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

No, really, don't delete this post. Chuck may be in favor of censorship but you don't have to be. This is not a rant against a person. I want this added as a petition to Clamour. I can't download and run the client on my PC so how am going to create a petition? I can't do that from the withdrawal on JD can I?

There needs to be an advisory in an anonymous way for people to register their dissatisfaction with how speech is handled in the community. Anybody here is can be muted or banned by getting on the wrong side of Chuck or any mod. The most important factor is that Clam largely derives its value from JD with many people making substantial investments along side Dooglus. The actions of Dooglus, Deb and their mods directly affect the value of this crypto. JD is a private enterprise and can make a speech policy which is deliberately restrictive of ideas they don't like. Clam is also a private enterprise which shouldn't restrict speech or the ability of owners to handle private property in ways they see fit. However, why shouldn't there be a discussion between two private enterprises which have a business arrangement. This is generally how business is conducted if one company is unhappy with the actions of another which might be harmful to either or both.

It is well known that JD will give orders to alter mod behavior in the interest of business. Why don't we gather up the info on the person sent packing, Chuck and myself. Let us see who is contributing the most through playing, creating faucets or creating fees. I'll go out on a limb and say the person sent packing has done more for Clam than almost anybody not directly a part of JD or a Dev. I have a decent amount wagered and lost on the site which is probably a magnitude greater than Chuck. So, maybe the problem is the person whose contribution seems to be banning people who actually work to make it a success.

This brings me to the second point and return to the issue of stakeholder democracy. As stated previously, the idea generally seems grand to those deemed stakeholders or pigs found to be more equal than others. This leads the lesser equals with little alternative but to be at the mercy of equals? I should congratulate Clamour for not being like this in the way Marxism and various off shoots are, several people have stated this is about being unequal and securing that fact. The fact is you have disenfranchised a large portion of the user base with this system. I can neither vote nor add a petition for several reasons. The first is I have no Clams and therefor any vote I cast will count for zero under the staking allocation of votes. The second is that I am unable to run the Clam client of on my PC due to the poor DSL and wallet software drastically slowing down my rig. I downloaded it but it never synced and is too far behind now to try again without leaving it running for sev
eral days. Don't even try to say download the torrent.

This system is very similar to the the early American restriction of voters to male property owners. The U.S. and Anglosphere have the remarkable ability to reform themselves which is probably why we have avoided internal revolutions. The unfairness of male property owners having an outsized voice in society has long been known. In fact, we in the U.S. deliberately expressed the ability of any person 18 years or older, with very few exceptions, to cast their vote by amending the Constitution by explicitly stating it. There are countless people whose voices are silenced even though they use Clam regularly but don't stake any. It gets even better. Clams is substantially more dependent on the disenfranchised then by the currently blessed stakeholders.

CC has expressed the long term problem with Clams is paying for the upkeep of the Clamchain and that long-term holders wouldn't be paying their share of the costs under the current system. The people who do support Clams financially are those that use it as a currency on a regular basis. I pay fees every time I conduct a transaction which is the same regardless of size. Why don't you add up the various fees paid by wallets and see who it is that is contributing the most to health of the network. Don't forget that owners are charged fees for withdrawing so that a person withdrawing from JD is paying that transaction cost. Then, and this will be my next petition, is for votes to be allocated by the financial contribution each address makes for the longterm health of the Clamchain. Hmmm, wouldn't want to emulate the more equal than equal system so how about every address that pays a fee within a window gets a vote. We could call the system POF, Proof of Fees. It would naturally
be pronounced poof.

So, here we go again. Please add the following petition to clam chain in the spirit of democracy, free speech and free enterprise:

Is this where we put proposals? Here is mine:

Stop censoring shit you don't like
