Hi People

I have a NEM wallet on my pc that I haven't used for 6 months. Version 0.6.43.
Wallet used to turn on and run, was unlocked or equivalent. Client now updated and I can't get mine to run. How do I access my NEM please?

Regards

chilo

cryptonit,

I think you can put rescan=1 in your Diamond.config with no deleterious consequences?

Good work and well done Shivoreun,

Your ability to improvise logically will stand you in good stead! Thank you also for sharing your problem solving. May I include your work in the DMD FAQ?

Here is a Diamond FAQ: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1478653.0

Solutions to some of these problems are already provided.

This is a work in progress and I will repost here and request link on the OP etc when complete.

Hi People,

Diamond FAQ: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1478653.msg14905078#msg14905078.

Please note this is in the process of compilation, and will grow over the coming days. Any suggestions/corrections/assistance can be placed in comments on that thread.

I will try to keep some semblance of order to it, and any suggestions or constructive criticism is welcome. Any trolling or abusive behaviour can stay home, this is purely an information service and has no impact on the direction of DMD.

Hi People,

Regarding FAQ (on BTT), I will get the ball rolling. Some cut and paste over the weekend to fill out the body of the title page, then I will request some community members assist in maintaining/updating/editing thread. Not sure if this will be approved by the DMD Foundation but I can't see why not. If not I will direct to the main DMD website and lock the thread.

I think it reasonable that there be a DMD FAQ available without going off the BTT.

Stay posted.

Kind Regards

chilo

Q & A

1. Q:
Where can I get official downloads/information/contacts/etc for Diamond (DMD)?

    A:
You can find all this information on the official Diamond (DMD) website at http://bit.diamonds

Or

On the Bitcointalk Diamond (DMD) OP at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580725.0

2. Q:
Are the official sites available in other languages?

    A:
The official Diamond (DMD) website has versions available in English, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

3. Q:
What is a Diamond (DMD) wallet?

    A:
A Diamond wallet is a program that runs in conjunction with all other Diamond wallets in the network and by consensus records and stores the contents of all wallets. Other functions unique to Diamond are also regulated by the wallets, such as the creation and acceptance of POW and POS rewards. This consensus record is known as the Diamond blockchain, and is similar to the consensus records (blockchains) maintained by other cryptocurrency networks.


4. Q:
How do I install and run a Diamond (DMD) wallet?

    A:
Download the compressed file from either here http://bit.diamonds or here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580725.0. Unzip then open the file.
The program will create a Diamond Application folder in the following location: Users > {your username} > AppData > Roaming > Diamond which will be hidden. It is important that you know where this folder is as it contains your actual wallet in the form of a wallet.dat file.
Your wallet will start running and downloading the existing blockchain to date. This is known as synchronising. Please note, to download the entire blockchain will take several days to a week, and may require several restarts of your wallet. Your download progress will be displayed at the bottom of your wallet. Simply close and restart your wallet if download progress is delayed for longer than several minutes.
To enable your wallet to synchronise quicker, you can download and install an official bootstrap version of the blockchain.

5. Q:
My wallet is not synchronising and shows no connections. What is wrong?
  
    A:
Please check you firewall and Internet security settings, you may need to allow your wallet to access the Internet.
Although your wallet is preconfigured to automatically connect to the Diamond network, some users find using a Diamond.conf file assists in finding and maintaining connections to the network.

6. Q:
What is a Diamond.conf file and how do I use it?

    A:
A Diamond.conf file is used to manually insert user specified configuration settings into your Diamond wallet.
To create your own, open a new file in a text editor program and name the file Diamond.conf. Recommended  structure and text of your file to assist connections:

listen=1
noirc=1
addnode=213.136.80.93
addnode=37.187.176.193
addnode=213.229.0.41
addnode=167.114.184.20
addnode=193.136.97.30
addnode=193.136.96.30
addnode=46.238.9.233
bantime=600

Copy the above ten lines into your Diamond.conf file and save it. Close your Diamond wallet if it is running. Now copy the file and paste it into your Diamond application folder. (AppData > Roaming > Diamond)
Run your Diamond wallet again and you should have connections and begin syncing.
An alternate command set to the above is to write connect= in place of addnode=. This will force connection to the recommended nodes but needs changing back after synchronisation is complete. (TY UtahJohn)
Once your wallet is synchronised, it is highly recommended to encrypt your wallet and then store a copy of your wallet.dat file in one or several secure locations.

7. Q:
What is a Diamond bootstrap?

    A:
A bootstrap is basically a snapshot of the blockchain at a certain point in time that can be used to quickly update and verify the initial blockchain file of a new wallet or a wallet that had not been used in a long time. This will allow synchronisation from the point of that snapshot and will reduce the total time required to get your wallet synchronised and fully functioning. Please note, when using a bootstrap it should only ever be sourced from an official location.

8. Q:
How do I use an official bootstrap?

    A:
Download the compressed file from here: http://216.14.113.56/cryptochainer.chains/chains/Diamond_blockchain.zip or here: https://mega.nz/#!PQkHyBCQ!ZW1DyfKFA83rod_wTbgSzn-dPPcfCqDUWUfIew06S7k. (~24/05/2016). Close your Diamond wallet then in your Diamond application folder (AppData > Roaming > Diamond) delete all files except the wallet.dat file. Unzip the file in the bootstrap and copy and paste it into your Diamond application folder to sit with your wallet.dat file.
Restart your Diamond wallet. Your wallet will detect the bootstrap.dat file and use it to synchronise its blockchain from rather than network nodes. Once your wallet is synchronised to the bootstrap creation date, synchronisation will continue in the normal fashion from network peers and the bootstrap.dat file will be renamed bootstrapold.dat. The file can now be deleted as it will not be looked at again by the wallet.

9. Q:
What is the difference between using a bootstrap and replacing my Diamond blockchain?

    A:
When using a bootstrap, your wallet recognises the bootstrap.dat file as a data source to synchronise your copy of the blockchain from. Reading and verifying the file directly from your own hard drive is much quicker than verifying from network peers. Using a bootstrap is the easiest way to get your wallet synced and running.
Replacing your blockchain only includes replacement of your blockchain file with an up to date copy of the blockchain from another user. No verification is carried out, your wallet is forced to accept the copied blockchain as its own. You may also need to modify other files (ie delete your peers.dat file) to get your wallet functioning correctly.

10. Q:
How do I replace my blockchain file?

     A:
Download an up to date blockchain from here: https://mega.nz/#!ec8yFBpC!v7t9QxzKae5BaLKVNu0DBrxA_SHoblEHkyOM_dAp52I. (24 May 2016, TY popshot). Close your Diamond wallet. Unzip the file and copy and paste the files and folder contained within it into your Diamond application folder. When prompted, replace the existing files and folder with the ones you are pasting in there.

11. Q:
My wallet is not functioning correctly and I think I may be on the wrong chain/fork. How can I check and if necessary correct this?

     A:
To see if you are synchronised with the correct chain, check that the block number of your wallet matches that shown at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dmd/. If you are on the wrong chain (blocknumbers don't match), read Q&As 7 through 10 and choose either option 8 or 10. Option 10 is quicker.

12. Q:
My wallet is fully synchronised and on the correct chain, however the balance shown is incorrect. Where are my coins?

     A:
As long as the coins have not been sent from your wallet, they will still be there. You can check this at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dmd/ by searching your wallet address.
You can restore them (make your wallet find them) by going to Help-Debug-Console within your running wallet and executing the commands 'checkwallet' then 'repairwallet'. Just type the letters in lowercase and press enter each time. After a few minutes your correct balance should be shown. If you are still having problems, close your wallet and create a Diamond.conf file as shown in Q6. You can include the 10 lines shown there, and add one additional line being 'rescan=1' or only add this line.
Restart your wallet. The rescan command will cause your wallet to start a little slower than normal and can be removed after it is effective and you have again closed your wallet.
Use of 'checkwallet', 'repairwallet' and the rescan function should normally cause your missing DMD to show. (TY cryptonit/Shivoreun)


13. Q:
What is the Diamond Reactor?

      A:
The Diamond Reactor is a secure wallet containing funds voluntarily lent, or exchanged for cloudmining shares. It is constantly open for staking, and most staking rewards are used to augment cloudmining shareholders other DMD income. The Reactor is approved by the Diamond Foundation, and its principal purpose is to assist in securing the Diamond Network.

Hi cryptohunter,

Re: "u want xy
how we can make it happen
who can create such a thing
what kind of funding is needed
how we able raise that funds"

If you have an idea that you know how to make happen regarding the promotion and advancement of DMD, but need funds to achieve it, let the foundation and community know. We, the community, will fund projects, but many of us are time poor or lack technical savvy to achieve things.

You would need to keep us in the loop and manage the project, but if you are serious about assisting DMD and can provide details of funding required, put it to us and we will see what can be done.

Kind regards

Hi RawCrypto,

First thing you need to know is where to find your wallet.dat file. This is important as this is your actual wallet information, which you use to backup or move your wallet.
It is located here:
C:/Users/User/Appdata/Roaming/Diamond
In the Diamond folder is a series of files and folders. Choose the wallet.dat file and copy it to a USB stick/CD/portable HDD etc. Always keep an up-to-date copy of this file in a secure offline location, in case your computers HDD crashes or your computer otherwise becomes unusable. You should also password protect your wallet, as if someone gets a hold of your wallet.dat file and it is not encrypted, your DMD are theirs.

Download and install the DMD program onto the second computer you intend to use. Allow it to synchronise, then close the program. Open on this computer the same folder, C:/Users/User/Appdata/Roaming/Diamond and copy from the USB etc the wallet.dat file from the first computer that contains your DMD. It will ask if you wish to overwrite, select yes. Your second computer now has your original wallet on it. Run the DMD program and your coins will be there when the program opens.

Hi People,

Earlier one of you guys, I think either you crazyivan or BogdanCo, had the DMD footer design created and you would share via PM. Could you please confirm who it was so I can request access to it?

Hi crazyivan,

Count me in too, but I'll have to pay with 50DMD at this point.

Hi sigwo,
1000 DMD stakes ~10 per week. 44 per day is 308 per week. 308/~10=~30.8
So you need ~30.8x1000=~30800 to stake 44 per day.

Regards

chilo

Wow, very nice plug for all coins listed on both emails! Thank you!

All good cryptonit,

As I mentioned earlier, I intend to invest more, 1Btc minimum no problem. However, I am currently in negotiations ( I think still) with pokeytex to relieve him of some of his current investments so maybe delayed, but I always intended to support as best I can.
Kind regards

chilo
