How to download the blockchain quickly? Stuck at 3 years...

Did you tried using dooglus' bootstrap?

Problems Getting Sync'd with the Network?

The following file may be placed in the data direcrory.  Then, simply restart the client:

dooglus' Bootstrap:
Bootstrap Post

 I heard from other people that used this method, it will speed up the process, but still it will take some time to sync. dunno how updated the bootstrap.dat is because I asked someone about the blockchain size file and he seems to be stuck in the same point as you.

How many coins will I receive from 10,000 coins  POS

I hope that this calculation is correct - this is how I calculate it for myself

$ ./clamd getstakinginfo
{
  ...
    "netstakeweight" : 656459.47131637,
}

Basicly the netstakeweight is the amout of the currently stacking coins

Formula YourCoins/netstakeweight*CoinsStakedPerDay = 10000/656459.47131637*24*60 ~= 21.93 clams per day

But it depend on many factors - Luck / how much is your coins split / ...

Looks good, but note that the 'netstakeweight' goes up and down a lot as the difficulty adjusts. You should sample it every hour for a day to see what's a good average level.

I just updated it.

Now: It goes up to block 1539700 which was staked on Sun Jun  4 01:40:32 UTC 2017.

I get an error when trying to import the bootstrap  

Also, I now have my old private keys. How do I convert them in way as to be able to import into the clam wallet? They are not in .dat just straight up text.

[vighter]

Are there any predictions for CLAM? I found a site saying short term 0.0032

What do you guys think?
If I check the 1 month graph, this sounds reasonable for me

 I'm not sure if when you mention "import" the bootstrap, you are referring to try to import it like a wallet, if that is the case look at the link that was given previously because it explain how you should do to get the bootstrap running, as you may see dooglus has said that is up today which is very good.

 For the second question, you can import your private keys one by one or in a group using several Bitcoin, Litecoin and Doge clients, the client that you use must allow you to "import" your private keys, some clients that use hierarchical deterministic wallet doesn't allow you to import private keys, I know that clients like Electrum allow you to import several Private Keys at once other like the clients QT version of the above mentioned crypto currencies allow you to do that using the console or command line interface with the command "importprivkey" (or something very similar in name), I don't remember if the command line allow you to import multiple at once but you can check the help of the command and see if there is a way, at least you can import it one by one. Using this method you can convert your Private Keys into a Wallet.dat file because it will be contained in the file to where you are doing the importing, it becomes part of it in most clients. Then you can use that file to get it imported in the ClamClient.

What is the latest working official version?

I have 1.4.17 and 1.4.7

What are you doing, and what happens? I've never heard of anyone having problems with the bootstrap file before, other than putting it in the wrong place and then you don't get an error, it just doesn't do anything.

hello, bit rusty here,   ive downloaded clam client and bootstrap. all was fine.   then ive replaced wallet with my old wallet.dat .    
now wallet wont sync.    havent done this in a while , have i missed something.

edit:   removed bootstrap wallet synced , coins accounted for.

What is the latest working official version?

I have 1.4.17 and 1.4.7

 When you refer to working official, maybe you're referring to the a "stable" version because the code provide by the developer's github is considered official, also i guess that older versions still are able to sync. Between the 2 versions that you have pointed out that you have the version 1.4.17 is the latest stable version at the time that I wrote this, don't let the .7 fool you, that version is behind 10 versions from the lastest version. You can see in the quote below, there is a v1.4.18 but is not released as a Stable version yet, you need to build it if you need it and test it. For last in the link that says Release Repository you can check the releases chronology.

CLAMs v1.4.17 STABLE
Download and Release Notes
Please build v1.4.18 if you intend to use the "creditstakestoaccount" feature.

Release Repository

[GKar]

Thanks. Stable is the better description for what I meant. 
Using the latest version and bootstrap was finally able to get synced.
It would not sync w/o bootstrap.

Are there any predictions for CLAM? I found a site saying short term 0.0032

What do you guys think?

Here is my idea on clams, it does have upside potential and the first target is 0.006 area

I think we are going to see another little dip over the next few month and see a few people take profits + a few eat losses.

I think we will curve like that later this year and into 2018 with good growth in 2018.

That is a pretty optimistic looking curve there. I'm not sure I see that much growth happening in such a short time.

Great chart as always... was a pretty decent size dig.

For clamd command line, do you have to issue a command for it to import from the bootstrap or just need to have the file in the same directory?

No extra parameters needed. If it finds bootstrap.dat in the data directory it will use that to import.

[gizmoh]

Around 19k clams were dug in the past 24 hours. This New whale digger is making Bank..

I believe xBPwwtnxd2QTXM5pyRrPcQ7ccAGZGoeNZX is the address he grouped/sent the clams to, whether its his or a poloniex address to sell.

Can someone investigate the possible source of those address.. Are they Btc addresses?
