Hello,

is there any way to download the blockchain manually? Didnt find anything yet. It takes a lot of time, snychronizing through the wallet.

Thanks!

You can find it here: http://blocktree.io/peers/CLAM/. It's also in the OP.

Without this it will take a few days to download it all. (It was in my case)

Thank you! Got it now.


Edit: After placing the bootstrap.dat into clam folder, the progress of synchronization remains slow. Am i doing something wrong? Usually the way is to place the bootstrap.dat into user/appdata/roaming/clam (windows) and to restart the wallet, right?. I also tried to delete all userdata. Progress still slow.

Any idea?

I answered a similar question a few days ago:

I cannot figure out how to get the Bootstap.dat file I downloaded to be seen by Clamclient. I placed it in the same file folder as Wallet.dat...But the client didnt react to it

First off, you need to stop and restart the client before it will notice the bootstrap.dat file.

Secondly, take a look at this screenshot. See the "importing blocks" in the lower left corner? That means the client is processing the bootstrap.dat file. Do you see that?

Thirdly, you wrote "Bootstrap.dat". The filename should be all lowercase. I don't know if that actually matters in all operating systems, but it does in Linux. If it isn't being found, try renaming it to be all lowercase then restarting the client.

Finally, I just updated the bootstrap.dat file. See this post for the link. If you use the torrent link you should be able to update your existing bootstrap.dat file to the latest version without having to redownload the whole thing.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, dooglus.

In fact, the wallet shows "importing blocks", so the bootstrap.dat should has been recognized. I think i have the updated version of it, (666 mb, so bigger than the file on your screenshot).
Importing is running for an hour now, still more than 1 year remaining. I noticed, that the progress was pretty fast at beginning. After a while it slowed down significantly (i observed the growth of blk0001.dat in user folder).

Is that just normal? It would be ok, i just want to know, if i am doing anything wrong.

ShapeShift.io is excited to announce the launch of our newest tool, Skeleton. Skeleton allows websites to offer on-site exchanges so that their users don't have to leave the site in order to do an exchange. Allow your website users to buy or sell Clams directly from your site! Learn more about how you can add this to your site here and see a VIDEO example of how CoinCap has utilized this offering: http://bit.ly/1WvSoBx

Could we get some feedback on any users actively running the newest v1.4.17 build?

Assuming we have no outstanding issues, I intend to mark this newest version "stable".

Hi SuperClam
I've been using v1.4.17 for the last 5 days with no problems, no excessive data use and I've successfully staked

Hi, SuperClam and dooglus!

Can you please add a semi-automated SplitBlock function (just like HYP, TRK, FLT, CON has) to the next release of CLAMs wallet?

 
 
This function would be good for the fast splitting large amounts that just from exchanges.

Thanks!

From the release notes for CLAM v. 1.4.11 on May 16th:

...
The sendtoaddress and sendfrom RPC calls can now specify the amount as {"amount":aaa,"count":ccc} to cause the send amount to be split into ccc outputs each of size aaa CLAMs. This allows users to more easily split their coins into multiple outputs without needing to resort to the raw transactions calls.
...

This functionality is not available via coin control GUI; it is, however, available via the console.

I support this idea, it would be very nice to be able to implement this vi GUI in one of the next releases. It should not be that hard.

I don't work on the QT client, but patches are welcome here:

Does bittrex require photo ID verification if trade clamcoin to bitcoin?

Please post valid string for sendfrom RPC call (for example).

My results is bad:

Code:

sendfrom xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U "amount":0.03,"count":3
Error: Error parsing JSON:amount:0.03,count:3

sendfrom xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U amount:0.03,count:3
Error: Error parsing JSON:amount:0.03,count:3

Thanks and sorry for my english!

You can type "help sendfrom" to get help:

Code:

> help sendfrom
sendfrom <fromaccount> <toclamaddress> <amount> [minconf=1] [comment] [comment-to] [tx-comment]
<amount> is either an amount to send or {"count":c,"amount":a} which sends <c> separate outputs each of size <a> CLAMs

In your example, it looks like you're giving an address for the fromaccount. Note that sendfrom doesn't interpret the fromaccount as an address, but as an account. You might be better off using sendtoaddress:

Code:

> help sendtoaddress
sendtoaddress <clamaddress> <amount> [comment] [comment-to] [tx-comment]
<amount> is either an amount to send or {"count":c,"amount":a} which sends <c> separate outputs each of size <a> CLAMs

because then you don't need to specify the sending account.

Either way, here's the syntax:

Code:

> sendfrom account27 xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U '{"amount":0.03,"count":3}'
> sendtoaddress      xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U '{"amount":0.03,"count":3}'

[kePd8CT5]

Either way, here's the syntax:

Code:

> sendfrom account27 xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U '{"amount":0.03,"count":3}'
> sendtoaddress      xBUktxNzekwLnaHFtromJ3vmuDYZV7tg2U '{"amount":0.03,"count":3}'

Thanks for the quick response!
Great! It's works! But how to specify custom change address (using "sendfrom" RPC call, of course)?

Thanks!

Edit clam.conf in the same folder as wallet.dat, add:

change=xJDCLAMZ9rQ11tMf7JUw1Zzvjm5ShkryrU

Or specify -change=xJDCLAMZ9rQ11tMf7JUw1Zzvjm5ShkryrU on the command line when running the CLAM client.

Perfect! dooglus, you are the best developer in cryptoworld! 

Thanks again and Good Luck!

I'd like to offer a $150 project/reward (CLAM or BTC - your choice  ) for forking GeorgeKimionis's C# BitcoinLib for CLAM.

Project post: https://www.xbtfreelancer.com/project.php?return=myproject2&id=162

Library: https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib

Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place for this.

-C

Awarded... when it's done, it will be available to the CLAM community so that other (.Net) developers can use CLAM in their projects
