Not everything that seems good at the beginning is good in the long run. We had to evolve in order to reflect the needs of the contemporary market. With the old specification the coin would stop working just after several years while with the improved mechanics it will last at least several decades.

Diamond Coin from the start has been based on the premise of fairness. With the latest update, we as developers, did our best to make sure everyone could have their fair chance to participate in coin distribution.  Crypto community as a whole has expressed their concern to the arrival of ASICs that pose threat to fair and wide distribution of coins. We’ve heard your voices and acted upon.

We have decided to change algorithm from Skrypt to Grøstl which is ASIC resistant and much more power efficient solution. This important change will be particularly appreciated by the ordinary miners who will notice significant reduction in power draw and generated heat associated with mining.
