Testnet 1st Try v1.5.x Android Mining Scaling Results
Here are the results on the last overnight run.
Miners: two Cheetah cpu miners with cheetah_cpuminer software, no ASIC, no GPU, testnet only.
1 PC miner: 3 cpus in a linux within virtualbox of window 10.
1 android phone miner: 4 core android phone, --interval 10 --cpu 6 flag, using 6 cpu threads out of total 8 cpu threads in UserLand linux.
Total mining time: 14 hours
Total blocks mined: 18 blocks.
Average block time per block 46.7 minutes per block, or 44.7 minutes per block excluding the 2 minutes wait time. Cheetah_Cpuminer does not mine until after two minutes of waiting.
3 cpu linux mined 8 blocks or 44% of total blocks
Android phone mined 10 blocks or 56% of total blocks
Conclusion
v1.5.x hard fork separating cheetah diff from reset diff is success on testnet. The android phone outperformed three CPU linux while currently the same android phone under-perform 1 cpu old linux. This shows that the method works as solution for scaling up android phone mining as hardfork upgrade.
Average of 45 minutes per cheetah block on 1 phone + 1 PC setup may be too slow for actual v1.5.x code base. This needs to be worked on for more testing later on. The theory and method is tested well and proven to be working.

Base diff reset to low level, boom for solo GPU/USB ASIC miners
Base diff reset to low level earlier today, another boom for solo GPU/USB ASIC miners.
Just started my GPU solo mining, Nvidia GTX 1050, NENG rains comes on ccminer:

1st try of testnet on new cheetah diff
arm64 binary compiled for new testnet code.
First try of overnight run on testnet on v1.5.x on cheetah diff = 0.0078, 4 core android plus 3 CPU linux in virtualbox of windows 10. Both are on cheetah cpuminer, no GPU, no ASIC. Just see how both cpu miner will perform on this v1.5.x new diff on testnet.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
