base difficulty shot up above 1, ASIC is back on control, CPU Cheetah solo mining is improving yields.

[honglu69]

network hash rate: 68790.6766 MH/s   or 68GH/s.     CPU cheetah miner is getting pretty all the blocks.  It is likely earlier on today one big ASIC miner mined a spike
difficulty block, in which the event pretty much set the base difficulty to sky high and only CPU cheetah miners can solo mine now until the next reset. 

[honglu69]

base difficulty has reset, CPU cheetah solo mining dominance is over. Now is GPU solo mining world.

Changed title to CPU. Added  "Bitcoin Hobbyists".  The NewEnglandcoin (NENG) mining algorithm original upgrade ideas were mainly designed for
decentralization of mining rigs on scrypt, which is same algo as litecoin/dogecoin.  The way it is going now is that NENG is very suitable for
bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin hobbyists who can not , will not spend huge money to run noisy ASIC/GPU mining equipments, but still want to  mine NENG at home with quiet
simple CPU/GPU or with a cheap ASIC like FutureBit  Moonlander 2 USB or Apollo pod on solo mining setup to obtain very decent profitable results.
NENG allows bitcoin litecoin hobbyists to experience full node running, solo mining, CPU/GPU/ASIC for a fun experience at home at cheap cost without breaking bank on equipment or electricity.

NewEnglandcoin v1.3.0 - Scrypt RandomSpike has been released:

https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/NewEnglandCoin/releases/tag/v1.3.0

Hard fork block: 1,303,000

For about a week, this v1.3.0 is compatible with older version v1.2.x until block height 1303000.
Around  Sat (Feb 29) or Sun (Mar 1),  a few blocks after 1303000, the new version is going to hard fork off the old chain so that older version will no longer
be able to sync the wallet.  

Please upgrade your wallet before the hard fork block, everyone is required to upgrade.

good job team

[honglu69]

Looks like ASIC big miners pushed up difficulty above 15, then left.  Now CPU cheetah solo miners are the dominant mining crew on NENG. 
There will be another base difficulty reset, but it will be likely to be last reset before the v1.3.0 randomSpike hard fork.

On Probitex exchange add NENG/DOGE market! https://www.probitex.com/trade/index/market/neng_doge.html

This exchange is quite problematic. I had 400000 NENG stuck there last year that could not withdraw. No support in discord or anywhere. Always error "network busy" error on withdraw.

[honglu69]

The hard fork will take couple of more days to happen. This past week block movement was not as fast as one before

[honglu69]

Yesterday's base difficulty reset was from 15 to 6.   CPU Cheetah solo mining dominance continues.  

[honglu69]

base difficulty reset to a very low level.  A boom time for GPU solo miners. This should be the last base diff reset before hard fork.

[honglu69]

NENG is already on hard forked chain on randomSpike.  The older version wallet would not sync from now on.

Manually checked some of blocks, look all good so far.

From the if it's there I missed it department. Do we need to replace cheetah miner?
I have found 0 blocks since the fork. Could be bad luck, could be I missed that I had to make other changes.

There is no change on cheetah_cpuminer software itself.

But Cheetah is on solo mining mode behind full node.  The wallet full node needs to be upgraded to randomSpike hard fork of course.

The base difficulty is low now, cheetah is not expected to yield that much NENG on low diff period.  This is boom for GPU solo miners,  USB small ASIC solo miners,
not good time for cheetah, nor for big ASIC miners.   When base diff goes above 1,  cheetah will get better and better on yield.

Cheetah on new forked chain is working fine, here is from my cheetah screen:

The cheetah mined block is here, 25 minutes ago:
http://nengexplorer.mooo.com:3001/block/b67ceafbb808285d30e966c97adcb5fe6b62337e1d1e468885ec10c6958ba34c

The difficulty is not same as base diff, for sure it was mined by cheetah, but do not know which who got the block on CPU. 

cheetah is low time now, but still get rewards here and there.

Futurebit Moonlander 2 USB ASIC stick solo mining on NENG looks good so far.  Now about half of time get rejected, another half get accepted on blocks.
This USB ASIC stick solo miner  is likely hitting those randomSpike timestamp zone where 50% of chance is success/rejections spreading rewards to different solo miners.

Above was 10 seconds interval running cheetah.  The warning of miner timestamp cheating was only once, then gone.  There should be no real advantage on cheating
timestamp in this randomSpike  hard forked chain.  It used to be continuously warning of timestamp cheating in cheetah where miners got many more rewards on timestamp
manipulation.  The randomSpike looks good on miner timestamp cheating issue so far.

got any decent addnodes ?

im re doing the pool so each coin has a dedicated port to save mining other coins ?

im only getting 2 cons

addnode=75.127.136.66:6377
addnode=68.151.225.158:6377
