# What's Next?
Geeze dude! We just released version 8.0! Give us a break!
Just kidding!
If you've been an active member in our community, you know that the work never stops! We're constantly rolling out new updates and features to AIOMiner to bring a better and more successful mining experience to our users. So, next thing we're working on is further development of AIOMiner.com. We want the website to complement and integrate with the AIOMiner software. This way you'll be able to monitor any and all of your rigs anywhere you have an internet connection!
We're also going to be working on deep analytics into your rig(s) so that you can manipulate them yourself to align with your mining goals whether that be profit, coin accumulation, simply supporting the projects that you believe in, or anything else mining related.
Something already in the works and getting very close to launch is the AIOPool, but that's all I'm going to say about that! You'll have to stay tuned for more! (Sign up for our newsletter on the website)
