Android mining scaling fix v1.5.x is on testnet code base

testnet code change on  android phone scaling hard fork fix is coded at github branch:  "v1.5.x_cheetahscaling"
Cheetah diff now is separated out from reset diff and now set at cheetah diff= 0.0078.  All feedback on cheetah cpu mining on testnet is welcomed to dev team.

Once this testnet testing is passed, a formal pdf proposal for NENG v1.5.x hard fork will be provided to NENG community for this new hard fork.

why Android phone NENG cheetah mining reward Dropped Severely
I think I figured out why Android phone NENG cheetah mining reward has gone down a lot, to the level even that 4 core android is even poorer than 1 cpu old PC.

Here is why. At beginning of NENG cheetah CPU mining months ago, average cheetah block mined by CPU was 2 minutes, or 120 seconds by one or two cpu miner full node. Now there are 30 to 40 nodes on Cheetah_Cpuminer of NENG full node mining NENG. Now the average cheetah block is divided by 30, 120 seconds becomes 4 seconds per cheetah block in average.

Android phone ARM CPU is slow, it has problem to sync. Even if it has 8 CPU threads in UserLand linux, but slow to start. --interval recommended for phone is 10 at smallest. This means that by the time Android phone no matter how much cores it has, by the time phone start to mine, using more threads, the cheetah block was mined already by other PC or Mac. Android phone in this case is severely disadvantaged because of slow start and slow CPU nature of arm on 1 core basis.

Updated Best Practice for Futurebit Moonlander2 USB ASIC on solo mining mode
- Problems for USB ASIC solo mining on NewEnglandcoin (NENG)
- Root Cause for ALL POOL DEAD error
- Workaround: rotate solo mining on two full nodes
- Alternative: rotate on 1 solo mining one full node + 1 mining pool
- Experimental feature to boost reward on reset

This script is for linux server only. However, windows 10 solo mining on USB ASIC futurebit moonlander2 can use similar method as above on two rotating nodes to achieve similar results.

GPU solo mining reset morning report
I got in early in the morning several hours before reset on my GPU. Wake up, now see 288 block mined in ccminer, in wallet 2.23 million NENG mined for 10 hours running. At beginning hours were nothing, then NENG rain on my Nvidia GTX 1050 solo mining setup(edited).

This is first time my GPU got in before reset starts. Usually I was several minutes to 1 hour missing at beginning.

Alert for GPU solo miners, reset in 12 hours

Latest projection for next reset in 12 hours from here. Or 5:00 am U.S. eastern time there will be a reset to close to zero base diff . In 12 hours, GPU solo miners on NENG can mine millions of NENG within one day.

Spike Block Mined, 51% Security Mechanism triggered

Spike block is mined:
https://quanticoin.quantic.best/explorer/NENG?height=2147594

A 51% security mechanizm triggered. CPU miners will likely to dominate mining now. This also means that reset is coming soon.

GPU solo mining on reset report

Almost base diff = 0.02.  I am shutting down my GPU solo mining, no longer profitable.
Almost 6 hours into GPU solo mining,  Nvidia GTX 1050 card,  1.78 million NENG mined  and confirmed into NENG wallet.   My GPU will be back on NENG mining on next reset.

Base diff reset to low level, boom for solo GPU/USB ASIC miners

Base diff reset to low level, another boom for solo GPU/USB ASIC miners

Final Tally for Nvidia GTX 1050 on reset today
Nov 7, 2020 rest GPU solo mining report

4 and half hours into GPU solo mining on GTX 1050. 191 blocks mined. On wallet, excluding orphaned blocks, about 1.37 million NENG on GPU for less than 5 hours mining. Worth about 343 DOGE on current NENG trading price. 343 DOGE is about $0.92 USD. Less than 5 hours of GPU mining NENG with slightly less than 1 USD dollar reward.

Base diff is at 0.02. This is not profitable for my GPU. I am shutting down my GPU GTX 1050 for today reset. This is about 4 and half hours of mining. My GPU will be back on NENG solo mining on next reset.

Total counting: 1.37 million NENG in 4 and half hours of solo mining NENG on GPU. This reward is half of what used to be mainly because of NENG halfening. Block reward is only half of what used to be. The actual block mined on my GPU GTX 1050 Nvidia card is very solid

Base Difficulty Reset, boom for GPU/USB ASIC solo miners

Base difficulty just reset to almost zero now. Another boom for GPU or USB ASIC solo miners

Was just looking at one of my solo miners and saw that.
Congratulations on this. It's nice to see a developer keeping up with the coin and making sure it stays around and active.
Will keep mining away.

First NewEnglandcoin(NENG) Blockchain Halfening

NewEnglandcoin(NENG) has successfully completed its first halfening at 2.1 million block number, checkout:
http://nengexplorer.mooo.com:3001/block/33f4b7895de336e0bff3a1c844c4cc89dfb362a889a971c2692582b24ef5b3b5

My final GPU solo mining tally on Reset

My final GPU solo mining tally, 6 hours of mining on Nvidia GTX 1050, 190 blocks on ccminer, the actual earned NENG was 2.62 million NENG in wallet. Many were orphaned, so that not truly 190 blocks. 2.62 million NENG on 6 hours mining on an old GPU.

I have shut down my GPU. My GPU will come back to NENG on next reset day.

Base difficulty reset, Boom for  GPU solo miners

NENG base difficulty has reset to almost zero just now. All GPU solo miners should fire up solo miners into the NENG rain. Another boom for GPU/USB ASIC solo miners

Explanation on "Spike" Concept, 51% Attack Security Protection

Spike block mined at at 244,000 difficulty https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/516702014160502814/773772918123528242/spike_diff.gif?width=1440&height=483

Screen shot Picture from explorer: https://quanticoin.quantic.best/explorer/NENG

Just want to make sure NENG miners understand this concept of "spike". See above chart, between 14:00 to 15:00 at bottom of chart, there was a big spike, a needle pointing toward sky. Difficulty at 244,000. This difficulty was higher than DigiByte scrypt difficulty now. Now DigiByte has market cap of 265 million USD while NENG has $21,000 USD market cap. Now if 51% attacker can not double spend attack DigiByte, he/she can not attack NENG either because we have same difficulty as DigiByte now for ASIC rigs.

When spike block is mined, a 51% attack security mechanism triggered, All GPU/ASIC can mine is at this 244,000 difficulty. Either mine or walkaway. Currently there is no known loop hole or known method otherwise. Now for CPU miners on Cheetah_Cpuminer, CPU solo miners can continue to mine at diff = 0.000244

I am pretty sure there are GPU or ASIC miners around the world will try to mine at 0.000244. But NENG has this for almost two years, no known method so far. Only CPU miners on Cheetah_Cpuminer software can mine at difficulty = 0.000244.

I hope my screenshot from Quantic explorer and the explanation above on "spike", Cheetah_Cpuminer will make sense for new members. This method randomSpike is discovered by NewEnglandcoin (NENG) dev team, by me 1st time in the world. In other word, this was not known until we discovered it and implemented into NENG.

Alert for all GPU solo miners

Because spike block was mined.  It is most likely that NENG blockchain will reset to almost zero diff one day from now.  Tomorrow is likely to be the time that your GPU can solo mine NENG for millions within one day!

A Spike block was mined, at block number 2093118 :

https://quanticoin.quantic.best/explorer/NENG?height=2093118

This spike block difficulty will serve as base diff until next reset.  Now Cheetah CPU miners will dominate mining close to 100% until reset.
