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

[Ayers]

is it possible to claim more clam from my doge, litecoin and bitcoin wallet, i have some bitcoin wallet that is unused now and had many transactions going on in the past, can i get something out of it or there is no use anymore? and on what is based the amount of clam i can get? on the amount of btc that were in my wallet or the amount of transactions?

[dooglus]

on what is based the amount of clam i can get? on the amount of btc that were in my wallet or the amount of transactions?

Neither of those. It is based entirely on the number of different addresses you have which contained (non dust) funds on 12th May 2014. You get 4.6 CLAMs for each of them.

why only on that particular day there is a reason behind this? the coin was launched may 24, would make sense the 24th of the month if it based on that, and there is a way to see my hidden address on core? i want to see how many i have in that date

This is what I did:

1) Downloaded the clam client.  It was taking forever so I downloaded the block chain snapshots.  This took a few days.
2) Emptied out my Bitcoin wallet (transferred all the coins to my Trezor hardware wallet).
3) Imported my Bitcoin wallet into my Clam wallet.
4) Got a few clams because some of the addresses in my Bitcoin wallet had value on the distribution date.

Pretty easy.

There is a lot of information about this if you just search for it.  Try Google.  That is the search engine I use.

why only on that particular day there is a reason behind this?

Because it is by far the fairest and most efficient way to create an initial distribution of coins.  If you have an idea for a better way you can, of course, create your own coin using your method.

Proof of Stake based on Proof of Work ftw IMO.

yeah i searched before posting, and on reddit they don't mention that you only get the coins from the 12th of the month of may, but you get everything prior the 16th of the month, look at this https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2pjeh5/heard_about_this_clam_stuff_how_i_got_64_in/

I don't know why the particular block heights were chosen. I didn't hear about CLAM until a while after it launched.

The specific blocks at which the snapshots were taken:

   BTC block 300377 (2014-05-12 12:48:17)
   LTC block 565693 (2014-05-12 13:06:31)
  DOGE block 218556 (2014-05-12 13:09:17)

but why on reddit they are implying otherwise? i find it strange that you have only one day windows for the claiming, it make more sense if there was a range of days, well i think i'm going to throw a wallet at it and see what i can get

   Reddit is wrong.  It's a snapshot.   It was all addresses that had non-dust amounts at that second in time.  This is the same process that millions of other coins have done.  Take ETH/ETC, if you had ETH when there block chain forked, you had just as many ETC.  This is almost the same.  If you had BTC/LTC/DOGE at the snapshot time, in an address, you got clams.  Actually you have forever to claim them, but you only got them if you had addresses at the snapshot time. 

   They took a snap shot of each block chain.  Calculated what addresses had non-dust amounts still in them at that point.  Then preloaded the clams blockchain with 4.3 clams per clams address that corrosponded to the BTC/LTC/DOGE address.

 Is it still possible to find a bootstrap file somewhere?

Yes.  Use your eyes and search button or check the Just-Dice.com FAQ.

Take ETH/ETC, if you had ETH when there block chain forked, you had just as many ETC.  This is almost the same.

It is actually not even remotely the same, for better or worse. Giving equal amounts to near-dust as large balances enormously changes the distribution.

In the sense of being a snapshot of a single block, I would assume that part is correct but I wasn't around and haven't looked closely so I can't be sure.

Is there anyway to clam clams from a mobile wallet?

Yes

You just need to be able to get to the .dat or the private key.
