Do you need some to beta test it as well. I understand that you need to be sure that there isn't any possible problem but we all know something always happens. Just keep us updated.

Yes it is coming, as was mentioned before we are in the debugging mode. We are testing all the scenarios and whenever crash happens we find the root cause and fix it. The progress we're making is rapid and we sorted out many underlying paradoxes that existed in the code. This is making Diamond not just another copy coin, but actually an improved version. Proof of Stake works (and stakes), we are testing it on the forked main chain so we are sure it's compatible with the old database (ensuring gathered coin age is preserved).

You have to understand us, that after the latest rush release (which was a flop) we are putting stability as number one priority, all the rest comes later.

What's happening with the POS update is it coming? Any updates on that.

Yes I can solo that way, but pool mining doesn't seem to work at all.  In previous posts, there are reports of a "diamond" kernel fixing things.   I believe this is the source, just need a windows binary :/   https://github.com/danbi/sph-sgminer

When you run sph-sgminer you need to specify the kernel as "groestlcoin". That should work unless something has changed with the coin since I last mined it a couple weeks back.

Waiting for wallet to sync up now so I can confirm it for you...

EDIT: Still works. Just picked off another solo block 

I downloaded that again, but it doesn't have the "diamond" kernel in it  

When it solves a block, I'm finding this in my wallet debug.log

Try updating your sph-sgminer. I had a slightly out of date version but was still mining DMD on it.

Where can i get the diamond kernel miner?  sph-sgminer doesn't seem to have it and groestl doesn't seem to work :/

trigger:
activate a change in coin rules

example:


in the case of diamond coin rollout we have a phase with high POW rewards and high POS rewards (1.05 dmd each POW block AND 50% POS (per anno))

our goal is longterm to have a coinrollout running 30+ years so it is important that our triggers who reduce POW rewards and POS rewards kick in at a special totalcoin amount

and u cant just make a excel list check how much coins exist each month and add the 50% POS (divided trought 12)
and by this estimate how the amount of total coins increase. every atempt to estimate now at which block we will reach 1500000 coins will fail

why?

because people can never mint all the theoretical coin-age
each transaction destroy coin-age which will be lost for POS rewards
and there might be some people who never go into mint mode.....
(lost wallets (computer broke and no backup of wallet.dat as example) lost passwords and so on)

so we invented the totalcoin amount trigger which will change the behavior of all wallets once totalcoins reach a trigger value
(console getinfo money supply = total coins)

this way no matter if a lot people POS their coins or a lot coin-age is destroyed and not minted into POS rewards our coin rollout speed is not affected

if less people mint the high POW rewards phase stay active longer and the total coins rollout speed stay around the same.

try calculate some of the mushroom like appearing coins and their features
u will find out lot of them stop to work in months or even weeks because POW and POS phase is over......
and a coin where no new blocks are generated is stuck..... no new block=no transactions working

diamond is having endless hybrid POW/POS network security and block generation
diamond is designed to be at least 30 years working without design changes needed
and we have lot of time to implement early enought a moneysink to make it a endless running system

shortterm people complain about not big rewards in a few weeks maybe
longterm people will complain about dev-less coins broken coins misdesigned coin-features

diamond is all about longterm and avoid all that traps


im sorry if to be able explain u the reason behind the coin design desicions maybe give reason for another questions

but i will try my best to answer follow up questions

regarding the diamond coin spec design i am the expert and i am able answer every question

they where the basic requirements for our coders

im not a coder myself and that isnt required
to design coin features and coin behavior

henry ford said:


i estimate if we would have asked people what they want the answer would be similar

"we want diamonds with more value"

what we did was to implement features that give your diamonds more value
each diamond u mine or buy now will reproduce itself in the hot coin rollout phase
at least once so basical every dmd now count for at least two DMD longterm

if ya wonder why im so silent next few days im away on a sailing trip
my foundation position was never designed as communication person

i accept ur feedback and will assign the btt communication towards dedicated person(s)
who will  maintain information flow on this channel

i take for myself the freedom to speak and post my opinion wherever i want
because i am not only part of the diamond foundation
i am also a private person with a right to speak and post

nothing can force me to post under a socket-puppet account my personal opinion

regarding update from dev team i can say that we still in testing/adjusting POS behavior in testnet.
(but this time with a copy of whole blockchain so we wont miss troubles which have their origin six months in the past)
