Nengcoin pool for ASICs
One pool Cminors is on new Nengcoin (NENG) blockchain even though the pool name is still on NewEnglandcoin.   Pool info on bitcointalk Ann page is updated on this.

Nengcoin block explorer issue
Nengcoin explorer is slow to catch up because database fresh updated from start re-syncing. However, the node behind the block explorer site ( http://nengexplorer.mooo.com:3001/ ) is already updated to latest block. To know the last block , you can check the right bottom corner of block explorer page as shown in below screen shot:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nengcoin/comments/kmuzzx/nengcoin_block_explorer_issue/

As shown above, the explorer page on chrome browser says the total block count is 2,356,011 with 30 full nodes connections.

Also the block explorer difficulty display on the top is also latest to newest Nengcoin block.

Base Diff reset to 0.000244, boom for GPU/USB ASIC solo miners
Possibly because of hard fork today, base difficulty of Nengcoin just reset to almost zero at 0.000244 diff. Another boom for GPU/USB ASIC on solo mining mode.

Attached screen shot below just shows my ccminer on GPU solo mining setup on GTX 1050 card, several blocks in a few minutes of mining Nengcoin (NENG):

All the mining pools are on old NewEnglandcoin chain

Just checked and found all the mining pools are on old newenglandcoin chain. They are no longer valid on Nengcoin, please do not mine at pools until they upgrade the wallet to NENGcoin v1.5.x version

Nengcoin Hard Forked at block number  2354921

Block number  2354921 is the last block the Old NewEnglandcoin share the same block as Nengcoin.  After that, old NewEnglandcoin no longer can sync to Nengcoin block chain. Here is details of block info that Hard fork happened today:

NENG base diff just reset, boom for GPU/USB ASIC miners
NENG base difficulty just reset to close to zero. Another boom for GPU/USB ASIC solo miners

base diff shallow reset, boom for USB ASIC solo miners
base diff just did a shallow reset to 0.044 earlier today. This is too high diff for an average GPU solo miners. But this is boom for USB ASIC on solo mining modes such as Futurebit Moonlander2 USB on two rotating nodes.

cheetah_cpuminer v1.3.0 released - fixed timestamp attack
This new version is released at cheetah_cpuminer at:https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/cheetah_cpuminer

This new version of cheetah_cpuminer allows all cpu miners on android phones, computers, chromebook tablets to get a share of mining rewards when a big CPU miner attacks NENG with timestamp.

If your computer, chromebook, android phone already has a version in running, you can do below to upgrade:
(1) kill your cheetah CPU miner
(2) delete old cheetah_cpuminer software, re-download software
(3) restart cpuminer as before.

For android phones or linux, you can do below as easy upgrade using git command:
(1) step one: Ctr-C to kill the running cheetah_cpuminer
(2) under the folder "cheetah_cpuminer" or cd to it if not in that folder:

There is one big CPU Miner timestamp Attack


There is one big CPU Miner timestamp Attack
It appears that there is one big CPU miners doing timestamp manipulation and trying hard to monopolize all the NENG mining rewards. It appears it trying to stamp 2 minutes ahead and then 2 minutes behind and getting a lot of block rewards, driving out other CPU or ASIC miners.

Timestamp attack happened on GPU or ASIC miners before. CPU miners attack on timestamp is new on NENG. Cheetah_Cpuminer software will do a big upgrade tonight to address this unfair mining competition issue.

Can you come over to discord "support" board for help?
Most likely there is something wrong in your android procedure, for example, wrong platform (arm64 vs armhf),  or you are running on wrong dictory folder path.  Also post some screen shot of your phone UserLand app commands for that.

Hi, I'm trying to mine on android, but I couldn't execute this command (d. ./nengcoind (create wallet folder & files)), when I type ./nengcoind the message "No such file or directory" appears
Can someone help me?

For local wallet,  NEWE wallet file and NENG wallet files are compatible.  Also data files are identical too.  Just renamed backed up NEWE wallet file drop "wallet.dat" into wallet data folder.

Use the guide in wallet "upgrade_newenglandcoin_wallet.txt" when you download windows/macOS/linux/android new v1.5.x wallet and do the upgrade.

Updated on Best Practice for USB ASIC on solo mining

Updated for supporting Nengcoin: Best Practice for Futurebit Moonlander2 USB ASIC on solo mining mode.

https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/FuturebitMoonlander2_SoloMiner

GPU/USB ASIC rewards count on reset
Last day reward count for solo mining NENG on GPU and USB ASIC:

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 card, total mining hours on reset: 3 and half hours
GPU reward: 1.27 million NENG mined
solo GPU setup: one full node of NENG in Linux of virtualbox in a windows 10. GPU solo with ccminer software in windows10 pointing to this solo NENG node in linux.

USB ASIC: Futurebit Moonlander2
USB ASIC rewards: about 4 million NENG mined in 24 hours mining.
solo USB ASIC setup: two rotating solo NENG full nodes in linux in a local linux server. During peak of reset, " --expiry 10" was used for several hours as in the best practice published in github.

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:

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.
