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

[BChydro]

I can't seem to gain access to my clams. I import wallet, type in password then nothing happens. What's weird is if I type in the wrong password still nothing happens. My wallet isn't synced yet though, could that be why?

EDIT: Found the answer to my own question. Yes, that is why. The ditribution clams weren't created in the genesis block, but in a range of blocks spanning past block 4000

Question please, i have bitcoin on poloniex could i have clams stashed away? Ok i've tried downloading clam wallet and having trouble with my linux os, i download, extracted but cannot get it started    Is anyone willing to help a fellow clam noobie please?

If the BTC was included in the initial distribution you should have CLAMs in your Polo account.

Sorry? I don't get your question. If you mean can you solo mine, then the answer is no.

Clam is a PoS coin. You earn by holding coins and keeping an unencrypted client open (or daemon).

CLAM to www.Buttcoins.com

Basically the site just shows how the private keys from Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Clamcoin are all the same.

The site lists all possible addresses, so basically it is like a free lotto for people with a lot of free time (and possibly pot.)

Site is finished yet, but I'm "digging" it!

I presume this is generated "live" based on the current page, rather than you precomputing everything... if you were able to do the latter I doubt you'd be sharing it with us.

Perhaps you could set up robots.txt to exclude most or all pages, so that crawlers don't waste resources indexing what is for all practical purposes a never ending site?

Correct

Ya I sure can tomorrow.

Sorry my post was badly phrased, I rephrased it. On one hand, it is likely that CLAM will be more used as time passed which is bullish for CLAM. But on the other hand right now most CLAM use is for just-dice so it is bearish for CLAM because it means CLAM high price is very dependent of one bitcoin casino and one bitcoin user dooglus.

I'm working on a feature for Just-Dice that will allow investors there to only deposit a fraction of their CLAMs and still have them all invested. It will use the CLAMs they deposit as collateral, and effectively lend them the rest to invest.

I'm hoping this will solve the issue we have with centralisation. If the biggest holders of CLAM at JD take advantage of this feature and move the majority of their balance offsite, Just-Dice should end up with way less than 50% of the CLAMs, which would be good for CLAM as a whole. Nobody wants to see over 50% of the CLAMs in a single centralised location.

On the other hand, what if as well as moving their coins offsite they also then dump them on an exchange, deciding that it's safer to hold them in BTC. That would be bad for the price, and may well end up with the coins being bought on the exchange and redeposited back onto JD by their new owners...

I guess we'll see how it goes.

I have a prototype up and running with play coins at doge-dice.com - you get 1000 free play coins when you visit, and you can get your 'loan' by typing /cold in the chat after investing.

Or on the just-dice bankroll. 1 CLAM is awarded every minute. If you have 1% of all CLAM coins you have 1% chance of getting 1 CLAM (+transactions fees) every minute.

I wasn't considering people dumping, but that makes sense as well. In any case, I am thinking it's probably better to have the outcome come out now, rather than later. It will help better analyze the market and see how things are going to work out.

doge-coin now redirects to just-dice.
The new feature will allow potential bigger profit so it could be bullish for CLAM Some investors will get burn and lose their CLAM which means they will have to buy more CLAM to re-invest.

I've been trying to follow the /cold feature that you're working on adding, but I guess I'm a little confused. I applaud the feature to reduce the centralized risk, I think it's brilliant. The part that i'm confused about is the trust part since it looks like you don't do a recurring check to see if the public address still has funds with it. So, what prevents people from lying about what they have and earning against that?  Maybe I misunderstood.

I don't check that you have any funds other than those you deposited.

When the coins you deposited and invested are no longer sufficient to cover the loss you would incur if a max-profit bet was won, your "offsite investment" is immediately zeroed.

In other words, your offsite investment is used to increase the rate at which your onsite investment grows and shrinks, but you're never allowed to run up a negative balance.

May I ask you what are the requirements to mint with PoS? I read that the funds should be about 8 hours old, but I didn't catch if there is a minimum amount to have in an address to be able to stake a block.

Thank you

No minimum, in fact, you can mint with 0 coins if I've got my head around the concept.

To be safe, have one [coin].

I'll be modifying this **Bitcoin** faucet I just made for CLAM and then we'll have another CLAM faucet/earning site.

All non-dust BTC LTC and DOGE addresses present on the moment of the distribution (May 2013) have received CLAM. You can check if your DOGE addresses have CLAM on the just-dice chat, more informations on the just-dice FAQ.
