I would like first of all to express my compliments to the team, managing this situation in a very professional way!

My question is: is it possible to have a simple step by step guide explaining

1) if I have DMD on Cryptsy, how will it work the transition from old to new DMD for my coins? Do I need to do anything?

2) if I have DMD on old wallet, how will it work the transition from old to new DMD for my coins? What will I need to do?

I received these questions a few times, they are very common from users when hard forks happen, so I think a simple post with these two step-by-step instructions will make it all easier to understand

1.) just wait diamonds are diamonds its not required to do anything to exchange them

2.) dont do transactions now. create a backup of ur wallet.dat

once new wallet is released follow this guide to clear appdata and old blockchain (again make sure u have a copy of wallet.dat thats they key to your coins!)

a) %APPDATA%\diamond\ (if you're using Windows)
b) ~/.diamond/ (if you're using Linux)
c) ~/Library/Application Support/diamond/ (if you're using Mac).
d)- Delete everything beside the wallet.dat be there (again make sure u have a copy of wallet.dat thats they key to your coins!)
e) start new wallet
expect a few hours to sync again with blockchain
new client have a upgraded database structure which will result in much faster starting time at launch but this change need that u download whole blockchain again to make it stored in new format
f) in case after sync finsihed and ur coins not visible stop client
copy the backup wallet.dat into the appdata folder and start wallet again

u can do this stuff wrong and lose time but
as long as u have a copy of ur wallet.dat u will never lose the coins
wallet.dat thats they key to your coins!
