I would suggest those suffering from this issue follow this checklist:
1. Upgrade to the latest wallet version (2.0.3) -- as a bonus you are getting the fast index feature, which besides being.. fast, helps great deal with the block index corruption (does not resolve it 100% yet).
2. Delete your peers.dat file!
3. Then make sure you have noirc=1 in the Diamond.conf file.
4. Make sure you have connect=193.68.21.19 in your configuration file. (or, later switch it to addnode=193.68.21.19)
5. If you do not run your wallet all the time (thus acting as a node for others), it might be helpful to have listen=0 in the configuration file as well.
6. Download the posted recent block chain (or sync from scratch).
So in summary, you need this in the config file:
listen=0
noirc=1
connect=193.68.21.19
The later might be addnode= instead so you get more peers from that node and be connected when it is down or unreachable. Unfortunately, that node might be banning you... because of your past behavior. We are working to make the ban duration shorter.
PS: We want to get rid of wallets version 2.0.2.1. Unfortunately, this also means we need to get rid of 2.0.2.2 as due to some error that shows itself as 2.0.2.1 too... So if you have one of these versions, *please* upgrade.
PPS: Re-arranged the steps appropriately.
Hello all from Portugal
this is my first post here
I have never write here but i read it every day, and i'm am a DMD miner / investor
But today this is getting very hard
I have two servers one for solo mining where my miners connect at 150 mhs and another machine just for staking
And my Diamond.conf is this on both machines
listen=0
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=passowrd
rpcport=1444
rpcallowip=*
rpcthreads=8182
connect=193.68.21.19
noirc=1
and today this is the second time that the mining server get's on the wrong fork
this is very bad for the reputation
A situation like this kill atheistcoin, almost kill fluttercoin
Of course my wallets are always updated
I think the most important feature for any type of currency ( crypto or flat ) is stability and the last months every week some coin got forked, it happen to me in flut , DMD , ATH , STR and so on
As an investor i already dumped 5M flut , and I'm start thinking in dump my 3000 DMD, and begin to miner and dump .
I really like DMD , the small reward , make it difficult and interesting , and the sloow adition of coin's to the network is a huge advantage .
By the way , and this is just my opinion , POS was a huge mistake it bring more problems to the blockchain than advantages , POW and high hash rate is what makes a coin secure , look a dogecoin, since the hashrate drops, people star concerning about network security price drops and i think that doge will eventualy die .
And the reason i love DMD was the groestl algo and a fixed reward of 1 DMD , POS sucks .
Since de POS switch , this coin have had many problems, and as an investor i dont like new wallets every week , it makes me nervous .
Another problem, my wallet evrey time it shut-down , i have to resync from scratch whit loadblok=blk0001.dat, that issue must be fixed asap ( again this is POS fault)
Please , focus on stability, we don’t need a fancy wallet , or fancy features , as an investor i want reliable block chain, HIGH HASHRATE nothing more.
sory for my bad inglish
Regards
Porfirio from sunny portugal
