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

[SebastianJu]

Yes but Bitcoin already has a number of trusted dice and casinos up so the fact that people exchange for this coin just to play dice seems a bit odd. An unnecessary step so to speak but I guess the staking is alluring.

You forget that just-dice is the oldest and most established dice site at all. So it has many fans already. Using clams is no real hurdle, only exchange on poloniex and that's it. But many hold clams on justdice as investor so they earn from justdice while playing.

The liquidity is not that great. Unless you are a small player you will take a significant hit from slippage in both directions.

Maybe that is consistent with what dooglas says he wants though, to keep things smaller.

Do you speak about the offsite invest or the orderbooks on the exchanges.

Yes, i lost some bitcoins when buying clams at the wrong time too. Additionally to holding clams you need to watch the bitcoin price since clams doesn't hold their own value compared to fiat but to bitcoin. So even if clamprice goes up, when you sell and bitcoin price went down in the meantime you would still have less USD, or whatever your countries currency is.

And i like to value in fiat because bitcoin is way too unstable.

If you speak about offsite invest then the solution would have been to simply lower offsite max to a point you are comfortable with. In fact it is pretty unlikely losing much, though it happened. Though as long as many small bets are played you would earn more compared to others. It's like leveraged trading...

Im not sure what you mean by offsite invest.

I was referring to exchanging, where if you are BTC holder, you will have to exchange your BTC for CLAMs in order to play and then exchange back if you win (or even if you just don't lose all your money). In doing BTC->CLAM you will likely pay above market price for a larger amount and doing CLAM->BTC you will likely sell below market price (in addition to exchange fees).

This effect is much more acute for larger amounts (anyone can trade 1 BTC without moving the market much), so this it serves to help keep BTC whales off JD and on other BTC gambling sites, which is what dooglus says he wanted (to keep the site smaller).

There is also the effect of longer-term fluctuations if you are investing on the site but as you say even BTC is volatile and it isn't necessarily a given that CLAM would be more volatile (relative to fiat). Over the past few months many alts have tended to trade opposite BTC.

Doog, what's going on with JD this morning? It's been down for ~2hrs now?

Something went wrong with the hardware and he is setting up a new server. Clams are all safe he says.

Just-dice appears to be down, hopefully it gets back up soon I have a lot invested in the bankroll.

*lol* Did you check out the post exactly above yours?

Anyway, the just-dice server had an hardware problem so dooglus is setting up a new server and is migrating just-dice to it. No coins lost.

I see that lol, still, hopefully it gets back up soon.

what is the latest windows wallet version and where is the download?

Maybe you should just check the beginning of the thread.

[mmfiore]

 I was not sure if that was the latest or not. The version I have is having trouble syncing. I have to continually close it out and restart to get it to progress.

Dooglus made a bootstrap that he updstes from time to time its here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.msg9772191#msg9772191

[mmfiore]

Thanks for the help. It is importing now and that should get me going. I appreciate the help.

I am trying to build Clam-qt on a (virtual) Linux 14.04 LTS 64 bit. Installed all dependencies but when I run ./automake I get this error:

It looks like those are only warnings.  It's letting you know that it's messinga round with some of your environment (GZIP_ENV) and makefile targets.  If you run ./configure && make after this, does it actually error?

278,000 clam profit now. impressive. clamdoge lost big the other night.

Yes I got an error running ./configure but after taking a close look it had to do with Berkely DB 4.8.... then I ran: ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb && make and that went OK.

You are right, the ./autogen.sh "errors" were just warnings.

But when I start ./clam-qt I get this error: error initializing wallet database enviroment /home/username/.clam!

[dooglus]

But when I start ./clam-qt I get this error: error initializing wallet database enviroment /home/username/.clam!

Do you have an existing wallet.dat in that folder, created using an incompatible version of the Berkeley DB? That's what it looks like to me.

Try renaming wallet.dat and trying again. It should make a new one. Use your old client to move any coins from the old wallet to an address in the new one.

I deleted all CLAM things. run sudo app-get update and reinstalled Libtool stuff.
Downloaded everything CLAM again, started form scrtach and it works now.

Downloaded bootstrap.dat, synced from HD, restarted clam-qt and the last 20 or so weeks are syncing now from the network.

Only weird things is, when I want to start clam-qt from the GUI it won't start, only by using Terminal window and then run command ./clam-qt

Does it work to run 'clam-qt' from the terminal when not in the directory that clam-qt is in? You may have forgotten to run 'sudo make install'. I'm not sure what lengths you went to to delete all CLAM things, but there could be an invalid symlink or some such.
