[honglu69]

NOMP-neng v1.0.0 released at github

NOMP-neng is an open sourced solo private pool that allows Neng
coin crypto miners to easily deploy scrypt NOMP mining pool on linux on docker.

Nengcoin v2.4 Hard Fork Proposal, Rolling 96 Blocks Checkpoints

Nengcoin v2.4 Hard Fork Upgrade Proposal

Here we announce that the new coming nengcoin core software release will be on v2.4.0 version with full version tag in wallet “"v2.4.0.0-randomSpike-P13x".   This new release is major upgrade release that will be expected to have hard fork.  The main purpose of this new release is to significantly enhance Nengcoin security model to protect against 51% attack (double spending) with new major feature of auto-finalizing block once they reached a certain depth (current proposal is 96 blocks, but subject to change on actual release).  

New feature summary:
(1) Hard fork at block height TBD,  cheetah diff drop by 20x to 0.000244 and spike diff rise 2x to 244k
(2) Enable auto-finalizing block on and after 96 blocks

* Auto-rolling 96 Blocks Checkpoints
* Security and Effectiveness of Auto-rolling Checkpoints Feature
* My Bitcoin Journey/Philosophy on Blocksize War
* Reviving Android Phone /  CPU Mining
* Timestamp Attack or Timestamp Game?

Nengcoin v2.4.0 Released - Hard Fork on Height 5438386


This is Nengcoin core hard fork release on version v2.4.0 for all users and miners with full Version tag "v2.4.0.0-randomSpike-P13x".  This is major release with hard fork forks so that all miners/users are required to upgrade to new version wallet. The extra character P in full version stand for new feature of automatic rolling 96 blocks deep re-organization Protection implemented in this release.

This new version v2.4.0 will fork on first cheetah block after block height 5438386 for sure. The new release also includes rolling 96 blocks checkpoint feature to protect against 51% attack.  Any hidden mined chains that require more than 96 blocks of block re-organization will be rejected and orphaned by full nodes even if the attacking hidden chain has more work than the public chain.   The hard fork event is projected to happen in 1 and half month or in early June, 2024.

This hard fork release fully implemented our previously released hard fork proposal.  Please read full text of proposal for details:

NENG v2.4.0 Hard Forked on height 5440351


Nengcoin v2.4.0 core successfully hard forked on first cheetah block at height 5440351
with new cheetah difficulty = 0.0002:

from here,  NENG v2.4.0 formed its own new chain and is no longer compatible with older version (2.3.0 or older).

Spike block Mined at height 5443388 on 244K diff
A spike block was mined at height 5443388 at 244k difficulty, possibly by a big hash rate ASIC rig.

After this spike block, big ASIC rigs are virtutally locked out because of randomSpike algo in that regular diff (diff = 5) becomes spike diff (244k). This spike mined lock feature is used to prevent the chain to be taken over by big dominant ASIC hash rate.

After this, the block are mined at cheetah diff = 0.000244, possibly by CPU miners.

Feel free for all CPU miners to join to compete for cheetah blocks after 2 minutes. The core algo since v2.3.0 release also allows +30 second change on your solo node computer timestamp, or timestamp miner gaming. Feel free to change your CPU solo node 30 seconds faster (or close to that, but no more than that to avoid rejection by other nodes). It is likely domination by solo CPU miners on PCs, rasberri pi, macOS, or windows.

How to CPU Mining NENG on PowerFul PC
Powerful CPUs with beefed CPU power can still mine with "cheetah_cpuminer" to target mining on cheetah blocks only ( waiting out first 2 minues ASIC mining time).

However, powerful PC or MacOS machines or Raspberry Pi that do not fear of power usage nor CPU overheating issue, can do direct mining on core wallet. See below support chat from discord:

"To upgrade your core wallet, it is quite easy, simply shut down your old v2.3.0 wallet, then restart with NENG core wallet with same command in command line or in GUI wallet." Please forgive me, but I forget the command line command to update? What is it? Its been a long time.. Thank you! - (Solo, CPU mining) Justin (edited)

Hi Justin, depending how you are doing CPU mining. There are two ways, light machine (android phone on usrland linux app, Pi, or casual Windows/MacOS/Linux miner) uses cheetah_cpuminer. The heavier PC miners directly mine with setgenerate. Here is command in command line (similar in linux or windows) for powerful CPUs and has no concern on overheating on CPU: (1) shut down old v2.3.0 wallet at home (2) start Nengcoin v2.4.0 wallet, either GUI QT wallet or CLI wallet as usual, you can download new version, just start it in same way as before on new version. (3) Linux, inside wallet software folder: ./nengcoin-cli setgenerate true 3 This will run 24 hours mining on three CPU threads or change it to whatever CPU numbers you want. To stop mining: ./nengcoin-cli setgenerate false macOS should be same as linux above. In windows, the CLI softweare "nengcoin-cli.exe" name, so change that in windows terminal, otherwise the same command too. (edited)honglu69 — 06/30/2024 10:41 AM

Windows 10 (CPU - Ryzen 5900x (24 threads 12 cores)) is my OS.. Sorry, forgot to say that.. Thank you for the info. You are great! (edited)1Justin — 06/30/2024 11:07 AM

You are welcome, check explorer on block height and hash of transaction ID before doing CPU mining. There are now two chains ongoing as the old version chain has not died yet. (edited)1honglu69 — 06/30/2024 11:22 AM
