that is just generic code for the generic hashing functions; there is no coin implementation.
nor any proof that it is more power efficient than gpu.
if you show me that link, I'll show you one where they say there is asic for groestl:

http://www.groestl.info/implementations.html

but that doesn't mean there is an asic miner for diamond.

you should visit this website,and look around some team works,
http://cryptography.gmu.edu/athena/index.php?id=source_codes
i just told the truth,and  don't care if people believe it or not.

So I guess you are one of those, otherwise how could you know for sure?
Would you share some fpga code, then?


Show me the proof :-)
Till now I only see blah blah blah

most new algos,FPGA is made before public a GPU software,
in the beginning,a few FPGA borads fight against hundreds of thousands of  CPUs,
do you even think the hashpower was the botnet?
few days later, GPU public,everybody join in,and FPGA disappear, so you never see public FPGA miner,
FPGA exist In the legend,only few people saw it.
qurak,qubit,skein,blake,scrypt-series,X-series,hefty,prime-series, cryptonight ,,,,all have  FPGA miner.
FPGA killed darkcoin?no
DMD,is groestl algo,and groestlcoin,have FPGA miner?of course,the FPGA miner exist before the coin birthday.maybe ASIC had been prepared.

HEFTY1 algo is proved,FPGA cannot fight against GPU,but these series coins are almost dead.
true FPGA&ASIC resistance and GPU friendly coin is killed by GPU,it is really a joke.

how it comes HEFTY1 is in ur opinion more asic resistant than cryptonight?
sounds just like another algo mix similar to x11


in my opinion the cryptonight claim that high ram requirement make profitable asics/fpga unprofitable
(at least the next few technology generations) sounds very reasonable

FPGA experts proved,almost every algos are made FPGA in the world,
i know some truth you may never see or out of imagine,change algos only means change the battle field,
destroy a coin,is not the FPGA,nor ASIC
true GPU cannot rescue a coin

I belive we should stick with a well known and documented algo, with academic background, like groestl.
IMHO, cryptography is not a thing you can make in-house.

CryptoNight also have lot coins using it so profitswitching multipools are existing
so avoid fpga and asics and run into arms of multipools
is that a win?

in my opinion a specialized algo no one else run at the moment (best multipool prevention)
as base of the DMD Diamond merged mining family would be the only other option to just stick with groestl

but even we have lot skill in team create a own algo isnt one of it
and a algo is such a important part of network we dont wana make experiments

maybe we have some cryptographic expert in our community
who have the skill to modify example CryptoNight into a "CryptoBright" algo which would be DMD Diamonds new algo

if ya know people with such a skillset let them get in touch with us and explore possibilities

could you please point me to hefty specifications and/or discussion on this supposed FPGA resistance?
can't seem to find any whitepaper or algorithm description.

cryptonight is not FPGA resistance,even XPM is not FPGA resistance,
the only  FPGA resistance and GPU friendly algo is hefty

Short summary: when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging! :-)

A bit longish: You can newer 'win' over the Diamond's "official" chain. No matter how ahead you are, chain length wise. This is because Diamond has many features that prevent such from happening -- in the long term. Short term 'wins' are possible, but it's random game.

When you find yourself on the wrong chain with diamond, and you are actively mining, there are two things you can do to minimize your loss:

1. Stop mining! When the 'official' block chain grows over your fork, you can rejoin and start mining again.

2. Re-download the chain and start mining again. You could save copies of your own blockchain to make this faster (everything except wallet.dat). Or use any of the "official" backups, or just download it from the start again (worst idea). If you use someone else's backup, no matter how 'official' it is, it is always advisable to do validation of it with the wallet, as it might be tampered with in some way -- use the -checkblock=0 -checklevel=6 parameters when starting the wallet -- this will take long time, but you will know at least the things the wallet checks for are correct.

In mean time, while you wait for 1. or 2. to complete, you can always mine at the Diamond multipool (http://multippol.bit.diamonds) to not have your miners idle.

The above advice has been repeated a number of times here, as well as advice on how to configure your nodes (miner, or not) to reduce the chance of such situation happening again. Check the first post as well.

as far as I know, the only interesting algorythm is cryptonight which uses 2MB of cache for each computing unit, making it well suited for current generation cpus.
still, gpu miners exist and are almost as efficient, until someone figures out how to make them better and cpus will be out of the equation again.
such a niche algorythm could well have some flaws which, if discovered by a large fpga farm or asic maker, will make it useless.

This is being discussed now, and should be valuable to discuss here as well.

The main issue with algorithm switch is it will again return everyone in square 1. Our switch to Groestl demonstrated that miner software authors are sometimes hesitant to implement new code (sometimes not). If we decide to switch the algorithm again (not a problem, for the wallet/blockchain as we know now), we need to be prepared for that as well. Oh, and the pools need to figure out how to support the new algorithms

The other, much more difficult question is what would that other algorithm be?

This question is hard, because good crypto algorithms are also developed to be cheap to implement. Which makes them very good candidates for ASIC/FPGA type acceleration. About the only way to make it more CPU/GPU friendly is to require addressing large amounts of memory -- which makes it way more expensive to do in a cheap ASIC/FPGA, but also sometimes favors specific GPU architecture.

DMD Cloudmining investment update:
now at 11th november already more new investments created than in whole october
lot of them are investments of people who already own shares

hmmm why this happens?
might be they discovered it works and it works good?

u seem to have lot experience

but i have a hard time to understand ur vote

i read it correct and u say change nothing?

seems a big gpu farmer wanna join DMD,but it is very hard to get a lot of diamonds,
FPGA,ASIC scared you?
as BTC,LTC,DRK, when the FPGA join in,the diff rise 5x or more,when the asic join in,the diff rise 50x,then you saw the market to the moon.
i kept mining DMD using 3GH ,solo mining,and monitor everyday,i have got thousands of diamonds,but never sell one.
when i join in,the diff is 90,few days later,it rise to 250+,and drop to 180,  150,it was 110~180, average is 140.
2 weeks ago ,when the price jump,i checked the max DMD net hashrate,it was 35GH,are you scared?

i saw 28GH on groestlcoin ,40GH on myr-groestl, 30000G on MAXcoin,100G on darkcoin,80G on heavycoin.

heavycoin,the hefty algo was proved by FPGA experts,it is true FPGA&ASIC resistant,but what happened to these coins?
HVC,MNR,MLS,have you see the true GPU coin?they were killed by large GPU farmer who pay low fee electricity.

multi algo is not good idea,MYR,SFR,DGB,are examples.

it is not good idea to change the rules frequency,it is more centralization

QFT!


DMD Cloudmining http://multipool.bit.diamonds/

With Diamond Cloud Mining there is no need for any kind of mining equipment, just one-time investment which will be transformed into sharepower. Based on sharepower, 70% of Diamond Cloud Mining earnings are paid out in the form of DMD Diamonds, straight to your personal Diamond Wallet. Once a month, the saved 30% of total earnings will be used to increase hashrate of Diamond Cloud Mining and the $ value of that reinvestment will be split between share-holders as free reinvested shares.

This is my thoughts regarding the FPGA and ASIC issue.

First the small miner (<100 Mhash) perspective. A "quick and dirty fix" is something I would have liked to be implemented a long time ago against the large GPU farms that have stepped into the Diamond arena. However, ”quick and dirty” seldom becomes a good option. There will always be somebody who is bigger than you, have more money than you, have more hashrate than you, and so on, and I have learned to accept that. For me as a small miner it doesn’t matter if FPGAs or ASICs enters the scene. The fun of mining this coin is already over.

Then we have the environmental perspective. Presumably a FPGA uses less electricity than conventional GPU cards, and is also programmable for different purposes. The ASIC is even more power effective but is only produced for its special purpose. Therefor these two alternatives could have a less burden on our environment than GPUs. For example, the power consumption of a 290 card is about 200 watt, and if you have a gpu farm with 60 cards doing 1500 Mhash total that is a power consumption of 8640 kWh each month. That is half of my entire house’s energy consumption in a year (heating included). From an environmental perspective the FPGA and/or ASIC could be a better alternative compared to GPU cards.

Finally the DMD Diamond perspective. ASICs can be rather expensive to buy, and GPU farms draw a lot of power (8640 kWh equals 1000$-1200$/month), with the FPGAs probably landing somewhere in between. Regardless of the three options people will have to sell off DMD to finance their investment and power cost. That could affect DMD price negatively, if not DMD buy demand and coin rollout plan can handle it.

ASICs, FPGAs, GPU farms or whatever, now is the time to invest in DMD Cloudmining to counter those effects.

i think its a good way to promote towards investors
people who invest by fulfill loan request might be also interested to invest in DMD Cloudmining

so positive comments and references to my BTCjam account would be welcome

that for sure we dont.....
if we decide to act it wont be quick and dirty

stability and security are one of dmd main features

we not called dschango-coin
that would be a quick and dirty mindset
