aby idea why GRS cpu miner dont work on DMD?
Dear Diamond developers, miners, community!
I think that it is a problem that even though Groestlcoin and Diamond are using the same hashing algorithm, the miner applications are not compatible.
It is creating confusion for the miners. The change in the stratum mining code is trivial, but you'd have to do it and recompile a miner every time it is updated.
Also, I believe this will make it difficult (impossible?) to do merged mining in the future.
I think that it is possible to fix this situation now, when there are no exchanges, just a single pool and low network hashrate.
You can make a fork and switch from sha256(sha256()) to groestl512(groestl512()) in block hash.
That will make all miners compatible.
Thank you
srcxxxwelcome to our sisters and brothers from groestlcoin!
thx for step in here and share ur opinion srcxxx
i will try answer from my point of view regarding this topics
MINERsph-miner will add -k diamond as a standard switch into code
and all their new miner releases will be compatible with diamond
same will happen for most other mining software (i think there is already a diamond combatible cpu miner and nvidia sure on the way also)
TRANSACTION HASHINGregarding hashing u seem to mix up something
both our coins use the same great block hashing mechanic groestl512(groestl512()) powersaving cool and silent
but regarding transaction hashing we did stay coin standard methode sha256d which nearly all coins use (bitcoin standard method)
groestlcoin did for some us not known reason change it to sha256
so basical while -k groestlcoin need two special adaptions in miner software (block algo AND transaction hashing method) -k diamond need only groestl algo activated and beside that stay standard
MERGED MININGregarding merged mining only block hashing is reused so our transaction hashing incombatibility wont affect this possibility
i hope u understand that in our opinion a possible cooperation and mergemine partnership is in no way related to transaction hashing
and we dont want to hardfork for that reason
but we are interested to hear opinions of our community regarding this topics too
feedback is like always welcome
