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.

Cheetah CPU Mining in Windows10 Virutalbox + Linux - Bridged Networking

To install ssh server, in both Userland app linux, or virualtalbox linux desktop in windows 10, simple on linux terminal:

       
Bridged networking Linux in Virtualbox can do so much more acting as scp/ssh server. With either virtualbox linux or UserLand app linux acting as ssh/scp server, you can tar ball NENG wallet files, copy back and forth between two linux easily to save your syncing time in case you want delete all UserLand app files, and re-install. Or you want to do routine wallet back up, copy and back forth.

I recommend all windows 10 users who want to install a linux desktop in Virtualbox, try to make "Bridged adaptor" mode working, try not use "NAT".

It is OK to start out as "NAT" for virtualbox + linux desktop. But you should try to shut down linux, then change from "NAT" mode networking to "Bridged adaptor" mode networking, then reboot linux.

"NAT" mode works well acting as client. But tough or almost useless for a linux server.

24 hours Home Mining Report
10/28/2020 actually more of 25 hours.

USB ASIC solo miner, on two rotating NENG full nodes: 260k NENG.

4 core Android (8 CPU in UserLand debian linux): 200k NENG

1 cpu old linux: 120k NENG

Casual windows10 mining in Virtualbox+linux: 60K NENG

24 hours mining report

USB ASIC moonlander2 200k NENG, 4 core Android (8 cpu in UserLand Debian) : 180k NENG, 1 cpu old linux 40k NENG

Casual windows 10 mining for several hours (virutalbox + Linux ) 20k NENG

My android mining is back to close to USB ASIC number, more than 4x my 1 cpu old linux. I used --interval 10 --cpu 6 . interval 10 is the way to go. My hypothesis of slow cpu on android was right. Android can not handle fast interval because of weak cpu speed.

Mining report on last diff reset from discord
Here is discord msg on my mining results on reset yesterday for total counts:

honglu69Today at 12:33 AM
got my mining counts on last one day of reset: USB ASIC moonlander2, 7 million NENG, GPU solo (GTX 1050) 3 million NENG

1 CPU old linux 60k NENG, 4 core android 20k NENG. Casual mining, just 4 hours, 1 block in immature

My android is down a lot, almost nothing. 1 CPU linux 60000 NENG was still good. My android used to be able to mine 3x more than 1 CPU, now is less. Not sure why

Base difficulty just reset to very low level.  I just fired up my GPU solo miner. Another boom for USB ASIC and GPU solo miners

Just several minutes of mining on GPU solo mining setup, 23 NENG blocks mined:

https://preview.redd.it/8rv9h3tj0dv51.gif?format=mp4&s=b0436fa4d81ec4ab71d2eb8fbaf3430d8f3a7ec7

Every 1440 NENG blocks, or every day, NENG base difficulty is adjusted up or down just like litecoin or bitcoin.  

It has been 10 days, no base difficulty reset so far.  ASIC rigs control the base difficulty movement. In theory,  ASIC rigs can manage the NENG base difficulty smoothly, making the coin as mixture of cpu (android + computer) and ASIC dual mining coin.  It always reset base difficulty to zero in the past average 1 per week, it never happened to have no reset for long period of time. But this time, 10 days, no sign of reset yet.

In last week, there were three resets within several days, too excessive. Now we have 10 days with none reset.

ShorelineCrypto exchange should have sent you email already.  If you pay exchange listing fee of 130 million NENG, your coin will be listed there.

Hong Lu, NENG dev

We want to Listing Virtacoin VTA on your platform so advice and reply me .... we deal with you ...we send a support ticket so read and reply than we pay fee and list virtacoin here .
thanks

@krypton93

we are reviving our old NENG logo bounty project.  This project hit a wall and has been sitting idle for  a year. The bounty funding is still intact and I know you donated most of funding for the logo bounty.

We are also forming a commission with 5 members to decide the next logo.  Will you be interested in joining NENG logo bounty commission? 


Currently there are 4 board members of NENG logo bounty commission, and it is highly likely that this time we will decide a new NENG logo and award those logo bounty funding within several weeks.

Thanks

Volunteer wanted for NENG logo bounty commission
Hello NENG friends,

We are forming a minimum of 5 board members NENG logo bounty commission to launch and decide a new logo of NENG. This is timely fashion action because many members such as  Will777 in discord (reddit  sawmill777) expressed willingness to campaign in social media, but only after we community have decided on single uniform new NENG logo.

We have old existing funding for logo bounty so that this fall along very well on this effort.

Currently we already have 4 members that are willing to be decision making commission board members for the logo bounty. We are actively looking for 5th volunteer. The commission board member is not required but encouraged to submit a new logo to the logo bounty. The main task of commission board members is to do some admin stuff work to move along logo bounty project, and eventually decide one new logo for NENG for the purpose of future marketing campaign as well as to be used in new NENG software release. Logo bounty commission may seek votes on logo candidates from all NENG members, but it is expected that the decision to choose or not to choose new logo will be within the commission itself.

If you are interested in this new task, please contact '@Will777' in NENG discord or sawmill777 in reddit.

Thanks,

Hong Lu, Dev of NENG

New England clams Designed logo submitted in discord

A NENG member u/Will777 in discord submitted New England clams based logo in discord "bounty-submission" board. Will777 was media production business owner before and this logo submission reflect his first effort on NENG. Here is discord description of his submission:


All community members are welcome to take a look and join the logo bounty as much as possible.

Currently the logo bounty previous leader is gone and we are looking for reviving the bounty project. The current bounty funding is intact and we are still continuing on this activities.

Also please feel free to share and spread word on any logo to social media using the bounty-submission board content.
