i love to talk in pictures 
:
u can see diamond network as a herd of sheep's with a few shepherd dogs and a shepherd
shepherd is the foundation
shepherd dogs is the network stabilization tool like permanent nodes seed nodes checkpoint wallet filter and so on
from time to times wolves try their luck and create confusion
but soon repelled by shepherd dogs
but some sheep's special if they don't stay close with the shepherd and the shepherd dogs can become victim to the wolves
long story short:
stay with our suggested conf setting and wallet upgrades
some people might suggest:
leave the sheep's on their own they will follow their instincts (base wallet code) and live and prosper
try that with real sheep's and tell me how many left after a year or two

Your description sounds more like a centralized fiat system than a decentralized cryptocurrency. In the United States, your shepherd relates to The Fed, and your shephard's dogs are the Secret Service. And that's not working that well, thus we are all interested in cryptocurrencies.
A new version of diamond needs to be released asap that fixes this genesisblock bug that Danbi and Polanskiman are citing. When a bug causes a blockchain fork, the bug that causes it must be addressed and fixed otherwise it might be hard to get Cryptsy and other exchanges to trust that it won't happen again.
The bitcoin block fork of a year ago. It was caused by a bug and fixed with a patch:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1a51xx/now_that_its_over_the_blockchain_fork_explained/
Having everyone connect to one host to get the correct block chain is a temporary measure and it will only work if the all miners on that chain hash faster than the other. This may or may not happen, and the latest news according to pallas and Atomicca regarding the falling difficulty level might indicate that danbi's chain is failing.
We need a fix for the bug asap. The longer this goes on the more money is lost.
Yes it is a description of a centralised network, but at the moment this is the only way to ensure Diamonds integrity.
Ideally there would be no time wasters who try to bring us down so we didn't have to resort to this configuration. But this is not an ideal world.
Leave Cryptsy to us, if they really fork we will inform them. It's not the first and the last time we will deal with them and anyone following this thread knows the drill.
Danbis chain is not failing, it's protected well enough to withstand whatever these time wasters throw at us.
Yes we need a fix. But the same bug is present in every percoin/novacoin besed coin. A lot of people reported it but no one came with the solution so it will involve a lot of analytical work to pinpoint the cause, but this takes time.
The link you provided adds nothing to the solution of the problem and it is something different that we're dealing with.
Jhed - stop being melodramatic as it's not helping anyone, apart from time wasters.
According to this page at peercoin, pszTimestamp is supposed to have a max of 91 chars:
https://github.com/Peershares/Peershares/wiki/Genesis-Block-(Starting-a-New-Blockchain-Instance)
But ours is 117 characters:
https://github.com/DMDcoin/Diamond/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2649
Is that the problem?
sync from Danbi node not happening. 
my wallet stuck and not syncing from danbi ... miner not receiving work
