Hello ,

I will buy your biction wallet with price 0.003 bitcoin .
The wallet must be created before may 2014 .

No CLAM for you!

For a full $1.13 wow

ill sell it for .05 btc, wallet was created before may and has alot of addresses.

Can someone fill me in on why anyone would do this? I have tons and tons of old wallets....why would anyone want to buy them?

If the wallet had coins in it during May 2014 then each wallet is worth 4.5 CLAM or so which currently translates to about 0.008 BTC IIRC. But to get the CLAM reward you need to give up the private key to the wallet.

Oh...I keep all my old wallets back to late 2012 or so. Where do I trade these for this CLAM? I am assuming CLAM is some alt coin??

CLAM is an altcoin. You can see if wallets are eligible by going to the Just Dice chat box, and then type "/dig 1ADDRESS" and then you can see if there's any money associated with those wallets. If so I believe you can then type "/dig 1ADDRESS 5PRIVKEY" and then the CLAM should show up in your Just Dice account. I'm not 100% sure on all of that though, if someone can confirm that would be awesome.

It also works with LTC and DOGE wallets too if you by chance have any old wallets of those currencies.

Can someone give a link to their post here or a website (for the coin) ?

Also, what would they do with empty wallets???

Perhaps they're hoping someone's left some coins in it :-\

So CALM is being very popular !
Yes if you had old addresses you can give 0.012 bitcoin for each address !

This does not make much sense to me? How can old private keys be of any value to an altcoin?

OK, I looked a little at this CLAM altcoin, so apparently the initial Distribution was done through proof-of-chain.
So any BTC,LTC,DOGE addy that was active  May 12 2014 with a balance > dust, has received 4-5 CLAM.
The private key of these "lucky" addys can be used to claim the CLAM.

What is this clam? Why does it require old wallets, I don't understand...

CLAM rhymes with.... ;)

45 different things apparently.  ;)

I added a few wallets so far...want to trade for 23  50 CLAM? Make me an offer and they are yours!

i can sell you many of those even thousands
wallet address with private keys
old then may 2014

Well it is worth importing them for sure.. 50 CLAM = .18BTC and that was from only a couple wallets!

Blazzed, did you try it out yourself?
Is it worth spending the time doing it?

So we can exchange it at poloniex?. am i right bro?.

Yeah I believe that Poloniex is the main exchange for CLAM.

I do have addresses which were created in january 2014. I stopped using them in march. Do you want to buy them as well?

If they were empty as of May 2014, they aren't worth anything.

I know.

He stated in his first post that he wants to buy addresses which were created before May this year, and not that it should have funds in it during May.

The problem with this trade is the buyer will never know how many clams are in the address until he has bought it. Buyer could be scammed by sellers with an empty wallet.
