[ANN] Diamond DMD - new PoW/PoS coin | Super random blocks | Only 4.38 mil total

[Palmdetroit]

What's that all about ?

The question mark is orphan blocks, but the rest is all mined block with 0.00 value. If I check transaction details, there is a debit of 0.00 and a net amount of a negative number (they are all different).  As this looks to be the PoS mining, why I get all these transactions with a 0 value? and I got a bunch more in my wallet.  It's like I never got to succefully PoS and it's been a few months now... is this normal behavior? if not what is wrong?

Thanks

I will look at code but these are PoS blocks and I believe DMD is coded so that if stake <1 then = 0. Like some other PoS coins. In PHS you actually always get a small amount if below 1.  
But, as many p2pool users find out on other coins, you have to send in smaller transactions when you eventually move them. Here is an example of a user today with the small PoS :

Ok so basically, I don't have enauhg stake (greater than 1) so I get 0.  If I stake a bigger amount witch would result in a PoS > 0, then I should get the minted block... correct ?

Yes, so instead of having a 1 dmd input if you have say 100-1000 then you will actually get the stake > 0. Also you may want to keep wallet locked or stake generation turned off until it accumulates.

in that case is there something wrong?  I have (for a while now) over 200 DMD but still no stake...

what about locked wallet? (how do you do that?)
and since I have over 200DMD do I still have to turn off stake generation? (and if I do, how it's turned off, I don't see the command in the console)

thanks again

I have set up a Diamond Block Explorer

http://www.diamondblocks.info

It is using open source software called Abe

There are a few problems right now (coins displayed as 0.01 for example) but I will be working on fixing - also going to skin it with a real nice design soon.  Any suggestions please send them my way!

Tripmode, are you sure that it's working properly?
Address should start with letter "d"...
The amount should be 1 (not 0.1)!

I have fixed both issues. If anyone else notices any bugs please let me know.
I hope to have my graphic designer friend give this front end an overhaul soon.

That is dmdpool.net - I am going to try and fix that issue as well!

Also what I noticed is there should be an even number of coins ever created but it is not. It's also cool to look at the block and see when the "super blocks" were awarded. 30 diamond blocks are supposed to happen once a day but it seems a lot less infrequent than that.

We (dmdpool.net) have mined 3 times of 30-diamond-blocks, 11 times of 8-diamond-blocks, 59 times of 2-diamond-blocks during this first month.

My rig discovered a 30-diamond-block on dmdpool.net yesterday. It is wonderful moment to me

This is caused by the multiplication order in the code, and the payout is rounded to integer coin. To fix this, just change the multiplication order in the code and release a new version, and you will see the decimal PoS payout. A very easy fix in the code.

Well I removed the limit.  Here are some interesting stats on DMDPool:

Balance: 2037 DMD
Transactions in: 9325
Received: 9569 DMD
Transactions out: 7277
Sent: 7532 DMD

I am debating turning the limit back on as a big query has the potential to kill system resources....

this was a great coin once with a great name, hope this will get fixed up and back on an exchange rather soon.

Its name is its marketing power. Some merchants can easily accept it because it is good for their brands

The author says "It (DMD) also supports transaction comments like Florincoin, so when you send transactions to the cosmos, you and your receiver won't be lost!"

How does it work? I can find any docs that back the statement.

Also, any detail on how PoS works in DMD? Do I need to keep the wallet open for 5, 7, 10 days?

Clarification for those who requested stake information:

Code:

unsigned int nStakeMinAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7;	// minimum age for coin age: 7d

Code:

CBigNum bnRewardCoinYearLimit = MAX_MINT_PROOF_OF_STAKE; // Base stake mint rate, 100% year interest

Code:

        // Diamond: reward for coin-year is cut in half every 64x multiply of PoS difficulty
        // A reasonably continuous curve is used to avoid shock to market
        // (nRewardCoinYearLimit / nRewardCoinYear) ** 4 == bnProofOfStakeLimit / bnTarget
        //
        // Human readable form:
        //
        // nRewardCoinYear = 1 / (posdiff ^ 1/4)

        CBigNum bnLowerBound = 1 * CENT; // Lower interest bound is 1% per year

Code:

nRewardCoinYear = 1 / (posdiff ^ 1/4)

Thanks. Your information is really helpful

PS: I have another question on transaction messages: "It (DMD) also supports transaction comments like Florincoin, so when you send transactions to the cosmos, you and your receiver won't be lost!". I have no idea on how it works because I find no options in the wallet client to do it. Anyone knows about that please kindly comment here. Thanks

I don't have the wallet in this PC, but last time I hit the Send tab there was a text box at the top of the screen where I could enter any text I wanted (with a warning that this comment would be viewable by everybody).
