Stopped client. Grabbed all of the files I needed then used "cat" command to create one bootstrap.dat file. Put this in the ".clam" folder with my wallet.dat.
Restarted client, but it's not using the bootstrap.dat... just still loading slowly as normal... on a Linux system. Am I missing something?
It needs to be called "bootstrap.dat" all in lower case, and put in the same directory as the CLAM wallet.dat - it's ~/.clam/ by default on Linux. %APPDATA%/CLAM/ maybe on Windows. |

I have some old imported addresses at blockchain.info that I can export the private keys from.
Is the conclusion of the past few posts that it will not work importing these into the Clam client but it will work using either FreeBitcoins or better still Just-Dice.com?
No, it should work importing it into the CLAM client if you can get the client to sync the first 10k or so blocks. The last guy was having trouble with that it seems, so we recommended using a third party site, but using the client should work too. Thanks I’ll try the CLAM client first then. |

Note that you only need to sync up the first 10k blocks to see your free CLAMs appear. If they don't appear then, something's wrong. |

Yes, that is what I named it, and that is the dir I put it in... still no go. I don't have experience with the bootstrap.dat, but it seems like you used the method of combining all the bootstrap partial files to make a single bootstrap.dat, maybe you should try using the bootstrap.dat that comes in a single file, in case you want to keep the one that you have atm just rename it, copy the bootstrap that is a single file, it goes to Sat Aug 5 23:18:40 UTC 2017, so you will only have to sync around 10 days after that. you can find it at this dooglus' post it's the first link, the second is the same but for torrent. below a quote about how to figure out if your bootstrap is working, from the same post linked before. If you are using the QT client, it will say "importing blocks" in the lower left corner while the bootstrap.dat file is imported. That is how you can tell that the file is being used.

if you need something leave me a message.

Note that you only need to sync up the first 10k blocks to see your free CLAMs appear. If they don't appear then, something's wrong. Note that the CLAM market moves up and down very fast... the CLAM wallet syncs extremely slow. You maybe better off digging through a third party rather than waiting and seeing where the market takes you. (The market could go up though too of course) Like the one dude several post ago that dug through my service and bought back 5.5 CLAMS a day or so later. The wallet syncing could take over a week. |

Good point, I’ll start keeping an eye on the market, I’m only 6 days behind now, can always change plan… |

wherever I put it DL blockchain continues from two years ago.
The last one I uploaded was 1,836,581,341 bytes. It takes a while to import. But you should see "importing" in the bottom left corner of your client instead of "syncing" if it's using the bootstrap file I think. |

I find that exiting and starting the wallet about every 1/2 hr speeds up the process considerably. Cheers Jon  |

I find that exiting and starting the wallet about every 1/2 hr speeds up the process considerably. Cheers Jon Often had problems syncing wallet after long periods of coins elsewhere. keeping an eye on the logfile shows (in my case anyway) problems with orphans ... many orphans. I now look out for something like ProcessBlock: ORPHAN BLOCK 751, prev=6169a00daf82fcc979f3353ffb6eebb549940d303f0335b24d00abda7df0f990 ERROR: ProcessBlock() : duplicate proof-of-stake (COutPoint(d5814acfb9, 1), 1501411456) for orphan block It's the 751 that rings alarm bells In my case orphans will increment up to this number and then the wallet seems to get stuck. 751 repeats ad nauseam and sync progress stalls. A quick restart - the blockage clears and sync progresses .... rinse ... repeat as required I don't truly understand what mechanism is at play here but restarts at this point always appear beneficial. Hope this is useful |

Xploited and the CLAM developers don't want to spend $40 a month to keep it running. I've offered to pay the monthy cost in exchange for my Google Adsense ads placed on the site. |

It would be great if you could work out that deal and get one of them back up.
I did notice that khashier.com now directs to clamsight.com, so maybe something is in the works to get clamsight.com back up?
In the mean time, is the explorer at presstab.pw the only clam block explorer available now?
