Seems like a bug in the wallet...

I've got things moving in the right direction; I opened the wallet so I could access the dmd ion in bottom right corner, clicked on icon in bottom right to "open" the miner (although the gui was not visible, but the dmd icon was shown on the task bar).
I then hovered mouse over, the small preview window came up, and I right clicked on it. I had already tried restore, so I tried maximize and it popped up.
However, I can now only view gui in full screen. I had to move my dmd files back around to get the correct ones in place because I had been trying different back ups and was losing my mind thinking I was going to lose more dmd...
I thought I was good late last night as it was syncing AND I could see it!
I was ecstatic this morning, as my most recent (last crash) disappearance of dmd was back! (Although says my entire balance is Immature) It was stuck on 3 weeks behind and I thought that was odd because it had never taken that long to sync.

As of now, at night, it is still stuck on three weeks behind. I tried to restart, rescan, and recover transactions 2, but no luck. Files are not in typical AppData folder. Additional help would be much appreciated!

Make sure you are using the latest version of the wallet - v 3.0.1.2
https://github.com/DMDcoin/Diamond/releases/
Close the wallet and add in the file diamond.conf these lines.

Code:

listen=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=50
bantime=3600
discover=0
addnode=94.130.99.25
addnode=94.130.107.224
addnode=188.68.52.172
addnode=37.120.190.76
addnode=37.120.186.85
addnode=213.136.80.93
addnode=173.212.238.176
addnode=185.82.22.33
addnode=84.39.96.180
addnode=51.254.212.133
addnode=173.212.254.4

Clean the wallet folder with blocks and make a re-sync blockchain.

If I had to pick my top three reasons for being in volved with DMD, the HELP would be 1

(most, but at least the most important) Issues resolved, thank you

(After the sync, I still lost the DMD that disappeared on my last crash, but I'd rather lose 10% than 100%) Undecided

Thank you

How can you lose DMD if you have a backup of the file wallet.dat and private key from your address? it's impossible.
But if you do not make backups and do not have a private key, you should know that this is the first step after the first start of the wallet.
This is stated in the basics of working with a wallet 8. Q: https://diamond-info.github.io/#q8

I seriously wish I knew! I have a local and external backup.

And I love this coin, for the record. This was the first coin I mined. However, I am not a cryptographer and just think it would be more helpful to understand why this happens for reasons other than Windows updates and why it can't be improved?

The only thing I can come up with is that when I mint X number of coins and before confirmed, there is an issue with the wallet. I do not check on this throughout the day, but every other day or so. My theory, (admitting that I could be way off) is that my orphaned mint is in limbo until I find out my wallet crashed; which may be 1-2 days later. I then restart my wallet, but the confirmations have passed me by... resulting in my dilemma of missing coins. (Gripping example below)

For example, lets say my wallet crashes. I last did a back up at my last mint reward. Lets say I had 10 DMD and received a reward of 1 DMD. (This is hypothetical of course). I then make a back up for my 11 DMD wallet. A week goes by and Mr Gates at Windows decides green is the new blue and pushes the "CHANGE EVERYTHING" button which causes hell for some of us who are foolish enough or forced to operate on his OS. I find out a day or two later that my computer restarted, wallet crashed, and begin the recovery process. Upon initially restoring my back up DMD wallet, it shows I have 11 DMD. These could be described as TOTAL or IMMATURE, but who cares, I still have my DMD! After syncing with the chain, I look at my DMD wallet again, maybe after a day or two, I only have 10 DMD. This situation has happened thrice.

Again, I don't know if what I am saying is completely stupid, an isolated issue, or something others have experienced. All of this comes from someone who doesn't know the inner workings, only what I've seen and learned. I am not blaming the team or the product, shit happens sometimes, but it would be nice to have a wallet that is able to restart itself or something? I remain invested in DMD and have no intention of leaving, but would like to just share what I've experienced (and hopefully receive some feedback to help me understand more).
