Could you build this?

Partial A clean GUI wrapper can be vibe-coded, but the underlying cryptocurrency mining engine requires bundling and managing low-level C++/Rust hashing software, stratum protocols, and GPU driver integrations.

What it would actually take: A functioning desktop application (Electron/Tauri) must bundle or orchestrate low-level mining binaries (like XMRig or custom OpenCL/CUDA miners) while dynamically handling system permissions and anti-virus false positives. It requires implementing or interfacing with a Stratum mining pool backend that manages multi-coin profitability switching, difficulty retargeting, and automated non-custodial wallet payouts.
