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

[clf99]

I usually stake Bitbean, Digicube, Clam, Diamond, Tek(it takes very long), Hypserstake.  If you looking for stakes everyday Digicube has a 2000% interest rate and is currently valued at about 8 cents.  Clams are likely to outlive any of those coins I mentioned though.

Awesome.  Thanks.  So you've investigated this.  I hereby dub you an expert.  And you are saying, that clams are the best thing to stake.
That is your opinion, right?  Those other coins are not heavily traded anywhere or super active, right?  So in the POS world, clam wins.

right?

Yes I've done some research and have had personal experience with all of them.  The other coins besides Clam do not have much volume so they really aren't great if you're looking to do a "real" investment because it would alter the market by a huge amount if you buy or sell.  Clam is good I would stake it on just-dice though to get you're percentage every couple minutes instead of staking it by yourself and getting a stake every few days.  It just feels like you're making more money when it comes in faster lol. 

thank you very much for your insights.

i would submit that this exchange alone is one part of an answer to the fellow who thinks clams are worthless.
Clams are the best coin for staking.  And that in itself is a differentiator in the market that has value.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that guy actually believes what he is saying. He's making an amateur attempt at price manipulation, that's all.

Is there some way with the linux daemon to tell the date / timestamp of the last stake that occurred?

I have over 1.5k split up in small amounts and seems like almost over a week since my last stake.. is that normal?
(Used to seem like almost every day or every other day it would stake)

I don't know of a simple way, but this works for me:

Code:

$ clamd listtransactions '*' 10 | grep -A10 -E '"category" : "(immature|generate)"' | grep -E '"(category|time)"' | awk '{print $3}' | tr -d ',"' | while read category; do read time; echo "$(date -d @$time) : $category"; done

Change the 10 in the 4th word to a higher number if you have a lot of non-staking transactions since the most recent stake.

Probably correct.

The value of any currency is ultimately philosophical really, even gold coins.  Just because you can touch them doesn't necessarily make them valuable.  The fact that you can hammer them into a bracelet and give it to a girl and get laid gives gold a value that clams might not have, but when was the last time you heard of someone doing that?

The question of 'how are clams superior to other currencies?' is in part answered by - easy to stake either on JD (no backups required) or on your own box (must do backups), lendable on polo, easy to trade in a liquid market, easy to gamble with in various places.

This superiority is perhaps why the value in dollar terms might be justified.  It is still philosophical.  But so is the dollar.

Thanks, but that shows nothing for me.  There is no output.   Is it because i'm on version "version" : "v1.4.17-7-gac5324a" ?

16:28:36 (88888) <BayAreaCoins> AdolfSchnitzler, Are you VultureFund on bitcointalk?
16:28:41 (6) <AdolfSchnitzler> yes
16:28:43 (6) <AdolfSchnitzler> totaly
16:28:46 (88888) <BayAreaCoins> I thought so
16:28:45 (6) <AdolfSchnitzler> fucking plebs
16:28:51 (88888) <BayAreaCoins> fucking plebs

Sorry for calling you gay Adolf

This is wrong and that is not Adolf.

Vulture that means you are still gay

[bugsywugsy]

Its valid, but there is no private key when I issue that command

It's the 'ismine' field you're looking at. If it's false, you didn't import the private key for that address.

Use 'importprivkey YOURPRIVKEY' in the debug console to import it.

It's true.

Then a -rescan should fix it.

Tried it, how long does the rescan take? because the wallet still reads 0.00. I have headless wallet so I ran "clamd -rescan".

The time it takes is dependent on the number of transactions in your wallet. I think it should take less than 10 minutes if you don't have many.

You need to shut down your current clamd first:

  $ clamd stop

Then start a new one:

  $ clamd -rescan

bump...  trying to update, I guess I'll see if that helps...
I still don't get why staking seems to have stopped,  it says "true" in getstakinginfo & timeoffset is -1

Didn't do anything. Balance still 0.00. I think I have a broken wallet. But repair wallet doesn't help either.

Did you try dumpprivkey on that address... get the private key and re-import to a new wallet file... just what I would try..

Maybe, maybe not.  VultureFund strikes me as the kind of person who can't spell "plebe".

Did you get it sorted out?

Try the CLAMs IRC channel if not - someone there will be able to help you diagnose the problem.

I downloaded new source and recompiled.  Trying the gui version this time..  I see the last stake was Jan. 4th

Maybe I've just been this unlucky with staking,  estimated time is 15 hours so I'll wait and see again.

Variation is pretty big on small amounts, i remember you needed few thousand on the pre-digger times, so i guess now its even more. Edit: you can stake on just-dice.com but it has a fee, yet it should be covered by gamblers if you choose to offsite.

Ah, it seems https://clamaddress.org/ is yet another CloudFlare website. CloudFlare seems to always blame the host for the 522 errors that have a 99.9% chance of occurring.

CloudFlare was telling the truth. The IP address I told it to find the clamaddress web server on was timing out. That was because I had forgotten to tell CloudFlare the new IP address when I moved it a while ago.

It is working again now:
