I think I'll mine for a while longer before selling any. I want to see what the market does with them.

[flyingcat]

Yes I won't sell at this price

Do we have a block explorer?

Not yet.. I may look into that, maybe some implementation of this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Abe

I tried to add Diamondcoin to my current block chain explorer and am having some difficulties.

It seems there are complications when trying to run ppcoin based coins and regular bitcoin based coins on the same block explorer:

Code:

Opened /home/me/.Diamond/blk0001.dat
Exception at 72056513853653130
Failed to catch up {'blkfile_offset': 0, 'blkfile_number': 1, 'chain_id': Decimal('3'), 'loader': None, 'dirname': u'/home/me/.Diamond', 'id': 9L}

    (i,) = struct.unpack_from(format, self.input, self.read_cursor)

The issue is discussed here: https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe/issues/4

interesting... I think Diamond has the same code base as other PoW/PoS coins, such as galaxycoin, bottlecaps, bitgem. etc. All from PPCoin/Novacoin. But GLX, CAP, GTG have block explorers, why they work? maybe check with them?

There is a version of Abe that works with ppcoin based coins - its just that the version that works with non ppcoin coins will not work with ppcoin based coins at the same time without significantly changing the Abe code. So I cannot easily run for example megacoin and diamondcoin using the same Abe instance..

I understand, you can run two instances, thats what i do for stratum with PoS and non-PoS coins.

[rmhuntley]

sigh. Im afraid I will have to once again reveal my ignorance. What's a block chain explorer?

Its a website that shows information about transactions, and the blockchain itself.
Its more like a nice google-like browser for the blockchain.
You can search for all transactions to x address, what transactions were made on x block, that kind of things and more.

EDIT
Diamond is now listed on Coins-E

[ohiwastedmylif]

want to trade but funds are locked in cryptsy and can't access them 

[metamine]

Removed from coins-e?

[asor]

No... under maintenance...

[ohiwastedmylif]

Since coins-e is down,

anyone want to buy 250?

No does not appear to be, just bad luck with finding blocks. If you look at the two highest hashrate pools, http://dmd.minar.cc/index.php and http://diamondcoin.miningpool.co/index, and add up their combined hashrate it is about 88 mh/s. Due to the constantly changing difficulty it can make it appear that there are sudden huge jumps in hashrate.

[apbyte]

I think people are simply jumping on the train, as DMD will be listed on coins-e and difficulty just dropped

[flyingcat]

Looks fine to me
