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.
- 1 minute block targets
- subsidy halves in 2.1m blocks (~ 2 to 4 years)
- ~84 billion total maximum coins
- 20000 coins per block at start

- 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

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)
