Cheetah_cpuminer v1.0.0 is released at github:  
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/cheetah_cpuminer/releases

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

v1.0.0 is tested under Ubuntu linux 16.04
window platform is untested. Cheetah under window operating system will be supported in next release.

Thanks for the update here.
you are right but today i dont have access to my ASIC machine.
But with my 4 cores yesterday i only get 100 000 NENG.

CPU mining for today is over probably.  my 4 core CPU linux  could not find any block in 30 minutes with continuous mining.  I stopped it. 

Alpha version of Cheetah in my old 2 core linux PC is restarted.  Cheetah now does nothing and won't start CPU mining until the block chain time is 2 minutes or more.

The rest of today probably is 100% ASIC world. 

My small ASIC USB stick (5 m/h hashing rate) is getting 9 blocks in 10 minutes in the pool.  It yielded more than 7 million NENG today while the past 6 days in the week only got  2 blocks per day or 300,000 NENG only.  Truly a huge day for ASIC miners.

Right now my 4 core CPU PC continuously mined a block in every 20 minutes.  No cheetah,  just continuously mining with "setgenerate true" in wallet

The CPU mining opportunity is there, but dynamic,  some day poor, some day high based on the difficulty and relationship with ASIC miners.  Today is big day for ASIC miners, huge
reward.  But yesterday majority of rewards went to CPU miners.

The group base difficulty for every 1440 blocks will reset higher or lower targeting 1 minute per block.  Check out discord, there were huge conversation on today's action on block chain movement, ASIC vs CPU.  

Cheetah is needed to help CPU mining when the base difficulty gets very high

That means no future for cpu mining ?

By end of this week.  The block default difficulty is reset now to a very low number.  ASIC miners are getting huge amount of blocks. 

Cheetah won't help CPU mining now until the default group difficulty is reset to much higher number next time.

When this cheetah cpu miner tool is releasing ?

Thanks a lot.

I assume you did the solo mining from PC wallet (linux or window).  Yes you own those coins if it is in your wallet.  Mined coins have different addresses.   They show up initially as unconfirmed or immature. I think roughly after ~ 120 confirmation,  the mined coins will be available to you to spend or trade at the exchange now.

Only pool mining (mainly ASIC miners) have fixed receiving address on NENG.

My wallet balance shows that i have some coins.
but when i see transactions it is showing different addresses.
and blocks are confirmed.
 like for every coin that i get from mining it shows different address. but i generate only one receiving address from my wallet.


I dont understand.
is the wallet balance is correct and i own all those coins ?

When are you guys planning to launch your website?
I can Help you

OK,
When this cheetah cpu miner tool is releasing ?

You are doing very good on CPU mining NENG.   

OK Got it.

Revise my statement above.  Henry in DISCORD claimed that he cpu mined NENG by running his PC wallet continuously.  I never knew this and my limited test indicated that PC Wallet could get stuck too on NENG block chain if the wallet is mining NENG all the time.  I could be wrong and Henry is right.  Of course,  keeping running PC wallet mining NENG cost a lots of money.  When ASIC are churning normally on NENG,  CPU miners have no chance.

For now, do not bother with solo mining with  the wallet in a server type mode.  When cheetah cpu miner tool is released, a sample  NENG config file will be included as  json-rpc  API is used by cheetah software.

For now cpu mining NENG,  just use the QT wallet (window or Linux).  Do not run wallet constantly because you won't find more blocks and it will also get stuck by the dynamic hashing algorithm. Follow my post here that type a few word to mine NENG when the block chain is stuck, and  type few words to stop CPU mining when the ASIC miners are pounding loud.

how to do solo mining?

i made a conf file but dont know what to add to node ?
kindly check and tell me if i made it right

rpcuser=rpc_enguser
rpcpassword=*password
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=3440
listen=1
server=1
addnode= ??

digestion of transcripts from DISCORD channel conversation on the past several days of NENG blockchain issue on  Tue Dec 12, to Wed Dec 13, 2018:

ASIC are stuck non stop last 2 days .  i mine with 150 mh only


honglu69 Last Saturday at 11:54 AM
Yes, I noticed that. ASIC got stuck frequently now.
I only mined one or two blocks. Most non ASIC blocks were mined by others, I guess CPU miners.

henry Last Wednesday at 7:54 PM
what plans do we have to get this coin accepted at businesses in the new england usa area.
i'd love to help once i know you're comfortable with website mining pools exchanges etc.

honglu69  Last Wednesday at 8:09 PM
@henry because NENG is decentralized coin with no boss. Just take my opinion as one member proposal, not necessarily the fact of path forward.
I forsee NENG to have similar org like NYC, to have some sort of community election group to control neng future.
Community then will have mass marketing action, maybe regular  meeting in New England area , a meetup

henry Last Wednesday at 8:09 PM
is the blockchain hung? i'm still loading from 4 hours  ago.

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:10 PM
Blockchain is fine. It does require CPU miners to smoothout
I will come back mine some blocks with PC window 10. ASIC gets hung all the time

henry Last Wednesday at 8:13 PM
ok. thats some good ideas.

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:15 PM
We will release new tool upgrade soon. The tool will automatically mine neng when ASIC stuck, stop mining when ASIC is good

henry Last Wednesday at 8:16 PM
ok.
i get confused whe nyou tal kabout it being stuck, as it seem my asic doesn't stop hashing and getting accepted hashes

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:17 PM
When this tool called cheetah is done, I will run one version of CPU miner in Linux pc
@henry you know ASIC miners are stuck when 3 minutes past with no block

henry Last Wednesday at 8:18 PM
looks like 5 hrs so far

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:19 PM
OK， I was busy with other, not aware of 5 hours of no block. I will come back to mine one block with window 10 wallet

henry Last Wednesday at 8:21 PM
if i set up a rig running on the network will that find the block s when rig gets stuck, or do i need to do something
special

i mean, whe nasic gets stuck

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:22 PM
@henry current only PC Linux or window 10 can mine block when it is stuck
I think GPU gets stuck too. Mainly the software has assumption in difficulty, they think it is fixed number. But it changed after 2 minutes of no block

henry Last Wednesday at 8:24 PM
i have a win 10 machine i ca nsetup to just run  cpu against the neng bc, will that help if i just keep it running ?
honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:25 PM
@henry It will, but tedious manual labor work. You can follow my guide in bitcointalk Ann how to CPU mine
CPU wallet needs to stop mining when the chain is normal. Only start when it is stuck
For a 4 core window 10, it takes about 6 minutes to mine a block when bc is stuck
henry Last Wednesday at 8:28 PM
im trying to stop the loss of 5 hours of ming whe nits stuck since i dont watch all of my machines very closely all the time.

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:28 PM
For a 2 core Linux pc, I think it takes 10 minutes to mine a block when bc is stuck

henry Last Wednesday at 8:28 PM
was hoping if i had the cpu on all the time it would keep the asic going.

honglu69Last Wednesday at 8:28 PM
@henry:thumbsup:

henry Last Wednesday at 8:29 PM
my wallet is definately stuck at 4 hours

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:31 PM
Last time the bc was stuck for 5 hours, I woke up in the morning and used CPU and mined one block
I think how long ASIC or  GPU will stuck on neng is unpredictable. NENG is CPU minable coin and rely on CPU to have smooth blockchain

henry Last Wednesday at 8:35 PM
so, you dont want us mining it with an asic ? just our cpu's ?

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:37 PM
Because of almost death of NENG on NOV 20， I do not think neng will go back to old days, a 100%  ASIC coin

henry Last Wednesday at 8:38 PM
i'm good with whatever you choose, but i thought it was ok to use my asic and my gpu rigs - and will stop if you only want to make sure cpu minable is only way to be done.
i have  a few cpu rigs i can setup here just need to knw i'll find blocks if i spend the time to set the mup.

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 8:39 PM
No need to stop ASIC, My intention is not to forbid ASIC or GPU, just s limitation.

henryLast Wednesday at 8:39 PM
ok colio.

honglu69Last Wednesday at 8:41 PM
The end goal is decentralization, and security against  hack, particularly risk of 51% attack.
The planned upgrade in next two quarters is likely to limit ASIC more, but not forbid ASIC .

honglu69 Last Wednesday at 9:09 PM
NENG blockchain should be normal now. I mined one block with 4 core CPU in Linux
