I hope it's not too late yet, ... my ideal miner would be of course the that has the power source built in, that has a display with % of accepted shares, that comes with a power cord, usb to upgrade the firmware in the easy GUI menu or OTA upgrade, ethernet port with PoE. Of course it will come with the new sfards chips in a small factory so could be a size of a 20x20x5cm and can have some broadwell processor in it. So the miner will be a router, which can be powered with PoE, when is not mining. If the user would want to mine, he will just plug in the power cord beside ethernet. Of course the PoE can provide a power up to 25W so it is good enough to be a media player also, this would require some emmc flash, lets say 8gb and ddr ram, lets say 1gb. on the device there will be installed android OS, which user can use for the home media player, with PoE powering only, or as a miner with power cord connected. of course the media player type of miner would require HDMI output. because the broadcomm processors have also bluetooth and wifi connections available, the device can also be a home audio bridge. for this option we would need AV out connected to amplifier or sound system, device can without any visual output, enable bluetooth or wifi signal, on which is then connected iOS or Android device. the iOS or Android device can then play music through wireless network to the "miner" which then ouputs the music to sound system.

I have already posted the idea on the FB
