I really don't understand the switch to CLAM. I haven't researched that altcoin immensely, but from what I understand it's quite stupid it's initial coin distribution was meant to be fair, but for some cases absolutely wasn't. But that's not the point here.
The reasoning behind the usage of CLAM is because the amount of BTC was too high back in the days. What CLAM actually does is introduce exchange rate risks for players and investors. Because who are we kidding? How many players and investors are actually using their own CLAM instead of exchanging them.
CLAM prices ten-folded after the re-opening of JD. I don't know if there were any events beside that, but looking at the history of CLAMs exchange rate, it seems pretty obvious that JD played a huge role here.
So the only thing that's keeping players/investors back is CLAMs uncertain future. If that was the plan, then it will prolly work to some extent.
The reason for going to CLAM, as far as I understand, is that it isn't easily converted to fiat yet

JD closes due to legal concerns CLAM releases earlier this year CLAM can't be traded to USD. JD opens accepting CLAM (just like they did with BTC before BTC was a legal concern), likely under the assumption that it's not a currency (read: just like BTC was when they first opened)

You are missing something. BTC had TONS of service that exchanged BTC for USD when JD opened. (Bitinstant and others) CLAM had 0. Ziltch, nadda... not even fucking a half a service . Bitcoin is also property in the USA.. not currency, but Doog is in Canada anyways.

Just-dice being open certainly didn't hurt Bitcoin last year and I'm 100% sure it helped the price. 60,000 BTC is no bullshit I watched BTC go from $80 to >$1000 during JD life time and I do believe in my heart of heart that the Bitcoin price was directly related to the site and the troll box as well. (Plus obviously Willy bot ect!) One of the few chats where you have a Billionaire, a Pool owner, a homeless person, a business person, a marketing person and whatever else all in the same room shooting the shit. Just-dice is still the best Bitcoin/Dogecoin investment in my opinion even if it isn't Bitcoin or Dogecoin (or even Litecoin.) Being a first market mover is a scary thing and I tip my hat to Doog.

I'm not sure how your comment was in any way related to anything you quoted. You're bringing in a whole different conversation. If you read what you quoted, we were simply discussing why they closed (when accepting BTC) but reopened using a new currency (CLAM) instead of going back to BTC.

First off ALWAYS be sure to move all the Bitcoins, Litecoins or Dogecoins before claiming clam. Do not share secrets that have value with anyone if you expect them to be secrets!After you move the coins then it is safe to "dig them". Type /dig in the Just-dice troll box for further details (so no need to trust the CLAM client.) Polo has always been good for me, but I try never to leave more than 5 Bitcoins with them at a time. Just to be safe... they had a hack at the start of their exchange, but they paid it all back... but still!

No doubt Just-Dice had a positive impact on Bitcoin but you are overestimating it in my opinion. You are too close to Just-Dice and not enough to all other aspects of Bitcoin to judge accurately.

This. JD probably closed because they were operating a "real-money" gambling site. (At least in their jurisdiction). I guess with CLAM this changes pushing JD back into some kind of grey area. Maybe that's also why doog is often hinting that CLAM can't be exchanged for (US/Canadian) dollars.

My analysis of Just-Dice -
Treat Clams like a "sidechain" coin used for JD with JD's Market Cap being the Clam Market Cap and USD being the basis since it is gambling based
JD is up 3% in profit - 15k Clams at 0.00057 at $336 = $2,872.80 $2,872.80 x 26 weeks (2 weeks openish) = $74,692.80 - x 10 years = $746928.00 total of 370,110 CLAM 370,110 x 0.00057 * 336 =$708kUSD
Therefore JD right now is worth $750K and thus the reason the pricing of the Clam
Until JD does more profits (mainly volume) the price of Clams should remain the same or go down as Clams come on line -
Just be careful with the ability to dig Clams
14:12:36 INFO: 47,758 of 3,208,032 sets of 4.60545574 CLAM were dug up so far from the initial distribution 14:12:36 INFO: 219,947 CLAM were dug up and 150,163 CLAM were staked for a total of 370,110 CLAM 14:12:36 INFO: Just-Dice's bankroll of 179,232 CLAM represents 48.43% of that amount 14:12:36 INFO: if all the distributed CLAMs were dug up, the total money supply would be 14,924,564 CLAM

Am I reading this right, that only 1.5% of the initial distribution has been claimed?
