may I spend a couple words on the algo: history says every algo can be "broken" (using fpga or asic), so why change it again and go thru all the hassle of forks and wallet updates? in the end what matters is coin stability and hashrate distribution which don't necesarily go worse with asic or fpga; btw cpu/gpu mining is over for most of us anyway.
unless there is some crypto breaktru I'd stay with groestl.

hybrid security is a core concept of DMD Diamond
which mean there is at least 2 ways of generating blocks
we will keep that feature

POS will stay for sure

but its not a law written in stone which way will be the second way to generate  coins
keep actual algo for pow
or switch algo
or expand to multiple pow algos
or even no pow algo and instead another coingenerating way

As pokeytex put it, changing algorithm for any other neo or some other doesn't mean much right now.
Once the POW reduction happens, POW will stay there just to keep the speed of transactions.

There is a strong point for switching to SHA256 but only under certain conditions where network security is ensured and backed by some serious cloud mining.
We could also explore other ways of securing the network that would incentivise people for doing non minable jobs but with overall benefit to the whole thing.

The days of direct mining are coming to an end - in classical sense - the best bet for those with mining gear would be to use multipool and mine for Diamonds and shares in Diamond Cloud Mining.
This actually is a pretty good investment return combo.

As for general security we are building something that would make any attempt of taking down the network (POS) pretty expensive. So looking from that perspective PoW in future won't necessarily hold a crucial position.

Please help
I do not understand how to use the trigger
I want to buy DMD.
What settings should I do?
These settings do not work:

Hello. Who ever heard of a service https://www.lendingclub.com/ is the world's largest operator of peer to peer (P2P) lending.
Perhaps the community and individual investors should study these possibilities for a large investment in the Diamond project
There is another fairly well-known and new service https://btcjam.com/ It allows the investor to get a loan in Bitcoins.

go for it
its not like only we can set such activities

i did a few weeks ago try to place a prove of concept loan for dmdm cloudmining at btcjam
i got no investors even i just start with a low 2 BTC ammount

I had a look too but not keen to put so much info out there. I can borrow just as easily at home (AU), its buying btc thats difficult.
Any chance you guys (maybe cryptonit?) can put a purchase by CC option in either or both cloudmining and buy DMD direct?

This is fair enough cryptonit.
I didn't realise the impost on taking fiat.
I may be missing something, but buying btc is the most difficult product/service on the net!
I can buy anything else with just credit card details, name and address, but for btc they want passport nos or photos of drivers licence etc. I don't put these anywhere on the net. My credit card has all of these.
And so, I find myself buying doge off ebay and converting, or using paypal to buy btc at exorbitant rates, it shouldn't be so hard.
Anyway, these are not your problems and I shall carry on.
If anyone can suggest a way to purchse btc via paypal or credit card I would be most appreciative.
Kind Regards
chilo

Ive had nothing but good dealings with Cryptsy,verifying the account was a piece of cake.(drivers license)
They now take interact transfers.   two factor authentication. Just my opinion.
