Bushstar's outstanding job brought the code up to date and secured it from vulnerabilities.
- The newest hashing algorithm uses blended Salsa 20/20 and Chacha 20/20, Blake2s for hashing and FastKDF. Read Whitepaper (https://ufocoin.net/neoscrypt/).
- This allows for rapid response to hash rate changes and recovery from high difficulty. Soon to be replaced by eHRC.
- This vital feature for any coin prevents transaction roll back via 51% attacks

The ufo.conf is now renamed to
ufocoin.conf since 0.9.0
Here is an example ufocoin.conf file:
rpcuser=ufouser
rpcpassword=6bjlvC5KKSjVyig5
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=0
rpcport=9888
port=9887
MINING
Please make sure that you are running NSGMiner 0.9.3 (https://ufocoin.net/resources/#minerApp) as the previous version 0.9.2 does not work with getblocktemplate.For solo mining, in your ufocoin.conf, set server=1. A good password should be a mixture of lowercase, uppercase and numbers - three classes of chars

Example config for R9 280X:
nsgminer --neoscrypt -w 128 -I 13 -o http://127.0.0.1:9888 -u username -p P4V5fgq3 --no-getwork --no-stratum --verbose --text-only --coinbase-addr BuWudvgPv9ni5iZR1yqSkqiPuvtESoLzqd
--thread-concurrency, --shaders, --vectors are not used for NeoScrypt. --intensity or -I is the primary performance optimiser. May be set between 8 and 20 according to your video card's memory size. For example, -I 16 means (2 ^ 16) GPU threads each of 32768 bytes = 2,147,483,648 bytes or 2Gb. There are some configuration tweaks available in neoscrypt.cl which might deliver a little bit of additional performance.
