What is Nengcoin?

Nengcoin is a clone of Litecoin 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.

  • subsidy halves in 2.1m blocks (~ 2 to 4 years)
  • ~84 billion total maximum coins
  • 20000 coins per block at start

Major releases features:

  • v0.8.7.5 litecoin clone, ASIC dominant mining
  • v1.1.x Support CPU Minings on Windows, Linux or MacOS
  • v1.2.x Start restrictions on big ASIC rigs
  • v1.3.x Scrypt randomSpike release
  • v1.4.x Enable mobile mining on chromebooks and android phones
  • v1.5.x Android phone mining 2.0, cheetah diff 10x
  • v1.6.x Fix CPU Timestamp Attack, cheetah diff 3x
  • v1.7.x Fix CPU/FPGA Timestamp Attack, cheetah diff 6x, spike diff 10x
  • v1.9.x Fix the 51% attack on SXC, cheetah diff drop 20%, spike diff decrease 10x
  • v2.0.0 rebased off litecoin core v0.13.3 on v1.9.x randomSpike
  • v2.1.0-1.10.x Fix the 51% attack on SXC, bitcoin 2 hours rule to 2 minutes, cheetah diff drop 8x, spike diff cut in half
  • v2.2.0-1.11.x Reverse 51% attack on SXC. cheetah diff rise 5%
  • v2.3.0-1.12.x Future timestamp 30 seconds rule, cheetah diff drop 5%, 3 CSV BIPs enabled, Segwit BIPs Disabled
  • v2.4.0-P13x Rolling 96 Blocks Deep Reorg Protection, cheetah diff drop 20x, spike diff rise 2x

Current full version name: "v2.4.0_randomSpike-P13x" Note: All users/miners are recommended to use v2.4.0. Solo miners on USB ASIC/ASIC are no longer recommended to use v1.13.1 because of soft forks enforcement. Because now v2.4.0 are built with static linked wallet, macOS are fully supported (x86_64 wallet, but should work too for M1 chip)
