Does the new wallet reset coin age?  I updated from 2.0.3.1 and was actively staking (weight 7796) when I shut down the wallet.  When I brought up 2.0.4 just a minute later, my balance shows 0, with the entire balance is in the stake column, but the wallet says I am not staking because I do not have mature coins.  Since the balance is 0, with all of the coins listed under Stake, I can't do anything with the coins, either.

that just mean u successfull minted with all ur coins
because blocks come slow until POW reactivated it will need some time until u have them back in balance (200 blocks)

as u see error-devil never sleeps
but i think our response and reaction times improved a lot

Diamond wallet version 2.0.4

The exact procedure has been outlined many times in this procedure, but I will repeat it again.

1. Make sure you have no existing Diamond installation/blockchain. If you do, move them out of the way.

2. Prepare an configuration file. The file should contain this (you can replace the connect= destination with a known good node):

listen=0
noirc=1
connect=193.68.21.19

3. Make sure the peers.dat file is deleted.

4. Run the Diamond wallet and wait until it syncs fully with the network.

5. Stop the Diamond wallet. Here, it is advisable you use the -detachdb flag or stop it with "diamondd stop true" in order to detach the database from environment. This will make it irrelevant to backup the contents of the database/ directory.

6. Copy the files blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat and database/* to a new directory, in this case with the name of the archive you will be creating. In this case dmdchainYYYYMMDD (YYYY - year, MM - month, DD - day) is used.

7. Run "zip -r9 archivename archivedir" to create an ZIP archive.

8. Run "7z a -mx=9 archivename.7z archivedir" to create an 7zip archive.

That's pretty much it. On Windows, you are likely to use GUI interfaces to these programs.

For the first time ever Chrome threw up a malware warning about the wallet. I have never had this happen with the Diamond wallet.

I ditto that. Very strange.
But this happens only when downloading from danbi's webiste. It hasn't shown the warning message when downloading from SourceForge.

That's what Google has to say:  

You attempted to download something from an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous website.
----
To help protect you, Google maintains a list of websites that are known to host malicious downloads and a list of trusted software publishers.
Google warns you if you try to download something weird or something from a dangerous website.

So, I assume the system is a bit overreactive.

Ok - crazy questions - I noticed in the last (2) days a lot of stale mints (?'s) that is.  Does this have something to do with the mining on the windows wallet issue?  As a precaution I downloaded the new blockchain and wallet as outlined above.  Just wondering if we will have an issue once pow goes active again.

I am noticing that with new wallet, clean blockchain even whole new wallet.dat/new address my wallet is only making two at most three connections when there should be four? Seems to be getting disconnected. Has one of the nodes been switched off or is my ip ban in network or is this some other issue?

I too had a similar problem, but after re-upgrade wallet, level network connection was restored.  The number of empty blocks is significantly reduced.

[tbearhere]

when pow goes active again it will be Groetsl algo again right?

everyone who still have low network connections
a blockcount that is different from blockexplorer http://dmdpool.digsys.bg/bc/
and strange wallet behavior please make sure u redownload the latest wallet
http://sourceforge.net/projects/diamonddmd/files/diamond-qt-2.0.4.exe/download
thx

Today, we have discovered that some nodes were submitting blocks that were coming from mining. Such situation shouldn't have been possible. After doing some research, we found out that Windows Diamond Wallet binary that had been published was a release candidate and not the final version. We urge you to re-download the Windows wallet, especially those people who for some reason mine; all your blocks are being rejected, you are wasting electricity and making the network unstable. This will effectively make you clients banned and could move you to the wrong fork.

By downloading the correct wallet, the wallet will repair itself and drop all wrong blocks - which ultimately would spare you redonwloading the blockchain.

This concerns only Windows (binary) users - Mac Wallet and the source are the correct versions.

We apologise for this situation; we must have been very tired already that evening after spending a few days assembling this emergency update. When people are tired all kinds of silly mistakes can happen. From now on we will be double checking the files we upload with the use of MD5.

yes
but with all the experience people gathered now at
http://multipool.bit.diamonds/
u can basically mine DMD with any major algo
with groestl direct and with a lot indirect

Yes the nodes are being upgraded, it's temporary.

Thanks, I thought I broke something. I see I'm back to four now.

Good to see that we are "ironing out the wrinkles" before PoW kicks back in   Unfortunately I am down to 1 GPU in my home ent system for mining (when I am not watching movies LOL) until I replace MB in dead mining box

Downloaded both the recommended dmdchain and new windows wallet and installed as per instructions.  Started up just fine and already synced.
