4. 📊 Progress Visibility: Clear, real-time drop progress tracking
5. ⚡ Efficiency: Minimize wasted watch time, maximize drops/hour

Secondary Goals:

• Multi-account support (future)
• Drop value tracking (rarity, market data)
• Campaign notification system
• Historical stats and analytics

🛠️ Technical Architecture Changes

Current Architecture:

Channel Points Focus
├── Watch streams for points
├── Make predictions/bets
├── Claim bonus points
└── Drops as secondary feature

Target Architecture:

Drops Focus
├── Monitor active campaigns
├── Auto-discover eligible streams
├── Watch for drop progress
├── Claim drops automatically
└── Optimize for maximum drops/time

---

🔧 Key Technical Changes

1. Priority System Overhaul

# OLD (Multi-priority)
priority=[Priority.STREAK, Priority.DROPS, Priority.ORDER]

# NEW (Drops-focused)
priority=DropsPriority.CAMPAIGN_URGENCY  # Expiring campaigns first

2. Campaign Sync Optimization

# OLD: 30-minute sync interval
sync_interval = 1800  # seconds

# NEW: 5-10 minute interval + smart triggers
sync_interval = 300  # More responsive
trigger_sync_on = ["drop_claimable", "campaign_progress"]

3. Streamer Selection Logic

# OLD: Manual list + priority order
streamers = [Streamer("user1"), Streamer("user2")]

# NEW: Auto-discovery based on campaigns
def get_eligible_streamers(campaign):
    """Discover live streams eligible for campaign drops"""
    # Query Twitch directory for game
    # Filter by campaign requirements
    # Return optimal stream to watch

4. Configuration Simplification

# OLD: Complex multi-feature config
TwitchChannelPointsMiner(
    username="user",
    priority=[...],
    streamer_settings=StreamerSettings(
        make_predictions=True,
        follow_raid=True,
        claim_drops=True,
        watch_streak=True,
        # ... 10+ more options
    )
)

# NEW: Drops-focused config
TwitchDropsMiner(
    username="user",
    auto_discover_streams=True,
    campaign_filters={
        "games": ["Overwatch 2", "Valorant"],
        "priority": "expiring_first"
    },
    notifications=["drop_claimed", "campaign_complete"]
)
