Found one issue after the hard fork, the original plan was to raise the spike difficulty level within 3 seconds to the level of dogecoin. The current dogecoin difficulty is about 2 million,
litecoin difficulty is about 7 million.
However, the v1.2.0 math is off by 10x. My mistake. The spike difficulty is only 1/10 of dogecoin level. Here is screenshot I obtained on the small ASIC rig that we ran. Below screenshot is from either Findblocks or Miners.rocks pool. We actually tested on both pools and got similar screenshot like below:
https://ibb.co/k0xYgGT
Note in the screenshot, the mining pool said "Network difficulty changed to 244k". The desired result is 2440k.
ASIC mining pool should set difficulty to the base level, which is 16 or 25 whatever, probably several orphaned blocks got ASIC pool confused and used the 3 seconds spike difficulty instead.
Whatever, this tells us that the spike difficulty is only at 0.2 million level, one tenth of dogecoin, or 3% of litecoin difficulty level.
On the otherhand, NewYorkcoin current mining difficulty is 928. The NENG spike difficulty is 263x larger than that of NYC. This issue is not so urgent to fix. We will table it for now
and do a bundled security upgrade in 2019 Q2 together with other issues TBD.

Good evening, what is and where do I find "rpcuser" and "rpcpassword"?
Thanks
Thanks
In the cheetah software folder, there is file named "newenglandcoin.conf-example", renamed it to "newenglandcoin.conf",
use an editor to modify it, windows would be "wordpad", in mac, not very familiar, maybe macedit or TextEdit?
Change the first two lines of the files to a more personalized randomized rpc password / username:
-------------------------
rpcuser=dfas7860
rpcpassword=Fdsf9er9wqr90Fdf
--------------------
Do not use my above example, just type in some random charaters + numbers for username/password so that only you know them.
The miner works in other coin too or only in NewEnglandcoin?
For now only NewEnglandCoin. If more coins adopt similar dynamic diff algorithm , the miner could support more in the future.
At this moment ,. CPU miners probably takes 5% to 20% of total block reward, averaging about 10%. Majority of blocks reward still go to ASIC miners.
If this is mined by ASIC miners, does it even make sense for anyone else to compete with that specialized mining hardware?
Please check out the whitepaper v1.0. Our recent research on 50 blocks after fork confirmed that CPU miners (window, linux or mac desktop/laptop miners) obtained 36% of block rewards, ASIC only mined 66% of block rewards. CPU mining rewards are significant.

v1.2.0 Hard Fork has been major success!
Research on first forked 50 blocks confirmed that shortest block time was 4 seconds. Essentially fast block time or instant mining has been stopped. Historically, fast blocks would
be 1 in 20 blocks , some times 1 or 2 blocks within 10 block stretch. The dynamic diff algorithm implemented in v1.2.0 is working.
Of the first forked 50 blocks, 17 blocks were mined by CPU miners, 33 blocks were mined by ASIC or GPU miners. In other word, the first 50 blocks under new algorithm, ASIC/GPU miners got 66% of total rewards, CPU miners obtained 34% of total rewards. Ratio split on ASIC/GPU/CPU miners are not constant, could be subject to changes depending the difficulty and mining rigs distribution. However, this 66/34 split of rewards is within expectation of our original plan for the v1.2.0.

trading and wallet are offline in ShorelineCrypto exchange because of hard fork. They will be restored after successful hard fork.
February 16, 2019, 11:46:41 PM
400 blocks to go before the fork. It looks that the fork will happen in early morning of Feb 17 New England local time, or U.S. Eastern Time.

Cheetah_cpuminer v1.1.2 is released at github. This version added additional support for Mac platform.
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/cheetah_cpuminer/releases
README Document:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/cheetah_cpuminer
What is Cheetah_Cpuminer?
NewEnglandcoin (NENG) blockchain has dynamic difficulty adjustment algorithm which may trigger ASIC miners to get stuck on NENG blockchain finding no blocks from several minutes to several hours.
Cheetah_cpuminer will automatically start mining at local PC when ASIC miners get stuck. Cheeta_cpuminer will stop mining when ASIC miners are smoothly generating blocks
v1.1.2 is tested under Windows 10, Mac OSX 10.11 and Ubuntu Linux 16.04

v1.1.2 is tested under Windows 10, Mac OSX 10.11 and Ubuntu Linux 16.04
Obviously current version of cheetah_cpuminer does not support Mac platform yet. With the new release of Mac wallet, cheetah support for OSX will come soon.
Mac Wallet for both GUI and command line are released in v1.1.2:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/NewEnglandCoin/releases
The MacOS wallet was compiled in OSX 10.11 machine with backward compatibility with OSX 10.7 or higher. Only OSX 10.11 was tested, but other platform may work as well.
To compile your own MacOS wallet from source, check the doc guidelines on how the current Mac wallets were compiled:
