Yes this looks correct, PoS is not turned on just yet, but soon, so keep your coins ready.



1.03 was just fixing connectivity and newer CPs . I'll send a PM

I have archived the old block chain etc and here is the last block from debug.log:

03/13/14 21:23:56 received block 00000000693c85858ae0
03/13/14 21:23:56 SetBestChain: new best=00000000693c85858ae0  height=322480  tr
ust=34413680427  date=03/13/14 21:23:44
03/13/14 21:23:56 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED

The old client was 1.0.2.

What I did was to delete the old block chain and download again...
The wallet seems to have the same amount now, but doesn't seem to initiate any PoS

So are you saying we might have an incompatible fork now?

EDIT: I have successfully updated some 1.0.3 wallets to 1.0.4, so it might be some issue with 1.0.2 to 1.0.4? Neither wallet does PoS now, even though they have coins since December 2013 in there.

Ok that is the block with the last major fork fix, will look into it now.

Have you been fully synced before and on the correct block ie 322502 ish?

You may be on the fork

Please go console > debug and type and compare result

Tried to update one walled to 1.0.4 and god this:

03/13/14 21:26:17 Loading block index...
03/13/14 21:30:00 ERROR: CTxDB::LoadBlockIndex() : Failed stake modifier checkpoint height=197195, modifier=0xa4f3e3edb95cc5cf
Diamond: Error loading blkindex.dat
03/13/14 21:30:00 Diamond: Error loading blkindex.dat

Any ideas?

So everyone here is what i can tell you exclusively from my pools experience and not from real code analysis.

To "disable" PoS, the only way I could find with the help of Palmdetroit, was to add a config option to .conf file that will reserve an amount to be available all the time, thus it wont get into stake, meaning that if reserve all our balance, we won't stake and so disabling PoS minting on our client.
You just have to add this line to the .conf file where you set rpc username and pass, server, listen, etc. And restart your client.


the "9999999" is just a big number, any number greater than your balance will do, normally i go a few millions high but just below max coins just to be safe.

I will get a full valid .conf file and post it here so you can use it as a guide.

TL;DR


To disable PoS Minting on your client

• Add this line to the end of your .conf file:
  

• Restart your client.

Looking forward to PoS. I don't hold many other than what I've mined, so it should be interesting seeing a PoS coin firsthand.

I confirm the above information.

PSA
I have been asked by user PopShot to enable Checkpoints which will enable PoS.
 
What this means to DMD:
This will resolve the error messages and allow PoS to resume.
PopShot has generated a CP key, known only to him.
Check-pointing apparently was never enabled in DMD since release so this may cause some issues when PoS is turned on
Potential issues can be reduced or avoided with everyone updating to newest wallet/client/ (to be posted soon!)

It's recommended pools and exchanges turn of PoS using the reservebalance or other method during this transition(pool op Minar can elaborate).

5k out of total of over 4 million doesn't make that person a whale. This coin wasn't premined nor instamined and since its original release no reward had been halved. I see no wrong in someone buing in while cheap,  the market is open 24/7 to anyone and anyone can make the same decision. Some don't and then bitch about it. Just let the strongest coin survive.

There's nothing wrong with speculating, I used to do it all the time but found this too time consuming. If you're good at it then good for you Just Diamond is not the best coin for speculation, high volume coins are way better with consistent returns.

Yeah yeah I  get your argument which had already been answered in the previous post.  


Are u? He's making a valid point while you bring nothing but unstructive criticism.

i know one guy that was holding 5k, dunno now what he did with those

yeah i'm a speculator, i'm speculating on every coin, usually i end up doing well

Go to cryptsy and you can see both "bright futures" the coin had. First spike in August and the second one around December , that had more to do with bitcoin than the actual coin.
What I can see from the start of the year , continuous decline.

Digicoin:


This? are u 4 real?

Diamond - what's a nice name 

Woow.. I'm blown away by your thorough analysis and deep knowledge of the subject. I'm sure you went through Block Explorer and identified all those big stakeholders so desperately wanting to dump and I'm also sure you have access to developers area so you know exactly what's going on.

By the language you use I'm pretty convinced you are a speculator and possibly a troll. Sorry to break it to you,  but Diamond is a deposit coin and not so great for quick buck speculation. ;(

I really like your comment   it's funny indeed.

However, by referring to price of DMD from August you've just proven you have not that much experience of how things in cryptos work -  either that or you've never paid close enough attention to the market -  for sure though you don't know history of this coin. I could give you countless (metaphorically speaking) examples of coins increasing in value just after the launch and crashing afterwards.. Situation from August has nothing to do with what's going on now. If you haven't noticed Diamond coin had been reactivated in December so it's a new start for it. In November Diamond was virtually dead and worth almost nothing so maybe lets compare more appropriate periods of its evolution to say something about its bright future.
ONE of the reasons the price we currently have is a result of constant PoW mining and miners selling on automatic on cryptsy. It's a constant suppression which has consequences. PoS is disabled at the moment but we should see a steady surge once its improved version is activated. There are other things that influence price but I see no point in explaining it here.

It did took a while to assemble a competent team who will push the project forward. All I can say here are the same words digicoin has used.

I'm sure you will now come up with some smart comment on how you know all this and that,  but the time will prove none of that matters.. Diamond will shine regardless.

no, was a shitty coin anyway, revived one are always like that, some big stackholder want to dump and try desperately to revive it

Nice first impression you had about the coin! Did it change?

That's  not the situation here.
The coin had a somewhat bright future , if i can see that without being ironic =))) , but it failed miserably.
August 0.005  March 0.0005 , indeed , bright future.

Wait , a new page needs to be turned in the history of the coin.... because it's on page two on coinmarketcap =))))))

I keep adding a few diamonds to the collection now and then. I like the name... who can have a crypto portfolio without diamonds in.
