Question, is it safe to put in your private keys into this wallet?

Question, is it safe to put in your private keys into this wallet?

Better safe than sorry.

Only put empty private keys into the wallet imo.  

However, a number of people have used private keys with coins on them and so far so good.

Thanks you, it was great help for me , but what is this now


most of this web-services not working

https://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api

This is an API specifically for that website. You won't be able to send funds, and I'm not even sure that they support CLAM?

In general, you will need to run your own client (wallet) to be able to send and receive funds. The code I posted communicates with the client.

As BayAreaCoins has suggested, we recommend that users first move their BTC, LTC and DOGE to a new address/pubKey before using the "old" pubKey to claim CLAM.

The pubKey/address doesn't need to CURRENTLY "control" the BTC, LTC and DOGE to claim the associated CLAM as long as it DID at the time of distribution.

This strategy only costs a single transaction fee, thus we recommend it as a common sense security precaution to eliminate even the remote possibility or impression of risk.

op says they sent clams to over 3.1 million unique addresses of btc, ltc and that other thing.
did op manually copy and paste and send to all 3.1 million addresses?

I very much doubt it. Such repetitive tasks would be scripted. And it was 3,208,032 addresses by the way, but only 3,207,929 different CLAM addresses were funded. Some people apparently used the same private key for BTC, LTC, and DOGE addresses, and so their three different addresses all come out as the same CLAM address.

See x9AnPHyGwRTVtqmHfw4K3wDGAWp1FwDoTv for example. It got 3 separate 4.6 CLAM gifts, because the same private key was used on all 3 coins - all 4 of these addresses have the same private key (although I don't know what it is):

   BTC: 1s9VR8ofhyTrTfRKTReckvUwQWmsBVjU4
  DOGE: D61F2g5Sy7skPTr243RDAX65pYF5GFrYm6
   LTC: LL66kdSdkNDX7GMaVbQwtmzF9ct3zUy3Hf
  CLAM: x9AnPHyGwRTVtqmHfw4K3wDGAWp1FwDoTv

You can build it from source or use a binary from the OP.

god damn this is the slowest synching client ever!

dooglus provides a bootstrap file, which should be linked in the OP post.  This can speed up sync time considerably.

I will look to update the peer list in the OP post as well - it has been some time.

If you look in your debug and notice any connect block or orphan issues, these can sometimes be resolved with a simple restart of the client.

Specific problems with accompanying debug information should be reported at the repository, here: https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/issues

oooh, 9 hr download .dat file

only 6h to go.. until i can start synching again...

Mine was ready within a few hours and that was two days ago.

mines been synching for 3 nights already and im only up to 30th Dec 2014.

neither the additional nodes nor the bootstrap.dat made a noticeable difference.

Strange, i didn't do anything special....and i'm on a mac

   Your either on a VERY slow computer, or your doing something wrong.  The bootstrap.dat should bring you up to some time in May or early June. 
Did you put the bootstrap.dat file in your clams roaming folder?

Heya clammers!  How's the CLAM price in BTC these days?  I've still got one more address which I'm sure was funded and which I haven't dug yet, wondering if it's time for me to move   I know you guys have the scoop.

why not dig it? idk about selling though, price has been stable and unless you need the money right away could very well be higher at some point. on the other hand if it's only the 4.6 it might not be worth your trouble to keep. in any case, dig away we need more clams

Well the why not is that it's an address I was using for cold-storage and since I don't want to keep my savings in an address that I've given away the private key for then I'd have to first move the coins that are there.  I'd do it if CLAM is high, but not worth the trouble if CLAM is low.  But hey, I thought all the addys that were funded were funded at the 4.6 level.  What other level is there?

here you go. i will make sig better. just wanted to bump thread and get credit

There's only the 4.6 level. I guess he means if it's only one address maybe it's not worth it, but if it's 100 addresses it is...

You don't have to give away the private key. I recently added a command to Just-Dice that will allow you to 'dig' your CLAM by signing a transaction on an offline machine.

For example, if I type this in the chat box:

/dig 1CrPRwBkwZdEejXusCbh8o35YMN7g7ffKf offline

It tells me:

00:21:40 INFO: run the following on an offline Linux machine, then broadcast the resulting hex value using https://just-dice.com/pushtx
00:21:41 INFO: the addr= part tells it where to send your CLAMs; the default is your Just-Dice deposit address
00:21:41 INFO: when prompted, type your private key:
00:21:41 INFO: echo -n "privkey: "; read privkey; addr=xMYvd61airRrnSUmV2oE1JhEqvzLdFWP7r; val=4.60535574; txid=b45c2a20731f8a88ba980f9cc9ce1d43cd7913d9c26ee3e8002ba1d08676b3de; vout=0; pubkey=76a91482007d41eec3a28b66b1ba726721d95577eb5a7688ac; output='"txid":"'$txid'","vout":'$vout; clamd signrawtransaction $(clamd createrawtransaction '[{'$output'}]' '{"'$addr'":'$val'}') '[{'$output',"scriptPubKey":"'$pubkey'"}]' '["'$privkey'"]'

ie. it gives me a command that I can run on an offline machine that will sign a transaction that (when broadcast) sends the dug up CLAMs to an address of my choosing.

For more information, see this post that I made when I first implemented the command.

Brilliant move switching Just-Dice to CLAMs and bringing it back online dooglus. I only wish I'd realized you'd done it sooner so I could have tried to invest in some of the bankroll at an earlier point in time.

I know CLAMs is a decentralized currency, however, in a way it is sort of hanging in the fate of Just-Dice, in my opinion. If for some reason JD was ever shut down and could no longer operate on CLAMs, I think this would deal a heavy blow to the currency. I would think some merchant support starting early and growing could balance out any negative effects in the future if for some reason JD went down. Which, I don't see any reason this would happen, just thinking ahead. Do any merchants accept CLAMs for payment?
