When you mine Scrypt with BFGMiner, GPU mining is automatically enabled. My guess is that, by updating your drivers, you've now allowed BFGMiner to properly detect your GPUs.

To mine with BFGMiner without using your GPUs, add the following argument:

@pokeytex
hey thanks for joining us at miningfield I see you are now our top hashrate provider

I've forwarded this question onto my contacts at GridSeed and X-Hash to see if they can answer.

if someone could help please, I am looking for a clarification about whats happening with this mining thing:

hi I am a mining noob but I decided to try mining this coin on the multi pool and now I have questions

how long are the coins Unconfirmed for?

am I actually mining dmd?

my miner seems to think I have mined some dmd coins but the multipool is saying I have mined some btc

the number of btc's the pool says I have mined is not in agreement with what the mining software is reporting - whats that about?

any help about this would be appreciated 

i would not buy any GPU that cant offer the hashpower/watt ratio a 750ti have
go with 6x 750ti and sell ur 280s

a 1000w PSU is nice so u can consider also add some asic to the system later on use the same psu

@reggie0 i use 6x 750ti on that mainboard and have no penalty at all from pcie x1
example DMD groestl mining 7.5 mhash each card  x11 2.7 mhash x13 2.1 mhash

The "hidden" (*) feature of Diamond is that nothing is lost (except hashrate at pools, sorry about that). The coin mechanics is based on total coins in circulation, so this 'slowdown' just increases the mining at 1 DMD per block interval with just as much.

As we have focused initially in fixing PoS, all of the safety nets for PoS are already in place, we just postponed the inevitable fork to fix PoW. Again, this is an inherited bug, the bitcoin/ppcoin/novacoin code Diamond is based on is full of such crap. But, by slowly fixing it instead of just replacing it, as many other coins chose to do (it's way easier for developers), we preserve everyone's investment.

(*) It's funny that this feature has been explained so many times by cryptonit and everyone seems to ignore it -- understandable, as Diamond is unique in this regard, and people assume it works just like other coins.

we want in this POW less time secure network with maximum stake amount
and did ask everyone to open wallet in mint mode

u doing a great job DMD community!

its clear so many wallets in stake mode means that POS difficulty is raising
and even if amount of stake blocks is the same as before each single user have the feeling he mint less frequent

Thanks. The problem is that I'm at work without access to rigs. Will have to wait till I get home tonight.

there is no fork
the network is up and running but POS only and a bit slower transaction times
transactions and use of exchanges is save

Situation DMD Diamond POW:
A vulnerability that we fixed on POS side was by a mistake not fixed on POW code side.
POW mining is at the moment stuck we create a fix wallet in the next days
after release we give everyone a few days time to update  before POW will start to work again
once the POW reactivate trigger is reached all old wallet wont be longer part of network
and need to upgrade to be able participate again

update will be as easy as just replace the exe
no resync or anything required

we are sorry for the inconvenience this creates special for our miners
on the other side we are happy that our POS security improvement worked out as designed
and keep the coin protected and active even after a major POW issue

we invite all miner in meantime to use http://multipool.bit.diamonds/ to earn diamonds
as small compensation we increase DMD Multipool lotto reward this month to 300 DMD!

happy mining

also a big thx to all our active minters u keep the network going
so everyone leave his wallet in minting mode please

a good test of our self-regulating network security measurements
for now POS is perfectly securing the network the POS blocks are the only one stable getting accepted
by network until POW issues solved
if its a attack or another issue we will explain after we finished analysis
if u wana help make sure ur wallet is open in mint mode

update:

effects on userbase
- network is slower because pos time is slower so transactions can need a bit longer
- please mine via http://multipool.bit.diamonds/  until we give info about stabilized the POW issue and direct mining is again possible without issues

there is no fork issue and no stuck network issue
in my opinion a perfect prove that hybrid POW/POS was very valuable once again

Thanks!

So, this means I *never* transfer them or I can transfer them once I get whatever PoS they are worth?

In the second case, how do I know when the coins will not generate any more PoS?

Win & Mac wallets version 2.0.3.2 to be downloaded:

Enjoy!

Version 2.0.3.2 of the Diamond wallet has been released on GitHub.Com.

This version has two main highlights:

1. eliminates the bogus block index entries at startup which prevents the dreaded assert error. This does not modify any on-disk data, your on-disk block index may still contain garbage, but this version will start fine nevertheless.

2. resolves a long standing issue with incorrectly calculated cashes at the algorithm switch time, that still float around the network and cause various edge case problems. With this version, such block hashes are totally eliminated (using some brute force). Related to this change is some additional processing of incoming blocks, that should reduce significantly the amount of garbage that gets accumulated over time.

There are no new features in the wallet. This is strictly stability code fix, addressing these unfortunate situations.

Please note: In order to fix 2), additional hash processing has to be done. The wallet could therefore use more CPU -- although this depends on many factors and is rarely seen.


These fixes required some more extensive testing, as they involve core hashing changes. Having resolved these, we will further focus on more performance optimizations -- the bitcoin/ppcoin code contains a lot of excessive processing that can be optimized and out algorithm switch code has added some more -- so there is much room for improvement in performance. We are also working on some new features, but obviously had to postpone these until the core code is stable.

Compiled versions will be available shortly.
