Where can i get the diamond kernel miner?  sph-sgminer doesn't seem to have it and groestl doesn't seem to work :/  

Try updating your sph-sgminer. I had a slightly out of date version but was still mining DMD on it.

I downloaded that again, but it doesn't have the "diamond" kernel in it Sad  

When it solves a block, I'm finding this in my wallet debug.log

Code:
05/30/14 21:16:15 ThreadRPCServer method=submitblock
05/30/14 21:16:15 pindexBest = 411073pindexBest = 411073ERROR: CheckBlock() : hashMerkleRoot mismatch
05/30/14 21:16:15 ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED


When you run sph-sgminer you need to specify the kernel as "groestlcoin". That should work unless something has changed with the coin since I last mined it a couple weeks back.

Waiting for wallet to sync up now so I can confirm it for you...

EDIT: Still works. Just picked off another solo block  Grin


Yes I can solo that way, but pool mining doesn't seem to work at all.  In previous posts, there are reports of a "diamond" kernel fixing things.   I believe this is the source, just need a windows binary :/   https://github.com/danbi/sph-sgminer

You are correct. I didn't realize you were trying to mine in a pool. I went solo for about two weeks straight and that worked out well but it's no longer profitable for me with the current difficulty and market price.
