Does anyone know of any other Diamond pools I can use as a back up that are good?
You can also use a miner that supports stratum. I've been using one to access Danbi's stratum server instead of the http server.
Here's where I found it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652849There is a Windows build available. Set your miner configuration to point to: stratum+tcp://dmdpool.digsys.bg:3333. You will need to create a .bat file, or set up a config file. It has Diamond v2.0 support built in. You need to make these modifications:
Use the switch "--normal-hashing true" in place of "--difficulty-multiplier 0.00390625". Use the "groestlcoin" kernel (or re-name it to "diamond"....both work the same).
It's all been working for me without any issues.
