Concerning the 4 separate credits:

The block chain does not (thankfully) store information connecting multiple addresses within the same wallet.  Evidentally, there were 4 separate outputs on the DOGE block chain to 4 separate addresses in your wallet -> thus 4 separate credits!

Ah, I think I get it - thanks.

Just to check my understanding, am I correct in surmising that there's a bonanza of CLAMs heading out to those people who actually followed the recommendations?

If so, good for them.

Looking forward to the next update.

Don't hold your breath.

The 2011 foundational work was basically a preliminary exploration by researchers not entirely familiar with the methods of experimental psychology. The write-up was informal, failed to describe the method in enough detail to support independent reproduction, wasn't published in a peer-reviewed journal relevant to the domain of study and the work hasn't been pursued any further by the main researcher. I'm not sure of its pertinence to the project other than the spurious media interest it generated at the time.

what about a collaborative art project in Bitcoin, wher you have to donate a certain amount for each pixel

Interestingly, when edited, that turns into something that is practically indistinguishable from an altcoin:

Quote
a collaborative art project where you receive a certain amount for each contributed pixel (share)

I'm working on some in-depth support for arguing that an altcoin can reasonably (and usefully) be viewed as a form of creative expression.

I've a feeling that there are some (yet to be fleshed out) parallels in Anthony Gormley's "Field" series of works, in which the public's own involvement with the creation of the pieces is something that confers value (for some arguable definition of "value").

If he chose to release an altcoin called "FieldX", would that be fundamentally different to any of the other, more tangible, works in the series?

I'm just not sure whether the artist's and public's respective contributions could ever be successfully quantified, which poses a bit of a computational conundrum.

Anybody had successfully received some CLAMs?

Yes. After reading through the instructions and subsequent confirmatory posts, I decided to take the direct route.

I have standard linux wallets for BTC, LTC and DOGE.

BTC and LTC wallets are empty, never seen any transactions so neither are due to receive CLAMs because the addresses have never been recorded in the bitcoin blockchain as part of a transaction.

But all is not lost, I am a (lapsed) Shibe and my DOGE wallet address has at some time in the past been recorded in the Dogecoin blockchain as part of a transaction (when I acquired the DOGE and when I credited the tipbot's address).

Code:
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams
$ cd clams
$ qmake-qt4                                              # Qt5 menubar icons and ubuntu unity don't place nice.
$ make -j4                                               # entry-level core i3 (Sandybridge) Acer laptop
                                                         # I ignored several compiler warnings about an unchecked
                                                         # return type, might hack up a PR later.
$ ./clam-qt -printtoconsole -debug
^C
$ cp ~/Documents/BackupWallets/dogecoin-unsecured-backup-wallet-00.dat ~/.clam/wallet.dat
$ ./clam-qt

Works for me, better than expected, I got 4 separate credits of 4.60545574 CLAM.

Why 4 credits, I wonder?

And it's successfully staking, a transaction just showed up in the wallet, itemised as "Mined", totalling 0.00136895.

The overview states I have 13.8-odd CLAM to spend and I am staking 4.6-odd CLAM

fwiw, I broadly agree - with some reservations:

!. There are namespace issues: - how are we going to differentiate my "MyWallet1" from your "MyWallet1"?

something easier to type like "Mywaller15"

...

you can just say "Mywallet15"

2. Your quintessentially human (and, from Sod's Law, entirely predictable) error is one rather strong reason why the UI should work to help the user avoid trivial but potentially expensive mistakes - the uncompromising appearance of hash strings acts as a clear signal to the user that checking the transcription is a necessary step in a such a transaction if the latter is to have the best chance of success.

I cannot think of a RL example of your "short codes" but if there is one, it could be mined for approaches to solutions.

Watch out what are You doing on this forum.

You too.

You need to put a little more effort into developing your coin graphic. Your rip-off of FailCoin's coin image does you no favours. It reflects poorly on you, could easily be misinterpreted as carelessness or even a lack of invention and/or collegiality.

I guess the private key for the address would have to be included in the package other wise the Btc would be dead and worth nothing.  

Maybe you could render the work as a diptych, splitting off the quantitative BTC element into a separate piece. This piece alone, without the other piece, is worth "only" the BTC face value. But, when it is combined with the other piece of the diptych, its value is enhanced - as long as the pieces remain together, the work is complete. The insight is to sell the parts separately to different patrons and then they negotiate the respective values for the recombining of the pieces into a single diptych.

It's not an original idea, it'd be riffing off've Boggs' work, rotating it into cryptocurrency space but I think it's got to be worth a go. Dunno if you've come across Boggs' work,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._S._G._Boggs

Sadly, there's not much of Boggs and his work on Youtube, just a couple of snippets.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ5x2-VUGXI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEtKSqzpj0Q

I was lucky enough to catch the BBC's broadcasting of Milestone's "Money Man" video of Boggs at work, broadcast several years ago. Maybe worth asking your local library to get you a copy.

http://www.milestonefilms.com/products/money-man

It great to watch the penny drop for the guy involved as he realises that the hand-drawn $100 bill that he now owns would actually be worth significantly more than its monetary face value if it was combined with the transaction receipt (owned by the other collector), a realisation classically prompted by the receipt-holding collector trying to buy the $100 bill drawing to make up the complete piece.

Anyway, just a thought.

Graham

I disagree. It is important to differentiate whether the coingen coin died or the hand-crafted coin died.

Fee-charged is fine if there's a free trial and/or a great reputation.

Thanks for an informative reply. It'd have to be a free trial, I guess. In this domain reputations can be purchased and are mostly worthless; in other domains, reputations cannot be purchased and are mostly priceless.

I'm not aware of anything along the lines you describe (not that I claim any authority in the matter). As far as I know, the nearest match is altcoincalendar.info but that's a long way from your requirements because i) it's just a calendar and ii) the content is somewhat variable in terms of detail and significance - it is dependent on the API receiving genuine announcements vs joke material. And that's really where the problem lies; the information is unreliable at source, joke or otherwise. It'd be a case of garbage in, garbage out.

Things may be looking up though. I've noticed an increasing number of comments recently calling/hoping for increased transparency so perhaps attitudes are starting to harden towards misinformation and deliberate disingenuity.

I envisage a transparency-oriented scheme, analogous to the FOSS "Description of a Project" DOAP scheme, that publishes altcoin core metadata in a computationally-tractable format. This would at least enable you to apply your own programmatic filters or simply browse summaries of the latest announcements.

We're not there yet, though.

Cheers,

Graham.

Are there any websites or blogs out there that do a good job of scouting out new altcoins?  I'm hoping someone is out there combing through these forums and picking out the interesting stuff and writing about it.

I hope you'll excuse the question but are you mainly thinking of free-to-read offerings or do you also as a matter of course consider fee-charging offerings? I'm interested in people's perceptions.

No features

Is that "Hurrah, no features" or "Boo, no features"?

I suspect the latter so ... what's on your wish list?

I just reviewed some of the changes to the code you made.
[ ... ]
  • Totally f***ed up the language files. You already had "metiscoin" in there everywhere, you now reverted these back to "quark" (e.g. src/qt/locale/bitcoin_cy.ts)
[ ... ]
What's your accomplishment? What's the reason for V1.3.0? What are YOUR changelog notes?

It's Open Source, anyone who's so motivated can contribute fixes and issue a pull request:

https://github.com/metiscoin/metiscoin/pulls

One of the changes in 1.3.0 updates the DNS seed and other IP references to reflect the new metiscoin.com domain. A checkpoint was added to the mainnet list and, for completeness, also to the testnet.  A number of lingering references to quark were squashed and, in accordance with basic software theory, re-introduced in even greater quantity. As for the removal of the test suite - it's designed and configured for litecoin, so in the absence of volunteers to migrate the test code to function with metiscoin, it is essentially superfluous. The raft of other changes are to do with the re-introduction of the mining panel but at this point I may be in danger of spoiling someone's proud revelation of all the hard work that's being done behind the scenes.

I'll leave it to a community member to clone the repository, edit the ChangeLog to add the above info and submit a PR. My recommendation: get a small group together, do it in concert, get familiar with the github interface, loft some of your community stuff into the repos. It's your codebase, after all.

Cheers,

Graham

I am trying to complete the entry. Does anyone know the Difficulty Retarget time?

The usual suspects assert it as 1 block, or 90 seconds:

https://github.com/chaincoin/chaincoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1273

Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 90; // 90 seconds
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 90; // 90 seconds
static const int64 nInterval = 1; // Chaincoin: retarget every block

But ofc, only a detailed inspection of the code can give you a canonical answer.

Cheers,

Graham
