Hi!
For the past few days I’ve been hacking away at a little web-based manager for cryptocurrency clusters (mine is Primecoin, and I think Primecoin is probably where it is most useful), basically solving a frustration of mine (pssh with lots of different machines is a pain in the arse!). Originally I planned on just making it and then posting but figured I could get some suggestions and get them built straight in
What I’ve already thought about: (and have added / will be adding soon)
[ul][li]Node monitoring (uptime / hashrate / wallet balance)[/li]
[li]Email / SMS Notifications (block found / node offline)[/li]
[li]Graphing hashrate / uptime (personally I want nice graphs so I can see if there’s better times to run things like EC2 instances for mining)[/li]
[li]Coin management (optional) - have coins transferred to a main wallet when received (Unsure about: provide a hosted wallet? then don’t need a dedicated wallet to be online)[/li]
[li]IFTTT style triggers (example: run command x when a block is found)
[/li][li]Probably other obvious things I’m not thinking about[/li][/ul]
What I’m considering / wanting peoples thoughts on:
[ul][li]SSH Deployment - setup the mining machines based on a script I write / you upload[/li]
[li]Hosted wallet - provide a hosted wallet so people can keep their coins centrally[/li][/ul]
And another thing, would people feel better about keeping a script on their machine for me to access or use RPC (which would require their password to be stored on the serve relatively badly, symmetric encryption at best since it’s needed)
Is there any interest in a service like this (or is it just me being lazy? ;))
And would people be willing to pay a small amount each month to manage more than (amount to be decided, but for example) 5 servers (<£5, payable in XPM / BTC / LTC)
Also names? the best I could think of is “CryptoCluster” which doesn’t have any (active) trademarks associated with it (don’t really want to include anything primecoin related in the name since it will work with other coins :)) But I’ve never been great with names
Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks in advance
