I'm quite new to bitcoin, hodlcoin etc networks but I'm trying to learn more.

Looks like there is no DNS Seeds. Hodlcoin wallet has hardcoded "DNS seeds" but those seeds are actually just nodes. Only westcoast.hodlcoin.com and eastcoast.hodlcoin.com are working.
Code:
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("westcoast.hodlcoin.com", "westcoast.hodlcoin.com")); //West Coast
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("eastcoast.hodlcoin.com", "eastcoast.hodlcoin.com"));//East Coast
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("europe.hodlcoin.com", "europe.hodlcoin.com")); //Europe
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("asia.hodlcoin.com", "asia.hodlcoin.com"));//Asia
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("174.140.166.133","174.140.166.133"));//Hodl-lay-yee-hoo
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("54.201.171.55", "54.201.171.55"));
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("54.213.104.91", "54.213.104.91"));


DNS seed should give a list of node addresses like bitcoin dns seed seed.bitcoin.sipa.be.
Code:
nslookup seed.bitcoin.sipa.be
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    seed.bitcoin.sipa.be
Addresses:  2001:0:9d38:6abd:281a:362b:a05a:69a4
          2002:d2d3:6da5::d2d3:6da5

If node is listening incoming connections you should get a response from port 1989. This can be tested by tcping https://elifulkerson.com/projects/tcping.php .

Code:
C:\Windows\system32>tcping westcoast.hodlcoin.com 1989

Probing 96.44.157.195:1989/tcp - Port is open - time=200.919ms

Ping statistics for 96.44.157.195:1989
     4 probes sent.
     4 successful, 0 failed.
Approximate trip times in milli-seconds:
     Minimum = 200.919ms, Maximum = 208.711ms, Average = 205.925ms


But if nodes eastcoast.hodlcoin.com and westcoast.hodlcoin.com are working why users cannot sync their wallets via those nodes? When you manually add other nodes syncing works.

Mmh. westcoast.hodlcoin.com is running version "/HOdlcoin:3.0.0/".

I added
connect=46.4.64.68
connect=eastcoast.hodlcoin.com
connect=westcoast.hodlcoin.com
to my hodlcoin.conf to make my node hodlcoin.dy.fi always connect to those nodes.

Thanks for this investigation. I've removed the westcoast and dead nodes and repointed them at some hopefully live nodes that should aid new users with connections. Anyone still running 3.0.0, please stop!

Anyone who has a reliable node at a fixed ip address, please message me if you'd like me to point the a dns addresses at your node to help with keeping the network robust for new users to get started.

Also, no, coin is not dead. :p


Hi Freetrade, long time no post.  It's good for us to get a blip from you now and then so we'll know that you're still on this project.  Anyway, happy to hear from you.

danbi's pool is going down for good.

Please note that danbi's pool will stop minning around 1st September 2017 and will stop operation at the time Diamond switches to version 3 (12-13 September 2017).

Make sure you withdraw your coins before the switch day.


A googol of thanks for keeping your pool operational for so long -- you're the pillar of the DMD community.

Again many thanks and good luck on your next endeavor.

It seems I am not going away from Diamond.

Coming to think of it, I could help people setup 24/7 masternodes instead. With preinstalled daemon and chain - just supply your node key and transaction data. No coins there, you control that from your very own wallet.

Thinking about the price Smiley

That's a good option. I bet your fee would be more reasonable too, LMK.

How solo mining DMD coin?

My wallet sync all but "not mining because you don't have mature coin", please help me!

With the current insanely high difficulty and about 3 weeks of Pow left, why bother to mine at all.

Besides, you're "not minting" (not mining) because your wallet is either empty or the coins in your wallet is less than 9 days old.

until & unless @freetrade confirms he has dropped HOdl , I believe there is still a ray of hope for this as we already have nutocracy up n running

Yeah, hoping and mining are all we can do until we heard from Freetrade -- hope he grace us with his response.

Hello community

We would like to give some update on the development and incoming release.
DMD Diamond 3.0 (whitepaper https://bit.diamonds/DMD_WP_1.0.pdf )
is a very important update, a cornerstone of future releases and we want it to be done just perfectly.

We have made several alpha builds that had been thoroughly tested and everything seems to work seamlessly,
however, with each build we fine tune fundamental parameters of economic model of Diamond. This has to be tested extensively
so you get a great looking wallet, the most user friendly PoS mechanics out there that just works out of the box fully automated
and of course the best Masternode setup that is able to handle network duties and reward holders accordingly.
In software development dates are your worst enemy; they can easily introduce mistakes, promote omitting stuff and using shortcuts,
just to stick to an artificial deadline. We want none of that to happen that’s why the exact dates are never given;
our aim can be nothing less than the best possible Masternode coin.

The initial release was aimed for late August but it seems we need a few more weeks of work on it so the software can be expected mid-September.
However, it’s important to note that DMD Diamond 2.0 has been running smoothly and with great stability for years so a few extra weeks of fine tuning
and improving zero micromanagement Poof of Stake and other user convenience features are sure worth the wait.

In August we will start inviting people to our Diamond 3.0 test network so that anyone who wants to try out the system
and learn how to create Masternodes or see how automatic coin management behaves will be able to join in.

People who are willing to write guides can apply for an invite – there are bounties available for your work!



Please do take all the time to polish and shine DMD 3.0 -- we do not want to have another DMD 2.102 fiasco

How to check if I am on good chain?
Is using 3.0.1 sufficient or I have to do something more?

I assume you're solo mining.  Easiest and simplest way is to compare your balance using block explorer.

Here the link... http://www.fuzzbawls.pw/explore/HOdlcoin/index.php

Enter your wallet address on the search box and compare the balance shown on the block explorer with those in your wallet.
If they are the same then you're on the right chain.

you can also go to the debug window in your wallet, console tab and type
getblockhash 268733   
it should show:
000000777edbdae1eff3cad5b2917dbe883267a17ea1b190f21f565ef368b3bd



It does show that string.
What does it mean?

Where do I find my wallet address to put into the block explorer?

If I am on the wrong chain, what do I do to get on the right one?


You're on the correct chain.

In your wallet -- click file tab then choose receiving address from drop down menu.

Do nothing... you're on the correct chain.

Can't sync, anyone having the same problem.
Stuck at 278862

make sure to use v3.0.1 , you may need to start with -reindex flag
takes about 45 mins to rebuild the block index ( this does not redownload the blockchain )


 you may need to start with -reindex flag, what does that mean ?!?!

You can start a reindex of your local block chain by entering 'hodlcoin-qt.exe  -reindex' in a DOS box
Your hodlcoin-qt.exe file can be found under windows in c:\program files\hodlcoin (or the folder where your HodlCoin link points to)

Reindexing worked fine. I ran the solomining with my laptop (67 H/S) and got 3700 Hodl after one day. The last time I mined was a couple of months back and I got mayb 50 Hold/day. Any explanation?

Most likely you're  on  a wrong chain.  Are you using wallet v3.0.1?  Check your balance using the block explorer.

Another newbie question :-

I want to mine on a 2nd PC, can I get it to mine to the same wallet ?

I have tried with the same batch file as PC1 but I seem to get loads of 'Stratum requested work restart' messages

Thanks again   Smiley

Yes you can mine to the same wallet.
Just add this line (without quotation mark) "miningaddress=walletAddressThatYouWantToMineTo" to your hodlcoin.conf file in your ....AppData\Roaming\HOdlcoin  folder.

The wallet should mine to whatever address that you listed.

Thanks for your reply, but....

I don't have a ....AppData\Roaming\HOdlcoin

I have a 'mining' directory from where I run the hodleminer.exe via a simple batch file, and have my wallet installed in a separate directory

I have not tweeked it or optimized it in any way (mainly as I don't know how too), so probably not as efficient as it could be

No problem, just add -miningaddress=walletAddressThatYouWantToMineTo at the end of the hodleminer.exe in the batch file.

e.g.  hodleminer.exe -miningaddress=walletAddressThatYouWantToMineTo

Thanks for the info, however, when I add that to my batch file it just crashes, I am sure I am missing something obvious

my batch file is :-

hodlminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://hodl.optiminer.pl:5555 -u -p x -q

Thanks


It should be   hodlminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://hodl.optiminer.pl:5555 -u -p x

Also optiminer uses AES and AVX2. Be sure your cpu support them; otherwise, the miner will crash.

Oh, did not know that Dash Masternode Tech is being used so everything, reward wise, is already set.

every masternode coin is based on DASH masternode technology
but only few of them use the newest masternode implementation and are full upgrade combatible like DMD Diamond


DMDv3 contains masternode technology invented by dash
POS3 technology invented by blackcoin
and blockchain technology invented by bitcoin

and some improvements adaptions special in the area POS and zero micomanagement abilities done by DMD devs
and the unique to DMD coin rollout with constant decreasing inflation and starting in 10 years even deflations mechnism
that take care that each DMD become more valueable over time

important for a good coin is that u not only put in good stuff but that u also take care the stuff fit well together

we all love chocolate icecream and we love pizza
but chocolate icecream on a pizza that maybe doesnt fit.....

Good point and analogy.

I'm certain steps are taken to prevent reward exploitation. However, no matter what name you call it,  it is still luck that decide the selection.  Still I think splitting the reward equally among active MNs on every POS block is a better and fair solution.  Any chance that will be implemented or is the consensus system is already set in stone?

there is no chance that code parts get changed
because we want to be combatible with DASH masternode technology
that allow us implement any interesting improvements from whole masternode development community

without question masternode technology is implemented first by DASH and they put in high effort improve it

just i dislike their POW centric approach and the really high 10% masternode rewards taken out of system for development

as always DMD takes long developed and stable secure blockchain features and combine them in the DMD style

combined with a rock solid coin rollout plan and a few innovative features on top that dont break combatibility

its the same with bitcoin code improvements

we have with DMDv3 a state of the art implementation of bitcoin code improvements and the path towards stuff like segwit and lightning in the future is open

Also, the mechanism that choose which masternode receives the POS share reward is boiled down to luck?

if u run a stable online masternode it will average out
and u reach over time the statistic fact that if there are 100 masternodes u earn 1% of all masternode rewards with 1 masternode
its same as mining it total based on luck
but still who have more hashrate will over time earn more rewards

POS in DMDv3 is like mining without powerwaste with ur coins
MN in DMDv3 is like mining without powerwaste with ur coins

based on ur share of DMD u choose the way how u will take part in DMD coin rollout

every way will earn u rewards

It would be more fair to split the POS reward equally among currently active masternodes instead of just randomly give the reward to 1 masternode.

its not random
its  a consensus of the masternode peer to peer network
but its a complicated not predictable behavior so we call it luck

its like a rollete there is no luck involved but still noone can predict what number win the next round
over all we know each number wins at average same often

I'm certain steps are taken to prevent reward exploitation. However, no matter what name you call it,  it is still luck that decide the selection.  Still I think splitting the reward equally among active MNs on every POS block is a better and fair solution.  Any chance that will be implemented or is the consensus system is already set in stone?

@ DMD Team

I have read the DMD White Paper and it's a nice piece of work and interesting reading. I have some questions though.

Quote: "Stage 1: from 2017-09-01 till 2018-02-01
From Block 0 till Block 115200 the reward will remain constant at 2.35DMD. Diamond's yearly monetary inflation will come down from the starting position of 23.7% and drop to 21.6% within 6 months time.

Stage 2: from 2017-03-01 till 2020-08-01
From Block 134400 till Block 691200 the reward emission will follow a curved line decreasing rewards slightly each month from 2.29DMD per block to 0.55DMD within 29 months. Also, a yearly monetary inflation rate will decrease substantially from 20.6% to 3.8% within that period.

Stage 3: from 2020-09-01 till 2027-07-01
From Block 710400 till block 2284800 the reduction in network rewards will slow down from 0.5 DMD to 0.157 DMD per block, while annual monetary inflation will fall from 3.5% to 0.96% within that period.

Stage 4: from 2027-08-01 - ongoing
From Block 2304000 onward the network rewards will remain at constant level of 0.1563 DMD per block. Yearly inflation will be reducing slowly from 0.95% to 0.87% in the space of 10 years."


It seems that some block intervals are missing between the stages. What will the block reward be for example between block 115200-134400? It also seems to be some discrepancies between the dates of the stages?

In the White paper there are no mentioning about PoS maturity time after successfully minting a block. Does that mean that the same coin pile can mint two blocks in a row if lucky? Or is there still some maturity time, corresponding to the nine days in DMD v2?

Quote: "Only the control wallet which start the Masternode and delegates the work towards it must have access to the private key of the address with the coins."

Does this mean the control wallet with the collateral must be online continuosly? If not, what does "delegates the work" mean?

Some elaboration regarding these mentioned "ghost coins" would be appreciated. What exactly is it?

Quote: "In the near future DMD Diamond will feature a second more complex and more secure address schema (far beyond what Bitcoin protocol offers) which will make it much harder for brute force quantumcomputer attack to be successful."

Will this affect the possibility to import old private keys from DMD v2?
 


The White Paper is a first draft, so I would assume it's just typos or miscalculations for the date and block discrepancies.

DMD Diamond 3.0 White Paper


Thank you to all the people, both DMD Diamond Foundation members and fantastic Diamond Community, who have contributed with their input to this document and support over the years which inspired us to move forward and continue to develop DMD Diamond with passion.

This white paper is the first draft. The final iteration will include detailed description of DMD Diamond 3.0 parameters and adjustment options for the zero micromanagement Diamond Proof of Stake engine (split and merge mechanics).





So in DMD 3.0, the masternode get the lion's share of every POS block - 65% for masternode vs 35% for POS.
That's 1.5275 DMD for masternode and 0.8225 DMD for POS block finder.

Also, the mechanism that choose which masternode receives the POS share reward is boiled down to luck?

Is my solo mining working?  This is screenshot of my CCMiner.



Look like it works fine.  Solo mining depends almost solely on luck, and at currently very high difficulty of over 200, it probably take a while for you to solve a block.  Good luck!!!
