columns that he uses in his analysis, and see more coins without scrolling than it is now.
Priority/Urgency - Low
