[ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin"

[SuperClam]

SuperClam any response or progress on this ? This seems rather problematic

Indeed. 
This is an ongoing issue that has, up until recently, been difficult to reliably reproduce and most often solved by a simple restart of the client.

A recent update seems to have possibly aggravated the issue.
Not a horrible situation, as aggravation often breeds incentive and motivation.


I am by no means the most technically savvy of those involved in the project; so I will defer to xploited, dooglus, allejuppa, and others concerning the technical details.

To my knowledge, there has never been any issue of forking or core service separation on the chain.
Rest assured it is being looked at - as always, anyone with expertise is invited to take part at the project repository.

This is, after all, an open source volunteer project.
We rise or fall together

I made an issue in the github repository so we can have all the discussion in one place:

https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/issues/133

With allejuppa's help I seem to have discovered the cause of the problem. It's in the handling (or lack of handling) of orphan blocks in v1.4.4.

This does look like a pretty serious problem with v1.4.4. It would be easy for a service to get stuck on the wrong side of a fork. The bug appears to make it relatively simple to hobble peers running v1.4.4. Until it is fixed it's not a good idea to run v1.4.4.

Are there any issues with downgrading to the previous release?

Edit: this seems to fix the problem

You can get a list of the balances at various dates here:

https://blockchain.info/charts/balance?showDataPoints=true&timespan=&show_header=true&daysAverageString=1&scale=0&format=csv&address=1BV2Eupx1zNwqfFGnZHMWJPq6Qtjp4FciE

Specifically it was 0.00000543 BTC on 30/04/2014 and stayed at that until 18/06/2014. So on 12th May the balance was pretty much zero. It needed to be over 0.0001 BTC to be funded with CLAM I think.

I updated the bootstrap.dat file again. It goes to block 323111 now. If you're having trouble getting your CLAM client to sync over the p2p network, this should help.

I installed the new win64 version and 5 of my staked clams disappeared. Here is the story: My wallet, ver 1.4.4, started to stake several times in an hour but after 2 confirmations the staked clam would show conflicted. Five of the staked clams held on for 9,12,15,16,18 confirmations. I installed new wallet and those five now show conflicted (22 total now show conflicted). So far new wallet has not staked and shows 10 days to next stake. I have 35 clams in wallet how often should they stake? I was getting one clam per week but the last two weeks nothing, other than the 22 conflicted.

Wallet is working fine and everything is good.

What is recommended transaction fee for CLAMS?
I download windows wallet, and I need to set transaction fee or not?
And what set in reserved amount?

You do not need to set a transaction fee.
The default fee, given the tx size, will be used unless you set a static amount in the options.

Concerning "reserve", a reserve is a portion of your balance that you do not want to take part in staking.  It is used to make sure those coins do not go immature after staking and are available to send on a moments notice.  Most users will not have reason to use a reserve, and should be aware that if they choose to, it can prevent them from staking if they have large outputs or a large "reserve" set.

You should just pay a .01CLAM fee or more!  It goes back to the stakers anyways

Very few "leaks" in CLAM!

One interesting thing is that JD is that JD investors usually makes money off of the withdrawals it charges for its users.
