Yes, that worked. I first had to create a clam.conf file with server=1 in it to be able to unlock and then the importprivkey worked, but I got no Clams 
I guess I just had 'dust' on my addresses

I meant for you to type 'walletpassphrase' in the same debug console you showed in your screenshot, but using the 'clamd' interface works too.

It's possible your DOGE were in a 'change' address on the day the snapshot was taken. You might want to try importing the whole DOGE wallet (after unlocking your CLAM wallet, as before). That will cause it to check all the change addresses you might own too.

Ok, this is what I have tried now. I enter walletpassphrase XXXXXXXXXXXXXX 3600 and press enter. This seems to work. I then go and choose import the wallet.dat from the Dogecoin directory:
/Users/family/Library/Application Support/Dogecoin/wallet.dat (I am using a Mac) - the only 'special' character is the 'space' and I get the same JSON error as before. I have attached two screen shots:

Right, this was a bit of an oversight since we didn't expect Unix paths to contain spaces(we didn't have a Mac build at the time). If you place the wallet.dat in a path with no spaces, you should be able to use File->Import Wallet properly. That will let you scan all of the change addresses in your wallet without manually entering them. You won't need to use walletpassphrase either. Hope that helps.

Hi there, I am just new to CLAMS and have a question

Do I need to have a complete CLAM coin in order to get the possibility to receive a CLAM for staking?

In other words, I have only managed to get 0.06 CLAM from faucets and selling some dogecoins. Woudl I get some benefit from staking or it is absolutely needed to have mor CLAM?

I do know that 1 CLAM every minute is distributed randomly in proportion of CLAM staked, but I do not know if having a fraction of a CLAM makes you ellegible.

Thanks in advance.

You'd be better off making a account at Just-dice and staking along with the group. (unless you are fucking lucky)

Awesome!  I'll make a bug report on this. Cheers!

Hi there, I am just new to CLAMS and have a question

Do I need to have a complete CLAM coin in order to get the possibility to receive a CLAM for staking?

No, but the probability of staking decreases if you have smaller amounts.

500 CLAMs will stake about once per day.
1 CLAM will stakes about once per 500 days.
So 0.06 CLAMs will stake about once per 22 years.

You might get lucky, but it's probably not worth even trying.

[Vortex20000]

I'm officially an idiot. I installed clamd on one of my development servers and sent about .3 BTC worth of clam to it to stake, then I just recently reinstalled the operating system, accidentally deleting the wallet files without thinking.

...and they weren't imported from BTC addresses.

Boohoo.

For those BTC-oriented, 500 CLAM is about 2.85BTC.

500 CLAMs will stake about once per day.

For those BTC-oriented, 500 CLAM is about 2.85BTC.

It doesn't really matter. If 500 X stakes 1 X per day, that's a gain of 0.2% per day. It doesn't really matter what the X's are worth (so long as it's constant) since you're making 0.2% per day no matter what.

Turns out the price of CLAM is on the rise against BTC for whatever reason and so you're making a little more than 0.2% per day at the moment. The numbers will decrease over time as the stake rate is fixed targetting 1 CLAM per minute, and the total supply is increasing.

What OS were you using? Is undelete an option?

Wonder if anyone has written a utility to scan raw sectors and pull out plausible looking coin keys? I just had a quick look at my clam wallet.dat, and there are strings which could be used to quickly locate the contents of the deleted file, such as "main", "keymeta", and "pool."

A very good option - though it almost sounds like it was a cloud-based/server-as-a-service situation

I think I've seen tools before which scan for private key information. The on-disk format of a private key has a lot of static bytes in it I think (unless of course you encrypted the wallet, in which case that's less likely to be true - though then the 'keymeta' and such will still be in the clear.

Do cloud-based server providers wipe the hard drives before provisioning a 'new' server? Or is there a possibility that you can scan the 'free' space on your new server and scan for the previous owner's wallet data?

[rakesh.technorizen]

I am new here, i am looking for php api here,

also i have few questions.

1.) How to know any address has Clams ?
2.) How to valid address for Clams ?
3.) Is there any PHP API for developer ?

What PHP API? You can interact with the wallet using it's server function (server=1) and JSON-RPC PHP, a free library for running JSON-RPC commands with PHP.

Thanks for reply, but it will be pleasure  to me if you give a example

with use json_rpc client

can you post php code with json rpc client how to use send clams to other address

Help me please.

It came out a couple of years ago that by default, digitalocean do NOT wipe customer data when they delete their VM, so it was possible for future customers who were allocated the same space to access the remnants.

https://github.com/fog/fog/issues/2525
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6983097

I think they've changed this behaviour now, but I'm not sure.

Along similar lines: I once requested that a second hard drive be added to my dedicated server. The tech doing it was nice enough to mount the drive and add it to fstab, which meant that a previous customer's data (!) was immediately and easily accessible. They didn't bother to zero fill it.

Thanks for reply sir , but i am facing another problem , i tried 1.) khashier.com/ 2.) http://blockexplorer.com/ 3.) also clam client network

there is no option for username and password

how i will create username and password in these sites ?

[Nht5alusio]

op says they sent clams to over 3.1 million unique addresses of btc, ltc and that other thing.
did op manually copy and paste and send to all 3.1 million addresses?

<?php

I believe that khashier.com and blockexplorer.com only show transactions. AFAIK, they do not hold any value for third parties (ie, they're not a bank)

The sample source code that I posted assumes you have a CLAM client running on the same computer. The username and password would be contained within clam.conf. If the user/pass are not already there, you can edit the file and add them manually:

rpcuser=CHOOSE_A_USERNAME
rpcpassword=CHOOSE_A_PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Run 'clamd'. It will tell you something like:

Error: To use clamd, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/home/rakesh/.clam/clam.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=clamrpc
rpcpassword=8SJafhJF75k2GM2tFxjAsMGhS8GdBou2aH4QVEWjGqx8
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Clam Alert" admin@foo.com

Those are the username and password: whatever you put in the clam.conf file.
