Security Mechanism Against 51% AttackCheetah effect is a Random Spike Technology™ that was first discovered and introduced during the development of Nengcoin. It has been proven to be a very huge success to prevent 51% attack which most coins in the crypto world are very prone to. The cheetah effect has been battle-tested and proven to be the best way to fully secure a coin network effortlessly, preventing abuses while offering a fair share of mining space for all crypto miners to fully promote decentralization.
reset difficulty = 1
Cheetah difficulty on randomSpike v1.7.x version = 4
Spike difficulty = 100,000,000,000
The Cheetahcoin (CHTA) blockchain auto resets to cheetah difficulty if blocks are not mined after 4 minutes. The cheetah effect can be explained by the fact that only CPU miners with Cheetah_cpuminer software can mine on Cheetah diff. Without GPU miners, CHTA is fine. Without ASIC miners CHTA blockchain is fine too. Without CPU miners, CHTA blockchain will be shut down.
Spike difficulty are assigned randomly at 50% chance to +- 18 seconds (36 seconds windows) of previous block. When a big ASIC rig attacks CHTA, a spike block is mined, the CHTA algo automatically triggers 51% protection mechanism that all GPU/ASIC miners can only mine at spike difficulty until reset, essentially shutting down almost all GPU/ASIC miners and leaving CHTA minable to CPU miners only.
CHTA blockchain adjust base difficulty every 720 blocks designed for 1 day. In comparison bitcoin adjust base difficulty every 2 weeks and litecoin adjust every 4 days.
Many of Cheetahcoin base difficulty adjustment are expected to be gradual, meaning up or down by 20 to 50%. Sometimes, historically about in 1 week average, or in the spike block mined situation, CHTA base difficulty should do massive reset to reset diff (1). Because of restriction of randomSpike imposed on ASICs, only GPU solo miners or USB ASIC solo miners can mine for millions of CHTA within one day on reset.
Bitcoin Clone - Suitable for Bitcoin Home HobbyistsCheetahcoin core wallet continues to maintain version tag of "Satoshi v0.8.8.0" because Cheetahcoin is very much an exact clone of bitcoin plus some mining feature changes with CEA algorithm on v0.8.6 branch. Cheetahcoin is very suitable as lite version of bitcoin for educational purpose on desktop/mobile mining, full node running and bitcoin programming using bitcoin-json APIs.
Cheetahcoin is very suitable for bitcoin hobbyists who can not , will not spend huge money to run noisy ASIC/GPU mining equipments, but still want to mine CHTA at home with quiet simple CPU/GPU or with a cheap ASIC like GekkoScience NewPac bitcoin USB miner or bitcoin pod miner on solo mining setup to obtain very decent profitable results. CHTA allows bitcoin enthusiasts 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.
CPU Solo Mining on Computers (Windows/Mac/Chromebook/Linux)Because of Cheetah Effect Algorithm on top of SHA256, Cheetahcoin is CPU Minable. Users can easily set up full node for mining at Home PC or Mac using our dedicated cheetah software.
Due to difference between SHA256 vs scrypt, Cheetahcoin is more profitable than Nengcoin for CPU mining purposes. Still, because of high cost of electricity, CPU solo miners on computers are not expected to make profit on CHTA mining. But because most of time cheetah_cpuminer does nothing other than observing and checking for suitable time to jump into mining, the usage of computer CPU resource is quite low. CHTA CPU mining is very suitable as casual mining on your computer (windows10, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook) while you do your regular browsing. You can also control the usage of CPU by limiting the miner will take when it mines.

The behavior of Cheetahcoin cpu miner on "cheetah_cpuminer" software is very much like a Cheetah hunting for prey in African safari. For most of time Cheetah just hide in the bush from the danger of lions. Cheetah only jump and chase small preys when timing and target is right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj7NLMeNSOQCPU solo mining on Android PhonesAndroid phone miners are likely to be only group of CPU miners that can achieve profitability even factor in the cost of electricity. Android phone CPU solo mining use the same software "Cheetah_Cpuminer" and "UserLand app". Please check out the android phone mining guide below:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/cheetahcoin/tree/master/doc/Android_Userland_AppPotential operation challenges for android phone specific: due to slowness of android phone arm CPU (particularly those old phones) compared to regular x64 intel/amd CPUs in computers, android phone miners might have difficulty for the CHTA wallet to sync wallet, therefore mining dead chain during base difficulty reset. If too frequent "cheetah jumps" observed during reset, you might want to increase
"--interval" setting to 10 or more (meaning 10 seconds for every checking). Or simply just shut down cheetah_cpuminer and let CHTA wallet to sync during reset and restart mining after reset is over.
GPU Solo MiningGPU solo mining during normal days are not profitable, may even obtain much smaller CHTA rewards compared to computer or android phone cpu mining. This is because GPUs can not compete with scrypt ASIC rigs on hashrate. GPUs can not mine into cheetah diff either so that GPUs can not compete with computers or android phones either.
However, on base difficulty reset day, averaging about once per week, GPU solo mining CHTA can obtain huge rewards, up to millions of CHTA to be mined within one day for several hours.
One strategy for GPU solo mining CHTA is to run a full node for CPU mining in your computer. Because on reset day, CPU mining rewards is very small, you can just shut down the "Cheetah_Cpuminer" on reset day, and change to a different conf file, and then restart CHTA wallet and allow your GPU solo mining CHTA on this same full node for big rewards. When reset is over, you can shut down your GPU solo mining, and then revert back to your normal CPU solo mining CHTA on Cheetah_Cpuminer software every day.
Update on 2/18/2021 - GPU solo mining is almost over for less powerful GPUs, but maybe still profitable for powerful GPUs. The GPU solo mining results were hit and miss in last several resets. you can try GPU solo mining but it is tougher game now.
ASIC Solo/Pool MiningDue to dynamic difficulty nature of Cheetah Effect Algo on top of SHA256, solo mining is recommended for ASIC rigs. Further more,
even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big SHA256 mining pool because of ASIC restriction on randomSpike.
In general, depending the hashrate of rig, the most profitable base difficulty range is when your rig can mine at slower than 20 seconds per block. Because of randomSpike severe restriction, the lower diff is not very profitable period for big ASIC rigs. In general, ASIC miners are only doing well when base difficulty is above 10.
USB ASIC Solo MiningUSB ASIC like GekkoScience NewPac USB bitcoin miner are likely to be the most profitable mining rigs on Cheetahcoin. NewPac do very poorly on pool mining, however on solo mining setup on full node setup, USB ASIC can be extremely profitable mining CHTA.
USB ASIC is all around miner during reset, after reset. On reset day, Gekko NewPac on solo mining mode was reported by member to be able to mine up to 3 millions of CHTA within one day of reset. After reset, gekko newpac solo miner is also to be known to mine CHTA profitably.

There is no boss or nor a CEO on Cheetahcoin. Nobody nor the dev team owns CHTA.
We expect cheetahcoin community eventually will take over the coin with elected board members. Therefore, we as dev do not intend to make decision on this coin solely by ourselves. It is our expectation that Cheetahcoin community will make majority of decisions on direction of this coin from now on. We as dev merely view our-self as technical support and software developer of this coin while providing CHTA a paid listing at ShorelineCrypto Exchange at launch using pre-mine.

even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big NENG mining pool because of randomSpike restriction.
The set up configuration of CHTA for SH256 pool mining is same as a typical normal SHA256 coin. In other word, CEA on SHA256 algo is backward compatible with SHA256 algo. Because ASIC/GPU miners rely on CPU miners for smooth blockchain movement, checkout below WARNINGs to All ASIC miners (warning was for NENG on scrypt, should be same for CHTA on SHA256) before you decide to dump big SHA256 ASIC hash rate into CHTA mining.
(1) Original Dynamic Difficulty of CEA algo Warning:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5027091.msg48324708#msg48324708(2) New Warning on RandomSpike
Spike difficulty (244k) introduced in RandomSpike served as roadblocks to instant mining and provide security against 51% attack risk. However, this spike difficulty like a roadblock that makes big ASIC mining less profitable. In case of spike block to be mined, the spike difficulty immediately serve as base difficulty, which will block GPU/ASIC miners effectively and leave CPU cheetah solo miners dominating mining almost 100% until next base difficulty reset.
