Read The Review On CLAMS @ Allcryptocoins.net

http://www.allcryptocoins.net/2015/12/altcoin-review-clams/

The first thing I notice is that the scrolling is messed up. I scroll using the touchpad on my laptop and it is far too fast to control.

I expect this is to blame, from the page source:

Then:

CLAMs stake in wallets like no other cryptocurrency does – making it interesting & awesome for coin holders

What do you mean by that? CLAM stakes much like all other PoS cryptos. Maybe the weight calculation is different than most, but end users probably won't notice that unless they're paying attention.

It can be said that CLAMs are perhaps one of the most safest investments you will ever find on exchanges!

CLAM is pretty volatile, certainly compared to Bitcoin. And you failed to mention that there are 14 million CLAMs sitting idle, waiting to be dug up, compared to just 1.5 million CLAMs making up the current active money supply. That acts as a potential massive increase to the money supply, surely suppresses the price, and makes CLAM less safe as an investment than it could be. But that's just like my opinion, man.

Well, okay, but it's definitely not the least safest.

I would say that they are probably somewhere around the middle in terms of safestness.

If Dooglus the Deceiver feels the need to call me a liar... I will come post regardless of how let go I am. 

I don't feel the need to call you names at all. I felt the need to respond to the false statement you made. There's a difference.

You can call me "Dooglus the Deceiver" if you like, but it would be more effective to actually point to anything I have said that was deceptive, rather than resorting to calling me names.

I'd say at this point I'm fairly god damn let go  

It really doesn't sound like it to me.

It's fairly deceptive to slowly leak your investment into Just-Dice at the opening rather than investing what you had to start with.

I understand though and it's just part of the game when you corner a market, but still want to appear fair.  

It really doesn't sound like it to me.

Feels like it to me and that's what counts.

I've tried to unfollow this thread, but it still keeps popping up in my unread posts for some reason.

I'll ask Salt for help later I guess.

So it looks like i got my clam staking. I have just over 500 in my wallet and it all ready says I should expect a stake within a day. Is that pretty accurate? I am thinking of pulling the other half out of just dice to help with the centralization issue and it seems like twice the inputs and twice the amount of clams would still net the average of 1 a day. Can I reasonably expect to average 1 a day?

BTW this has nothing to do with the ongoing controversy. I have nothing but admiration for Dooglus and Deb. I am willing to give up the bankroll proceeds to help the CLAMS network.  LLTGC

It's fairly deceptive to slowly leak your investment slowly ...

In some systems this would be fastly, in other systems it's more slowest.

Just staked my first clam! Less than 24 hours after building my piles.

I know it is only one clam but that was a cool moment for me. Maybe I should get out  more.  

On further review it says generated but not accepted. Is that a wallet issue or does that happen from time to time?

That happens now and then, but you should still keep your coin weight if it did not stake. Just keep waiting eventually you will get one that sticks and matures after a little bit of a wait

 The cool thing is you are supporting the network and contributing to clam starting to be more decentralized.

How many stacks of clams do you have and what size are the stacks?

I have 25 stacks of 20 currently. I am probably going to bring the rest over tomorrow. That will be another 25 stacks of 20. A few have more than 20. My total is around 1050.

Sounds reasonable, and consider yourself lucky if you start getting coins that stake within a week. With the current difficulty you should start seeing more and more stakes in about a month.

Just curious, why do you say "in a month"?  I thought coin age doesn't really matter with clam staking.. unless I'm missing something.

I just want to address the point about dooglus "cornering the market". Even if this were the case, why would that be a bad thing? I would hope that Doog wants to corner the market, even if there are large holders that wont sell at prices anywhere near what we see now. That would cause the price to spike benefiting all holders. It'd also be risky because it would draw attention to undug clams and risk waking up a digger. Who would be hurt by CLAM being cornered? Not gamblers, they buy in at market and can sell after, they just care about liquid btc or $ value. Not investors. Shorts on poloniex would be hurt, but it would serve them right for shorting a small supply coin that had the possibility of being cornered.

This is all just wishing though, as someone who holds CLAM.

You are correct; age does not figure into weight in CLAM.

CLAMs == weight.

i want to trst out something. can i get some CLAMs? xHoC7cVtmn8eEUCoaVNznMQZNgGjxG5qn2

Unless "thefix" meant there would be more clams (amount) from staking, but I don't see how that small of an amount gained in a month would make that big of a difference.
Maybe in a year or so I could see..

I am not sure I understand, why do I see the weight of stacks grow with age?

Are you saying that a 10 day old stack of 20 with a 200 weight has the same chance to stake as a stack of 20 with 1 weight?

If so I have been pretty lucky in spite of myself over the past year
