Someone has plans for clam poker?

Discussion and ideas; I am not aware of a full-fledged project underway for Poker.

Not that I'm aware of either.

It is needed though, but needs to be quality shit.

Not much competition in the poker/crypto world atm... doors wide open! I hear the new SWC has issues ect.

Good time to pick up a lot of free customers.

you have to "import" your btc wallet to the clam client for you to claim your clams

From the clam client goto "file" then "import wallet"...

Just do yourself a favor and move any btc, ltc, doge from the wallet you are going to import. Also before doing any import make a backup and import the backup wallet.. you can call it 1btcwallet.dat and import it....

and if I can do it,,, anyone can Tongue...

You need to sync at least some of the blockchain before your CLAM will show up.

Your example 14zZ22 address was funded in block 5949, for example. You won't see its 4.6 CLAM in your wallet until you have synced up to block 5949. All initial distribution coins were funded by block 9262, so once you've synced that many you will see all your CLAM in your wallet.

To speed up syncing, check out my bootstrap.dat post.

Thank you for replys guys. But I already did it.

Step by step.

1. I have address 14zZ22SgYaLX54viNM5V4JGhfmccydq2EQ. I check here: http://clam.makejar.com/ site writes that this address has CLAM.

2. I check my bitcoin wallet with "listaddressgroupings", to shure that I really am the owner of address:



3. I export my bitcoin wallet to bitcoin.dat

4. I open CLAM client. 1.4.7. Full updated.



Clear wallet. With only one address:



5. I import my wallet to CLAM:



I write password:



6. And i get many new addresses:



And NO CLAMS!



I can not understand what the problem is

Please help.

Nice! I've never seen http://clam.makejar.com/

Good idea and great solve media spot.

Sent a 1 CLAM tip http://khashier.com/tx/91dd2be9dad42bf61c7397a9d1821a3ab3b414f6b75a6ff714483def1079d962

Please help.

There seems to be some situations where a -rescan doesn't take place appropriately after an import.

Please try running with -rescan.

I hadn't heard of this makejar place until you mentioned it. I would recommend using Just-Dice.com. Go to the chat tab, and type:
    /dig 14zZ22SgYaLX54viNM5V4JGhfmccydq2EQ

It will tell you whether the address was funded with free CLAM, and whether they were already claimed or not:

    17:43:08 INFO: CLAM address [xCJBuuH9] corresponding to BTC address [14zZ22Sg] was funded with 4.60545574 CLAM when the initial distribution was made; the CLAMs were already dug up, sorry

As you can see, the address was funded, but the CLAMs have already been claimed. The makejar site says the address doesn't have any CLAMs, but doesn't seem to distinguish between addresses which were never funded and addresses which were funded but already claimed.

If you click the xCJB... link above, you see two transactions: one in May 2014 funding the address, and one today spending it.

I guess this either means you did finally figure it out. Either that or there's a trojan on your computer and somebody else took the newly dug up CLAMs from you.

I presume a bootstrap does the same consistently and security checks as an initial sync? There's one coin which had some sort of "hiccup" on its blockchain, so a sync from scratch fails; to use it you have to unzip and use an archive of the database (blk*.dat) files directly. The problem with this is that it bypasses all checking of blocks by the client, so you're placing complete trust in the source of the archive.

tl;dr CLAM 'syncs' from bootstrap.dat as if the blocks came from a peer, correct?

Just closing and re-oping the client  enabled me to syn completely. I'm done within one day with 1mbps ISP.

bootstrap.dat is just a dump of all the blocks in the main chain in order. The client loads and verifies them just as it would if the blocks were downloaded one by one from a peer, yes.

If you end up with the same current block as the block explorer shows, then you have the same chain all the way back.

It would be possible for someone to offer a complete zipped-up copy of the blockchain along with the database index files so all you have to do is unzip and it's all already synced, but that would leave you open to deception. You would be relying on them to have verified the blocks for you and not manipulated the chain in any way afterwards.

Can someone pm me when the clams genesis block was mined.  Thanks!

I have my wallets on blockchain.info. Is there any way that I can still claim clams? I tried yacuna, and it keeps giving me an error code. I am almost positive both of my addresses should work, but I don't think I can get a wallet.dat from blockchain. Is there anything online?

Yes you can.

Be sure to export it in QT format.

What do I export though? Just the private key? What would I save it as after I copy it?

[SuperClam]

Every single blockchain.info user, the largest BTC web wallet provider, has ~$7 of CLAM waiting for them.

It would certainly be nice if blockchain.info would consider helping to make it super easy for users to claim their CLAM.
Providing a platform for staking and web wallet services for those same CLAM users would be even more impressive.

Let them know!

Any service in which you can get your hands on the private key, can be used to claim CLAM.
Simply use the console to import the keys individually.

Additionally, if you can get your keys in SIPA import format, they can be imported all at once via importwalletdump console command.
