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

Can't the newer versions of clamd generate their own bootstrap file? I have a complete and valid blockchain db here, but it's apparently useless to the new version!

Does the upgrade require a REINDEX (local thrashing of HD to rebuild index) or a RESYNC (complete download of blockchain via the internets) ?

Just a reindex.

What makes you think it is redownloading the data rather than just reindexing it?

It really shouldn't be, unless for some reason it's using a different data directory.

- Length of time; it's been going for 12 hours, and it's only up to block 115670
- 650k+ lines in debug.log (from current run) referring to orphan blocks
- Many peers are showing large numbers for bytesrecv, tens or hundreds of megabytes worth of data
- Not sure if the txleveldb directory contents vary from install to install, but on the one which I upgraded, at block 5000 or so it was far smaller than my other install

What price will we see when dooglus leaves CLAM and start just-dice with Bitcoin?

[chilly2k]

0.007/BTC is very unsustainable when some bitcoin businesses have tens of thousands of CLAM and some will dump them on exchanges.

What price will we see when dooglus leaves CLAM and start just-dice with Bitcoin?

   Is somebody looking for cheap clams?      And Douglus has already said several times he will not be going back to bitcoin.

Hey gang, new to clam here. I am downloading client 1.4.5 is this the latest wallet to use? and also am downloading a bootstrap mentioned in previous post here. Ok, just don't want to waste time with wrong client

THX

[Nthused]

I've just found some CLAMs in my old wallets

v1.4.7 will be available soon as binaries,  if not already.  
Its' already available as sourcecode: https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/releases

So, I wouldn't install 1.4.5..  wait for 1.4.7

What are you going to do with it? Sell, play stack or invest?

[MinermanNC]

Silly question here, but anyone know if the wallet will run on windows XP 32 bit? Just curious. 

[LuckyBtc]

Yes, it will run on win xp.

Yes, it will run on win xp.  

Now it runs with everything.

[MinermanNC]

Well I'll be darn! thx ,was just firing up an old xp laptop and was going to try it,,,, so now I know thx!  

[MinermanNC]

ok, another silly question. Is their any advantage to running more than one wallet, on different PC's verses using just one wallet on one pc? since clams can be split, or is there any limitations using one wallet for everything lol 

THX again,

THX again,

Bad things can happen if you run the same wallet.dat file on multiple instances and/or computers etc..

I read in the past about how you shouldn't do that,  I would have to dig up a link

I think it would be ok with different wallet.dat files though on separate machines.

Yes you are very correct on that if using the same wallet.dat. What I am wondering is the latter, running say 5 wallets on their own pc, clean installs (own wallet.dat) So say, which is better or no difference? ex: 500 clams staking in 1 wallet on 1 pc, or 100 clams each staking on 5 different wallets. (100 on each wallet) Just didn't know if their is anything to be gained by multiple wallets, perhaps better for the client network I suppose but probably no real gain in actual staking rate or odds.... If you see what I am saying lol but I still wonder or maybe I am thinking to much into it

Just show advanced options in send..  and use the inputs button.

Send coins to different addresses (that you create in same wallet) using that,   to split them up..   no reason to use other wallet.dat's  

You can keep them all split up in the  same wallet,  I'm guessing you could even split the inputs/stacks up in the same address.

I keep my coins split up in small stacks/amounts, so others don't get tied up while staking.

Is that what you're talking about?

Any guide on how to claim coins from doge or btc into clams. Cant find guide or process to do so?

The only time it might be more efficient to split over multiple machines is in a situation where you have many thousands of outputs.
dooglus made some changes to the client over at Just-Dice, for instance.

The chance of a regular user hitting that bottleneck is almost non-existent.
So, unless you see the CPU on your system consistently maxed out; there is no benefit to having multiple machines.

In fact, it could possibly work against you, as you may orphan your own blocks.

If you are using standard wallet.dat files and clam-qt, the process is extremely simple:
We recommend that you empty the wallet before importing for security, though it is not required.

1. Back-up all wallet.dat files.
2. File -> Import Wallet.
3. Browse to wallet.dat file.
4. Done.


If you are using the clamd, the rpc/cli command is "importwallet".
