base diff reset to 0.000244, boom for GPU/USB solo miners
base difficulty just reset to 0.000244 earlier today. Another boom for solo miners on GPU or USB ASIC.

2nd Testnet Testing on Cheetah Diff at 10x
Final version of testnet testing with cheetah diff = 0.00244 is ongoing. The code can be checked out at:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/nengcoin



The testnet cheetah difficulty is raised 10 times to 0.00244. If the testnet testing is passed on this, the code base will go into v1.5.x release for this cheetah diff level.

The mainnet code has been implemented, but the actual hard fork block number has not been finalized.

[honglu69]

Final Testnet Testing Result before the v1.5.x Launch
The final testnet testing is completed for about 5 hours and 15 minutes. CPU mining only, no GPU, no ASIC.

Total minining time: 315 minutes

Cheetah difficulty = 0.00244 or 10x larger than current mainnet.

Cheetah_Cpuminer on Testnet wallet, miners:
4 core android phone, --interval 10 --cpu 6, result: 15 blocks
3 cpu linux in virtualbox, --interval 10 --cpu 3, result: 8 blocks

Total blocks mined: 23 blocks.

Average minutes per block: 13.7 minutes per blockAverage minutes per block excluding 2 minutes cheetah waiting time: 11.7 minutes per block mining time.

Just summarize the same setup (4 core phone + 3 cpu linux in VB) with different cheetah diff, mining time per block excluding 2 minutes wait:

cheetah diff = 0.000244, 2.39 minutes per block mining time, phone get 22%

Cheetah diff = 0.0078, 44.7 minutes per block mining time, phone get 56%

Cheetah diff = 0.0024, 11.7 minutes per block mining time , phone get 65%



Conclusion

Success. This cheetah diff to be raised 10 times larger will go into v1.5.0 release launch under the new name "Nengcoin" soon.

So can I install it on a ThreadRipper running Android and mine all the blocks ;-)
https://www.android-x86.org/

But on a serious note, old crappy Android phones are all over the place for just about nothing.
I wonder how difficult it would be to put together a stupid large pile of old Android phones running Cheetah miner and just dominate for almost no investment.

Just thought of it because I saw an auction of old gen phones got for almost nothing. (100+ working phones for something like $40)

In theory, old phone might work. But in practice,  the NENG mining on CPU is quite competitive. Months ago old anroid phone was profitable, but somehow phone mining profitability dropped dramatically on v1.4.x release, and only minable for regular PCs, Macs or chromebooks.  Arm CPUs have issues.

With the coming v1.5.x releases, yes, the anroid phone mining NENG could be again quite profitable.  I can not promise on anything. NENG CPU mining is mainly for average regular users, those who want to mass mining NENG on big pile of phones run risk of own.

If you can install UserLand, and run 64 bits x64, yes,  android-x86 on ThreadRipper  should work too.

x86 32 bits are available on UserLand app, but NENG wallet does not support 32 bits on x86.  You might be able to compile yourself from source, but no one has test that, and it won't be supported by dev.

GPU mining rewards count on reset
GPU solo mining NENG is no longer profitable. I have shutting down my GPU mining.

Here is count for several hours of GPU mining NENG reward today. GPU card: Nvidia GTX 1050 card,

total NENG mined for 5 hours of mining: 2.14 million NENG. Attached is ccminer mining screen in windows 10 before I shut down mining. The ccminer block reward count is not accurate because some of NENG mining coins were orphaned:

Shorelinecrypto Notice

12/21/2020
Nengcoin (NENG) is listed at exchange.  The last free trading day for old NewEnglandcoin (NEWE) will be Dec 27, 2020. After that up until TBD date in Jan 2021, only withdraw is allowed on NEWE. NewEnglandcoin (NEWE) will be delisted from exchange in Jan 2021 TBD date.


12/20/2020
Because of name change, exchange is not able to automatically convert NENG  to  Nengcoin balance at exchange accounts. What we will do is to list two coins soon next week:  one is Nengcoin with symbol "NENG", The old NewEnglandcoin will switch symbol to "NEWE".  NewEnglandcoin will soon disable trading at exchange and only allow withdraw to your Nengcoin wallet. A some point TBD date, NewEnglandcoin (NEWE) will be delisted from exchange and only leave Nengcoin (NENG) trading at exchange.

When deposit or withdraw NENG (either NewEnglandcoin or Nengcoin), please limit each transaction to 50 million NENG only and do the next transaction after exchange balance is settled first so that our software automatically handle deposit/withdraw without human support.

base diff reset to low level, boom for GPU/USB solo miners
base difficulty just reset to close to zero earlier today. Another boom for solo miners on GPU or USB ASIC.

My ccminer on solo GPU mining setup in windows10, already 20 blocks of NENG in a few minutes of mining:

USB ASIC rewards: about 4 million NENG mined in 24 hours mining.
