#### Planned Features
* Instead of the "help"
page on the website being being confusing to non-techies, there will be a simple "Download NOMP Desktop App" for your
platform (use javascript to detect platform and default them to the correct one). I will create this app using C#+mono
so for all platforms runs with ease on all platforms, and it will have its own github repo that NOMP links to. So when
git pulling and getting submodules it will download executables for each platform. Then will be a nomp.ini file paired
with the executable which specifies the NOMP pool's API url. When NOMP initiates it zips the apps per platform with
the ini. The app will get the coin-version-byte form NOMP API for each coin it wants to mine so the app can
securely generate a local private key and address to use for mining. The app pill prompt printing the private key to
paper and also enforce a STRONG (unbruteforcable) password encryption on the file. When using the app they can choose a unique
username that is used with stratum authentication like "zone117x.mfsm1ckZKTTjDz94KonZZsbZnAbm1UV4BF", so that on a NOMP
mobile app, a user can enter in the NOMP pool and their username in order to see how their mining rig is doing since
the API will report stats back for the address such as hashrate and balance.
* To knock down the barrier to entry for cryptocurrency and mining for those not programmers or tech-origiented, instead
of the "help" page on the website being being confusing for non-techies (when most people see a black command prompt screen
they run away screaming), there will be a simple "Download NOMP Desktop App" to get started mining immediately for your
platform (use javascript to detect platform and default them to the correct one). I will create this app using C# + Mono
so runs with ease on all platforms, and it will have its own github repo that NOMP links to. So a pool operator does a
`git clone --recursive` on NOMP repo, it will download NOMP app executables for each platform. There will be a nomp.ini
file paired with the executable which the pool operator configures to user their NOMP pool's API url. When the NOMP portal
initiates creates a zip for each platform with the nomp.ini inside. When user's download the app, it auto-connects to the
NOMP pool API to get available coins along with the version-byte for each coin so the app can securely generate a local private
key and valid address to mine with. The app pill prompt printing the private key to paper and also enforce a
STRONG (uncrackable) password encryption on the file.
The app will scan their system to get the appropriate mining software - run in background - parse the gibberish (to a noob) output
into something that makes sense. It will also prompt them to download the coins wallet software and import their private key.
When using the app they can choose a unique username that is used
with stratum authentication like "zone117x.mfsm1ckZKTTjDz94KonZZsbZnAbm1UV4BF", so that on a NOMP mobile app, a user can
enter in the NOMP pool and their username in order to see how their mining rig is doing since the API will report stats
back for the address such as hashrate and balance.
* To reduce variance for pools just starting out which have little to no hashing power a feature is planned which will
allow your own pool to connect upstream to a larger pool server. It will request work from the larger pool then
