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

[senuketo]

Are CLAMs sent to every BTC/LTC/DOGE address that had some minimum coins? Or some get some don't.
What's the rule?

I know about the date and they were already distributed. What I meant was were CLAMs sent to each and every wallet? Or only to 30-50% or whatever the distribution rule is.

My personal wallet is Multibit too and I cannot recover them. I encounter an error. Will post back once I replicate it.

They were sent to any address that had a balance above dust (.1 for doge, .0001 for btc and ltc) on may 12, 2014

Many users have successfully claimed Multibit wallets, but the keys must be exported unencrypted (security of the system you are using is important, as always), in the right format.

How to use bootstrap.dat to sync with network?
this do not work

I'm one of those many.  I've pulled private keys out from multibit.  If you're using multibit HD there's a bit more work to do but it should still be doable.

Just a little heads up.

I fucked up today and got #clamcoin IRC taken over.  It was 100% my mistake and I'm in the processes of working with the chan creator in order to get it fixed.

At least that happened now rather than later I suppose.

Ok wow so I just "dug" for some clams in my old wallets and got a nice chunk of clams. Pretty happy but got some questions for any fellow clammers.

1.  Is there a max age for POS or have the coins I just dug up and never moved just got TONS of age and will find a POS block real fast?

2.  Is there any fast way to import the private keys from a .csv file like electrum produces? I know the importprivkey command but got a few hundred to try  so faster approach would be nice.

3. I'm sure if I looked hard enuf I could find it but any recent bootstrap file so I can speed the network syncing?

Thanks!

1. Age doesn't matter. Coins need to have not been involved in a transaction for 4 hours, and need to be mature (ie. 500 blocks since last stake), but that's all. Being older doesn't give you extra chance of staking. Each 4.6 CLAM output that you dug up has an expected time-to-stake of about 10 days. If you dug up 10 of them, you should see about 1 stake per day. Etc.

2. Write a loop to import the private keys. Use 'false' to tell it not to rescan the blockchain after importing each one:

  $ cat file.txt | while read key; do clamd importprivkey $key label false; done

(assuming the format is one private key per line; if not you'll need to add other filters to the pipeline)

If you wait 10 minutes from the time on this post, it'll be updated to block 611800.

Wow thx for the comprehensive answer! I'm glad I checked this coin out ended up digging 41.4 clams and I didn't even check every privkey in my electrum client(though I think I got the ones from the pertinent time period.)

Not every day you find 80 bucks just lying around!

You're welcome.

I think someone else recently found 10,000 CLAMs just lying around - hence the recent drop in price... There's been quite a lot of 'digging' going on the last few days.

dooglus,

When you put it like that...
Not sure if that is amazing, or frightening - but, certainly interesting.

why does CLAM tank?

Thank you dooglus.
Now I have no problem with syncchronization

dooglus answered above..  As of right now around 22k clams have been dug up in the last week. (Another 1k were dug up overnight).  It seems the person who dug these clams decided to sell.

Hi, so to dig for Clams, I just need to download, install and get the Clam wallet synced. Then I need to go File>Import Wallet; and point it to my BTC/LTC/DOGE wallet.dat and the Clam client will rake though all the addresses and let me know if I have any? If I do will it automatically add those Clam to my new Clam wallet?

Regards,

Richard

That pretty much covers it; except you only need to be sync'd to block ~10k to see if the claim was successful

[TheGift73]

Ah, thanks. Have just imported my BTC wallet (approx 3yrs old) and entered password as requested (currently at block 85567 in Clam) but nothing has happened as yet.

I guess it can take a while?

[TheGift73]

Keep getting this error when entering the password for my wallets:

Parse error: unbalanced ' or "

The error will show in the Console.
