dude where are we going with this?....if you not ready with full details i dont think you post at all
I will add content later on. I have to announce here first because after I put the code in github for wallet development days ago, some miners already jumped in and mined quite large amount of NENG at low difficulty. Announce first so that other miners have a fair chance too at early stage when the difficulty is low.

i mined some millions xD fast and easy.

The world first mobile minable decentralized coin
A scrypt coin minable for all miners (Android/CPU/GPU/ASIC)
Short clip on global empowerment decentralization movement, Nengcoin for all miners:
https://twitter.com/nengcoin/status/1407631798016696321
Nengcoin
Symbol: NENG
Nengcoin (formerly NewEnglandcoin) is a clone of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm with enhanced features to protect against 51% attack and decentralize on mining to allow diversified mining rigs across CPUs, GPUs, ASICs and Android phones.
Mining Algorithm: Scrypt with RandomSpike. RandomSpike is 3rd generation of Cheetah Effect Algorithm (CEA) on top of scrypt.
Current version: "v0.8.8.0_randomSpike-v1.7.x", shorthand "v1.7.x"
1 minute block targets
base difficulty adjustment: every 1440 blocks
subsidy halves in 2.1m blocks (~ 2 to 4 years)
84,000,000,000 total maximum NENG
20000 NENG per block at start
Pre-mine: 1% or 840 million NENG - reserved for dev fund
allocated paid: 100 million NENG for code sharing bonus to Zpool dev
allocated used: 740 million NENG for backing WNENG (WrappedNengcoin) in 1:1 ratio, custodian at SouthXchange
dev fund balance: 0 NENG
ICO: None
RPCPort: 6376
Port: 6377
Security Mechanism Against 51% Attack
Cheetah effect is a Random Spike Technology™ that was first discovered and introduced during the development of NENG. It has been proven to be a very huge success to prevent 51% attack which most coins in the crypto world are very prone to. The cheetah effect has been battle-tested and proven to be the best way to fully secure a coin network effortlessly, preventing abuses while offering a fair share of mining space for all crypto miners to fully promote decentralization.
reset difficulty = 0.000244
Cheetah difficulty on randomSpike v1.7.x version = 0.0488
Spike difficulty on randomSpike v1.7.x version = 2,440,000
The NENG blockchain auto resets to cheetah difficulty if blocks are not mined after 2 minutes. The cheetah effect can be explained by the fact that only CPU miners with Cheetah_cpuminer software can mine on Cheetah diff. Without GPU miners, NENG is fine. Without ASIC miners NENG blockchain is fine too. Without CPU miners, NENG blockchain will be shut down.
Spike difficulty are assigned randomly at 50% chance to +- 9 seconds (18 seconds windows) of previous block. When a big ASIC rig attacks NENG, a spike block is mined, the NENG algo automatically triggers 51% protection mechanism that all GPU/ASIC miners can only mine at spike difficulty until reset, essentially shutting down almost all GPU/ASIC miners (see exception below for USB ASIC solo miners) and leaving NENG minable to CPU miners only.
NENG blockchain adjust base difficulty every 1440 blocks designed for 1 day. In comparison bitcoin adjust base difficulty every 2 weeks and litecoin adjust every 4 days.
Many of Nengcoin base difficulty adjustment are gradual, meaning up or down by 20 to 50%. Sometimes, historically about in 1 week average, or in the spike block mined situation, NENG base difficulty does massive reset to reset diff (0.000244). Because of restriction of randomSpike imposed on ASICs, only GPU solo miners or USB ASIC solo miners can mine for millions of NENG within one day on reset.
Litecoin Fork - Suitable for Bitcoin Home Hobbyists
Nengcoin core wallet continues to maintain version tag of "Satoshi v0.8.8.0" because Nengcoin is very much an exact clone of litecoin plus some mining feature changes with CEA algorithm. Nengcoin is very suitable as lite version of bitcoin for educational purpose on desktop mining, full node running and bitcoin programming using bitcoin-json APIs.
The Nengcoin (NENG) mining algorithm original upgrade ideas were mainly designed for
decentralization of mining rigs on scrypt, which is same algo as litecoin/dogecoin. The way it is going now is that NENG is very suitable for
bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin hobbyists who can not , will not spend huge money to run noisy ASIC/GPU mining equipments, but still want to mine NENG at home with quiet
simple CPU/GPU or with a cheap ASIC like FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB or Apollo pod on solo mining setup to obtain very decent profitable results.
NENG allows bitcoin litecoin hobbyists to experience full node running, solo mining, CPU/GPU/ASIC for a fun experience at home at cheap cost without breaking bank on equipment or electricity.
CPU Solo Mining on Computers (Windows/Mac/Chromebook/Linux)
Because of Cheetah Effect Algorithm on top of scrypt, Nengcoin is CPU Minable. Users can easily set up full node for mining at Home PC or Mac using our dedicated cheetah software.
Research on the first forked 50 blocks on v1.2.0 core confirmed that ASIC/GPU miners mined 66% of 50 blocks, CPU miners mined the remaining 34%.
Because of high cost of electricity, CPU solo miners on computers are not expected to make profit on NENG mining. But because most of time cheetah_cpuminer does nothing other than observing and checking for suitable time to jump into mining, the usage of computer CPU resource is quite low. NENG CPU mining is very suitable as casual mining on your computer (windows10, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook) while you do your regular browsing. You can also control the usage of CPU by limiting the miner will take when it mines.
The behavior of NENG cpu miner on "cheetah_cpuminer" software is very much like a Cheetah hunting for prey in African safari. For most of time Cheetah just hide in the bush from the danger of lions. Cheetah only jump and chase small preys when timing and target is right.

CPU solo mining on Android Phones
NENG v1.4.x release enabled CPU mining inside android phones. NENG v1.5.x release is android phone mining 2.0 with a hard fork upgrade.
Android phone miners are likely to be only group of CPU miners that can achieve profitability even factor in the cost of electricity. Android phone CPU solo mining use the same software "Cheetah_Cpuminer" and "UserLand app". Please check out the android phone mining guide below:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/nengcoin/tree/master/doc/Android_Userland_App
Operation challenges for android phone specific: due to slowness of android phone arm CPU (particularly those old phones) compared to regular x64 intel/amd CPUs in computers, android phone miners might have difficulty for the NENG wallet to sync wallet, therefore mining dead chain during base difficulty reset. If too frequent "cheetah jumps" observed during reset, you might want to increase
"--interval" setting to 10 or more (meaning 10 seconds for every checking). Or simply just shut down cheetah_cpuminer and let NENG wallet to sync during reset and restart mining after reset is over.
CPU 400% Usage Bug: this was found to be happening in phones like Huawei Mate or Google Phone Pixel 4a. This bug happened
more on Nengcoin mobile mining, but also was found in Cheetahcoin android mining. The fix:
How to Fix Android phone CPU Glitches
https://www.reddit.com/r/nengcoin/comments/m9cpg1/how_to_fix_android_phone_cpu_glitches/
Dual Mining NENG/CHTA on Same Computer or Phone
Many CPU miners in PC/Mac/Chromebook/Linux or Android Phones are dual miners of Nengcoin and Cheetahcoin. This means that they mine two coins at same time in same phone/PC for more profit with no additional cost.
What's Dual Mining?
https://www.reddit.com/r/cheetahcoin/comments/md0mp7/whats_dual_mining/
Because Nengcoin has bigger memory footprint, some old PC or old phones may not be able to dual mine two coins, but only mine one Coin Cheetahcoin.
GPU Solo Mining
GPU solo mining during normal days are not profitable, may even obtain much smaller NENG rewards compared to computer or android phone cpu mining. This is because GPUs can not compete with scrypt ASIC rigs on hashrate. GPUs can not mine into cheetah diff either so that GPUs can not compete with computers or android phones either.
However, on base difficulty reset day, averaging about once per week, GPU solo mining NENG can obtain huge rewards, up to millions of NENG to be mined within one day for several hours. We regularly send out this alert in reddit/bitcointalk Ann/discord so pay attention to these alerts and jump into GPU solo mining NENG for big rewards quick.
One strategy for GPU solo mining NENG is to run a NENG full node for CPU mining in your computer. Because on reset day, CPU mining rewards is very small, you can just shut down the "Cheetah_Cpuminer" on reset day, and change to a different conf file, and then restart NENG wallet and allow your GPU solo mining NENG on this same NENG full node for big rewards. When reset is over, you can shut down your GPU solo mining, and then revert back to your normal CPU solo mining NENG on Cheetah_Cpuminer software every day.
Update on 4/8/2021: due to competition and difficulty rises, NENG is no longer minable for weak GPUs on reset. But powerful GPUs may still be able to mine NENG mainly on base difficulty reset as said above.
ASIC Solo/Pool Mining
Due to dynamic difficulty nature of Cheetah Effect Algo on top of Scrypt, solo mining is recommended for ASIC rigs. Further more,
even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big NENG mining pool because of ASIC restriction after v1.2.x version.
In general, depending the hashrate of rig, the most profitable base difficulty range is when your rig can mine at slower than 10 seconds per block. Because of randomSpike severe restriction, the lower diff is not very profitable period for big ASIC rigs. In general, ASIC miners are only doing well when base difficulty is above 1.
USB ASIC Solo Mining
USB ASIC like Futurebit Moonlander2 devices are likely to be the most profitable mining rigs on NENG. Moonlander2 do very poorly on pool mining, however on solo mining setup with two rotating full nodes setup, USB ASIC can be extremely profitable mining NENG.
Unlike big ASIC rigs, USB ASIC also can mine into cheetah diff occasionally so that USB ASIC is all around miner during reset, after reset. On reset day, Moonlander2 can mine millions NENG in one day. On normal days, Moonlander2 was found to be able to mine 200,000 to 400,000 NENG per day too.
Check out below two rotating node setup in linux/windows10:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/FuturebitMoonlander2_SoloMiner
Please note that the above two nodes scripts are for linux only. However, the same method of two rotating nodes can be setup for Windows10
or MacOS too.
Decentralization and Community Driven
Nengcoin is a decentralized coin just like bitcoin with open sourced license on coin source code. There is no boss or nor a CEO on Nengcoin. Nobody nor the dev team owns NENG.
We expect NENG community eventually will take over the coin with elected board members. Therefore, we as dev do not intend to make decision on this coin solely by ourselves. It is our expectation that Nengcoin community will make majority of decisions on direction of this coin from now on. We as dev merely view our-self as technical support and software developer of this coin while providing NENG a free listing at ShorelineCrypto Exchange at launch.

ASIC/GPU Mining Pools
Warning to Big ASIC Miners
Due to dynamic difficulty nature of Cheetah Effect Algo on top of Scrypt, solo mining is recommended for ASIC/GPU miners. Further more,
even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big NENG mining pool because of new algo v1.2.x post hard fork.
The set up configuration of NENG for scrypt pool mining is same as a typical normal scrypt coin. In other word, CEA on Scrypt algo is backward compatible with Scrypt algo. Because ASIC/GPU miners rely on CPU miners for smooth blockchain movement, checkout below WARNINGs to All ASIC miners before you decide to dump big ASIC hash rate into NENG mining.
(1) Original Dynamic Difficulty of CEA algo Warning:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48324708
(2) New Warning on RandomSpike
Spike difficulty (244k) introduced in RandomSpike served as roadblocks to instant mining and provide security against 51% attack risk. However, this spike difficulty like a roadblock that makes big ASIC mining less profitable. In case of spike block to be mined, the spike difficulty immediately serve as base difficulty, which will block GPU/ASIC miners effectively and leave CPU cheetah solo miners dominating mining almost 100% until next base difficulty reset.

A scrypt coin minable for all miners (Android/CPU/GPU/ASIC)
Short clip on global empowerment decentralization movement, Nengcoin for all miners:
https://twitter.com/nengcoin/status/1407631798016696321
Nengcoin
Symbol: NENG
Nengcoin (formerly NewEnglandcoin) is a clone of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm with enhanced features to protect against 51% attack and decentralize on mining to allow diversified mining rigs across CPUs, GPUs, ASICs and Android phones.
Mining Algorithm: Scrypt with RandomSpike. RandomSpike is 3rd generation of Cheetah Effect Algorithm (CEA) on top of scrypt.
Current version: "v0.8.8.0_randomSpike-v1.7.x", shorthand "v1.7.x"
1 minute block targets
base difficulty adjustment: every 1440 blocks
subsidy halves in 2.1m blocks (~ 2 to 4 years)
84,000,000,000 total maximum NENG
20000 NENG per block at start
Pre-mine: 1% or 840 million NENG - reserved for dev fund
allocated paid: 100 million NENG for code sharing bonus to Zpool dev
allocated used: 740 million NENG for backing WNENG (WrappedNengcoin) in 1:1 ratio, custodian at SouthXchange
dev fund balance: 0 NENG
ICO: None
RPCPort: 6376
Port: 6377
Security Mechanism Against 51% Attack
Cheetah effect is a Random Spike Technology™ that was first discovered and introduced during the development of NENG. It has been proven to be a very huge success to prevent 51% attack which most coins in the crypto world are very prone to. The cheetah effect has been battle-tested and proven to be the best way to fully secure a coin network effortlessly, preventing abuses while offering a fair share of mining space for all crypto miners to fully promote decentralization.
reset difficulty = 0.000244
Cheetah difficulty on randomSpike v1.7.x version = 0.0488
Spike difficulty on randomSpike v1.7.x version = 2,440,000
The NENG blockchain auto resets to cheetah difficulty if blocks are not mined after 2 minutes. The cheetah effect can be explained by the fact that only CPU miners with Cheetah_cpuminer software can mine on Cheetah diff. Without GPU miners, NENG is fine. Without ASIC miners NENG blockchain is fine too. Without CPU miners, NENG blockchain will be shut down.
Spike difficulty are assigned randomly at 50% chance to +- 9 seconds (18 seconds windows) of previous block. When a big ASIC rig attacks NENG, a spike block is mined, the NENG algo automatically triggers 51% protection mechanism that all GPU/ASIC miners can only mine at spike difficulty until reset, essentially shutting down almost all GPU/ASIC miners (see exception below for USB ASIC solo miners) and leaving NENG minable to CPU miners only.
NENG blockchain adjust base difficulty every 1440 blocks designed for 1 day. In comparison bitcoin adjust base difficulty every 2 weeks and litecoin adjust every 4 days.
Many of Nengcoin base difficulty adjustment are gradual, meaning up or down by 20 to 50%. Sometimes, historically about in 1 week average, or in the spike block mined situation, NENG base difficulty does massive reset to reset diff (0.000244). Because of restriction of randomSpike imposed on ASICs, only GPU solo miners or USB ASIC solo miners can mine for millions of NENG within one day on reset.
Litecoin Fork - Suitable for Bitcoin Home Hobbyists
Nengcoin core wallet continues to maintain version tag of "Satoshi v0.8.8.0" because Nengcoin is very much an exact clone of litecoin plus some mining feature changes with CEA algorithm. Nengcoin is very suitable as lite version of bitcoin for educational purpose on desktop mining, full node running and bitcoin programming using bitcoin-json APIs.
The Nengcoin (NENG) mining algorithm original upgrade ideas were mainly designed for
decentralization of mining rigs on scrypt, which is same algo as litecoin/dogecoin. The way it is going now is that NENG is very suitable for
bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin hobbyists who can not , will not spend huge money to run noisy ASIC/GPU mining equipments, but still want to mine NENG at home with quiet
simple CPU/GPU or with a cheap ASIC like FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB or Apollo pod on solo mining setup to obtain very decent profitable results.
NENG allows bitcoin litecoin hobbyists to experience full node running, solo mining, CPU/GPU/ASIC for a fun experience at home at cheap cost without breaking bank on equipment or electricity.
CPU Solo Mining on Computers (Windows/Mac/Chromebook/Linux)
Because of Cheetah Effect Algorithm on top of scrypt, Nengcoin is CPU Minable. Users can easily set up full node for mining at Home PC or Mac using our dedicated cheetah software.
Research on the first forked 50 blocks on v1.2.0 core confirmed that ASIC/GPU miners mined 66% of 50 blocks, CPU miners mined the remaining 34%.
Because of high cost of electricity, CPU solo miners on computers are not expected to make profit on NENG mining. But because most of time cheetah_cpuminer does nothing other than observing and checking for suitable time to jump into mining, the usage of computer CPU resource is quite low. NENG CPU mining is very suitable as casual mining on your computer (windows10, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook) while you do your regular browsing. You can also control the usage of CPU by limiting the miner will take when it mines.
The behavior of NENG cpu miner on "cheetah_cpuminer" software is very much like a Cheetah hunting for prey in African safari. For most of time Cheetah just hide in the bush from the danger of lions. Cheetah only jump and chase small preys when timing and target is right.

CPU solo mining on Android Phones
NENG v1.4.x release enabled CPU mining inside android phones. NENG v1.5.x release is android phone mining 2.0 with a hard fork upgrade.
Android phone miners are likely to be only group of CPU miners that can achieve profitability even factor in the cost of electricity. Android phone CPU solo mining use the same software "Cheetah_Cpuminer" and "UserLand app". Please check out the android phone mining guide below:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/nengcoin/tree/master/doc/Android_Userland_App
Operation challenges for android phone specific: due to slowness of android phone arm CPU (particularly those old phones) compared to regular x64 intel/amd CPUs in computers, android phone miners might have difficulty for the NENG wallet to sync wallet, therefore mining dead chain during base difficulty reset. If too frequent "cheetah jumps" observed during reset, you might want to increase
"--interval" setting to 10 or more (meaning 10 seconds for every checking). Or simply just shut down cheetah_cpuminer and let NENG wallet to sync during reset and restart mining after reset is over.
CPU 400% Usage Bug: this was found to be happening in phones like Huawei Mate or Google Phone Pixel 4a. This bug happened
more on Nengcoin mobile mining, but also was found in Cheetahcoin android mining. The fix:
How to Fix Android phone CPU Glitches
https://www.reddit.com/r/nengcoin/comments/m9cpg1/how_to_fix_android_phone_cpu_glitches/
Dual Mining NENG/CHTA on Same Computer or Phone
Many CPU miners in PC/Mac/Chromebook/Linux or Android Phones are dual miners of Nengcoin and Cheetahcoin. This means that they mine two coins at same time in same phone/PC for more profit with no additional cost.
What's Dual Mining?
https://www.reddit.com/r/cheetahcoin/comments/md0mp7/whats_dual_mining/
Because Nengcoin has bigger memory footprint, some old PC or old phones may not be able to dual mine two coins, but only mine one Coin Cheetahcoin.
GPU Solo Mining
GPU solo mining during normal days are not profitable, may even obtain much smaller NENG rewards compared to computer or android phone cpu mining. This is because GPUs can not compete with scrypt ASIC rigs on hashrate. GPUs can not mine into cheetah diff either so that GPUs can not compete with computers or android phones either.
However, on base difficulty reset day, averaging about once per week, GPU solo mining NENG can obtain huge rewards, up to millions of NENG to be mined within one day for several hours. We regularly send out this alert in reddit/bitcointalk Ann/discord so pay attention to these alerts and jump into GPU solo mining NENG for big rewards quick.
One strategy for GPU solo mining NENG is to run a NENG full node for CPU mining in your computer. Because on reset day, CPU mining rewards is very small, you can just shut down the "Cheetah_Cpuminer" on reset day, and change to a different conf file, and then restart NENG wallet and allow your GPU solo mining NENG on this same NENG full node for big rewards. When reset is over, you can shut down your GPU solo mining, and then revert back to your normal CPU solo mining NENG on Cheetah_Cpuminer software every day.
Update on 4/8/2021: due to competition and difficulty rises, NENG is no longer minable for weak GPUs on reset. But powerful GPUs may still be able to mine NENG mainly on base difficulty reset as said above.
ASIC Solo/Pool Mining
Due to dynamic difficulty nature of Cheetah Effect Algo on top of Scrypt, solo mining is recommended for ASIC rigs. Further more,
even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big NENG mining pool because of ASIC restriction after v1.2.x version.
In general, depending the hashrate of rig, the most profitable base difficulty range is when your rig can mine at slower than 10 seconds per block. Because of randomSpike severe restriction, the lower diff is not very profitable period for big ASIC rigs. In general, ASIC miners are only doing well when base difficulty is above 1.
USB ASIC Solo Mining
USB ASIC like Futurebit Moonlander2 devices are likely to be the most profitable mining rigs on NENG. Moonlander2 do very poorly on pool mining, however on solo mining setup with two rotating full nodes setup, USB ASIC can be extremely profitable mining NENG.
Unlike big ASIC rigs, USB ASIC also can mine into cheetah diff occasionally so that USB ASIC is all around miner during reset, after reset. On reset day, Moonlander2 can mine millions NENG in one day. On normal days, Moonlander2 was found to be able to mine 200,000 to 400,000 NENG per day too.
Check out below two rotating node setup in linux/windows10:
https://github.com/ShorelineCrypto/FuturebitMoonlander2_SoloMiner
Please note that the above two nodes scripts are for linux only. However, the same method of two rotating nodes can be setup for Windows10
or MacOS too.
Decentralization and Community Driven
Nengcoin is a decentralized coin just like bitcoin with open sourced license on coin source code. There is no boss or nor a CEO on Nengcoin. Nobody nor the dev team owns NENG.
We expect NENG community eventually will take over the coin with elected board members. Therefore, we as dev do not intend to make decision on this coin solely by ourselves. It is our expectation that Nengcoin community will make majority of decisions on direction of this coin from now on. We as dev merely view our-self as technical support and software developer of this coin while providing NENG a free listing at ShorelineCrypto Exchange at launch.

ASIC/GPU Mining Pools
Warning to Big ASIC Miners
Due to dynamic difficulty nature of Cheetah Effect Algo on top of Scrypt, solo mining is recommended for ASIC/GPU miners. Further more,
even for mining pools, small mining pool will generate better performance than big NENG mining pool because of new algo v1.2.x post hard fork.
The set up configuration of NENG for scrypt pool mining is same as a typical normal scrypt coin. In other word, CEA on Scrypt algo is backward compatible with Scrypt algo. Because ASIC/GPU miners rely on CPU miners for smooth blockchain movement, checkout below WARNINGs to All ASIC miners before you decide to dump big ASIC hash rate into NENG mining.
(1) Original Dynamic Difficulty of CEA algo Warning:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48324708
(2) New Warning on RandomSpike
Spike difficulty (244k) introduced in RandomSpike served as roadblocks to instant mining and provide security against 51% attack risk. However, this spike difficulty like a roadblock that makes big ASIC mining less profitable. In case of spike block to be mined, the spike difficulty immediately serve as base difficulty, which will block GPU/ASIC miners effectively and leave CPU cheetah solo miners dominating mining almost 100% until next base difficulty reset.
