Clams had value before jd was using them..  if they close, I expect it to return to around that previous value.

There is already Huntercoin... which is human mineable,  also in a game format no less!

If it helps, you can also "dig" for clams to see how many you have..  you have to go on just-dice.com site to do it (one of the developer's of Clams owns that site)

Instructions from the site:

On the 12th of May 2014 a snapshot was taken of the BTC, LTC, and DOGE blockchains. All addresses bearing a non-dust amount at that point in time were given 4.60545574 CLAMs for free. This was the initial distribution of CLAMs, and it how all the CLAMs were created. The intent was to make the distribution as fair as possible, since everyone involved in any of those three coins automatically got free CLAMs.

The specific blocks at which the snapshots were taken:

   BTC block 300377 (2014-05-12 12:48:17)
   LTC block 565693 (2014-05-12 13:06:31)
  DOGE block 218556 (2014-05-12 13:09:17)
In order to access your free CLAMs, you need to be able to sign a transaction using the private key for the BTC, LTC, or DOGE address that owns the CLAMs. Chances are, if you were using one of these coins back in May, you have a wallet.dat file containing tens or maybe even hundreds of addresses (including hidden 'change' addresses which you may not even be aware of), all of which possibly have free CLAMs associated with them.

The easiest way to collect those CLAMs is to make sure the wallet is now empty by moving any balance into a new wallet, and then import the wallet.dat file into the official CLAM client. It will scan the old wallet.dat file and dig up all the CLAMs.

Alternatively, you can use the /dig command in the chat tab of this site:

Type  /dig for a brief guide.

Type  /dig ADDRESS  to check whether there are any free CLAMs available at the given address, and whether they have already been claimed or not.

Type  /dig ADDRESS PRIVKEY  to claim the CLAMs at the given address and have them sent to your deposit address at Just-Dice. PRIVKEY is the associated private key in WIF or hex format.

Keys in WIF format are 51 or 52 characters long, and start with a 5, K, or L for BTC, a 6 or T for LTC and a 6 or Q for DOGE; keys in hex format are 64 characters in the range 0-9 and A-F.

Any private keys you provide will be used once each to sign a transaction and broadcast it to the CLAM network, then it will be discarded. Private keys are not logged by Just-Dice, but you do need to trust us on that! It is really best to only provide private keys that are empty, and which you do not intend to use again.

Clams and other proof of stake coins are awesome!

Anyone can now generate more coins,  without added electricity and equipment costs.

Either buy them on an exchange like Poloniex - https://poloniex.com/exchange#BTC_CLAM,  or try to import them from old wallets (after first emptying your old wallet to a new wallet)

Hope that helps!

Because difficulty is going up..  it's becoming more difficult to stake more coins.

More and more people are holding on and staking,  difficulty goes up as a result.

I can point out tons of coins where resistance is low and there is this supposed accumulation, and they do nothing but sit there with no movement.

They only way people "know of a move" is because they pre-pump!!

AGAIN NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT !

But I'm done arguing with your stupid ass. 

Goodbye you ass scamming troll !! 

Fuck off to you to troll

For some reason you just can't handle truth,  so you have to resort to childish insults.

I don't have to prove SHIT to you..  go back and buttfuck with Ryan's anus or whatever you do.

Mr. Childish Ryanhumping whore has his nose so far up his ass, he wants to keep eating his SHIT

I didn't say I don't have the transaction ID..  I just don't see what it proves..  I could have been anyone who sent the .5 btc

And what exactly are the screenshots supposed to show .. when I bought and sold.. and he dumped to cause me to lose?
I'm not going to do all that.. other people have already.

I'm not going to cater to you Mr. Asshat super TROLL

How do I prove it?  You want a transaction ID where I sent the .5 btc

And then continued to not make any profits from his so called great picks?

There is no real way to prove it.

You're a troll that loves a ryan loving troll   That's weird and I wish you would fuck off.

MY PROOF:
There have been many coins who sit in so called "accumulation" for weeks on end.

You can't just say "Durr hurr.. I'll buy this piece of shit coin, just because it looks like accumulation phase.."  
and then sit there for weeks on end and nothing happens other than continuous, boring sideways movement.

AGAIN:
My point remains,  there is no guarantee of the second box on the right ("distribution") in his charts occurring - outside of him knowing it will because he is "pre-pumping"  during "accumulation" (the first box).

That was BEFORE he stole money from me!  

Besides I thought you put me on ignore..??

Don't you have something better to do than go around accusing people of being trolls?

That's being trollish in itself.

How many PoS coins are you in?   And which do you feel have a strong future?

His definitions and explanations about accumulation is nothing more than where he is pre-buying to make sure he can dump on members.

There is NO guarantee that a stock will make a move, right after his so called "accumulation". 

He never discusses or explains side channels or side channeling.   I seriously don't think he wants anyone to think that exists!

And no, I'm not trying to troll.. I'm just pointing out what really happens in markets..  not in RyanPumper fairytale land.

I really feel staking could be a mainstream, underlying technology in Crypto 2.0 currencies.

If you think about it, why wouldn't it be? 

Business is usually looking for the most cost effective way of doing things.

I really don't understand people who say proof of stake isn't worth much since there is nothing at stake.

The network is basically borrowing your coins to do transactions,  therefore your coins are at stake.

There is a small risk there involved where something could happen and you don't get your interest on the stake.
(also the 2 generals problem)

Plus there is a cost effectiveness..  It actually pays more to mint on low powered computers / notebooks than trying to PoW mine.

You obviously don't understand the two generals problem and why sometimes when staking, you get "minted but not accepted" message.

Go back to your shitcoin.. how much is that worth now?  Next to nothing?
Tor sucks and you're probably some shithead from nsa watching exit nodes.

His advice, (if you really read into it) is nothing but pointless babble - or its things that are obvious to most anyone that he just explains over and over.  
Its' just made to look like it makes sense, but he never really gets specific.

Plus sometimes his charts have been questionable, quite off.

Bump for visibility and hopefully to save others from Ryan's scam & trolling for suckers!
