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

Can someone point me to a SIMPLE step by step how to claim clams from my ANDROID Doge wallet (on my phone)?

Edit:
Or was an Android wallet even out when clams were distributed??   Maybe I don't have any clams from that phone wallet?

Thanks in advance...  I can't seem to find an easy way to do this.

Is there only one DOGE wallet for Android? What's it called? Does it have some way of backing up the wallet or exporting the private keys?

Umm its this one by Langerhans

I think there is a way to back it up and export but I don't know how

"Beta" is kind of an arbitrary designation. The older versions have been around for longer, and so are less likely to contain surprises. The newer versions have more features and bug fixes, but potentially new bugs too.

There's a high-level list of the differences between each version here. But briefly:

v1.4.12 fixed a problem that several exchanges encountered, where if you have a lot of people sending tiny 'faucet' deposits to your wallet, you can end up with so much 'dust' that you can't make transactions any more. Tiny outputs cost more in fees to spend than they are worth, which caused a problem that this version fixed.

v1.4.13 and v1.4.14 didn't add much of any importance.

v1.4.15 updates the list of seed nodes. So if you're having trouble finding peers to connect to, that might help you. It also fixes a bug that prevented the RPC interface working on Windows, and adds code to ban misbehaving peers - so if you have a peer that is re-downloading the same blocks from you over and over and wasting your bandwidth, you might want to upgrade.

I'll be tagging v1.4.16 in the next day or two, which will use dynamic seeds that will always provide fresh peer addresses rather than using a hardcoded list of peers.

I would recommend using the newest version you can at the moment. I really don't think any of the recent changes will have introduced new problems.

Added the newest client version 1.4.15 to the OP post.


For those curious, here are the release notes for the four most recent versions:


1.4.15 - LINK

Ban forked peers who are stuck in a getblocks loop.
Add -staketo flag to allow us to move coins from one address to another as they stake.
Updated peer list to current node list from blocktree
Fix formatting on Windows when building using MinGW.

1.4.14 - LINK

Add optional 3rd parameter to dumpbootstrap to specify the first block number to dump.
Add a checkpoint at block 530,000. The last one was back in December last year.
New option -stake=<addr> to limit which outputs are allowed to stake to only those with the given address(es).

1.4.13 - LINK

Always show scriptPubKey in validateoutputs output, even for spent outputs.
Add -combineany flag to allow staking to merge any small outputs together regardless of their address.
Add raw parameter to getblock and getblockbynumber to allow dumping of raw block data suitable for use with submitblock.

1.4.12 - LINK

Fixed an issue with coin selection; previously the client would attempt to create transactions over 100kB in size if there were too many 'dust' outputs in the wallet. (dooglus)
Modified the signrawtransaction RPC command such that it will now use all available private keys to sign the transaction; previously if you specified private keys in the RPC command itself, it would only use those private keys and would ignore any in the wallet. It also wouldn't look up the scripts for multisig addresses in the wallet if keys were supplied in the RPC command. Now it does. (dooglus)
Changed Bitcoin references to Clam. (FuzzyHobbit)

I think you can start by verifying that your DOGE address(es) were funded using the Just-Dice chat.  I assume it works for any BTC,LTC,or DOGE address. 

1) got to just-dice.com
2) write in the chat "/dig YOURDOGEADDRESS"

That should print a message about whether or not your address was funded.  If it was funded, you can then see about extracting your private key from that app, if it wasn't funded, then you don't have to bother with it.

I hate to repeat myself - but, this is an important concept that users utilizing individual address check/claim systems need to understand:

Bitcoin based systems do not work like the vast majority of people believe.

Coins are stored on chain in what are called "outputs". 
Every single time that a transaction is sent, the TOTAL value of every involved output must be accounted for - this is important.
This most often results in what are called "change" addresses.

Essentially, your wallet software sends the remainder of any output not entirely "used" by the transaction to a new address.
This address is not an address that you manually created and is controlled by a private key which you likely do not even know that your wallet controls.


What does this mean for users attempting to claim distribution CLAMs?

If you are one of the few users who understand how "change" addresses function and are capable of ensuring that you check and claim every single key that could possibly control CLAMs, nothing.

However, most users are very likely to find that claiming the entire wallet (which automatically checks all keys, including "change" address controlling keys) results in a larger amount of CLAMs claimed.
This is accomplished by importing the wallet into the CLAM client directly.

Oh, is bitaddress.org yours too or did you rip their design only? I used bitaddress quite some time already.

No, bitaddress.org isn't mine. It's open-source, so I forked it and made a CLAM version. I also used a small bit from https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/bitcoinpaperwallet/generate-wallet.html (which itself is based on bitaddress.org) to allow skipping of the entropy collection.

Could this be the first CLAM paper wallet in the world?



He used photoshop to replace the low-resolution image produced by clamaddress.org with a higher resolution version. I wonder how best to allow clamaddress.org to produce print-ready images itself, while still fitting on the screen. Any ideas?

If its written in php then there are certain libraries that can create images out of text and such things. Its widely used with typo3, the cms, and it creates nice images. Im not sure what you will use it for but these things exist. Though they are rather big and they have a learning curve. At the end it will be easy.

So how do I get the wallet off my phone and do that? 

Do I have to file transfer from the phone somehow?

It still might be worth it to see if you have any clams in one of your "non-change" addresses before you go through the hassle.  Depending on your wallet software, you may be able to print a list of all your addresses and what their balances are (akin to listreceivedbyaddress in bitcoind-RPC).  If I were you, I'd assure myself there's at least some clams to be gotten, then I'd go about figuring out how to do the wallet import into the clam client (if it turns out yu have more than one address to claim from).

EDIT: some wallets, espcially mobile ones from a while ago actually use the sending address as the change address (not as common now that HD wallets are here) so you may actually only have the addresses you manually generated.

Uggghhh I can't get my address off the phone,  I can't see it.

The wallet keeps saying "Dogecoin wallet has stopped working" when I try to edit to see the whole address

Maybe I should just forget trying to get clams from that.

Bought CLAM on Cryptsy and after 20 hours still waiting for my withdraw. I be willing to say they don't have them to sell, and that is why I'm having a hard time with my withdraw.

*** WARNING *** Don't Buy CLAM at Cryptsy !!!!

Overall I find Cryptsy pretty good but back in May it took me about a week to get my CLAM out, got there eventually.

Another thing you could do would be to copy the app's data (on android, usually in something like /data/com.packagename.dogewalletname/) and start going through it manually.

Another idea, maybe you can generate a qr image of your address (a lot of mobile wallets have that).

Well my question is where can I buy CLAM and withdraw with no problems?

There was an alert on Bittrex that CLAM volume is low and can be delisted.

2.4 BTC volume today and it appears there is a bid now.

Just gonna keep on posting that my "pending withdraw" from Cryptsy is about 24 hours old and still a no show. Not even a reply from support about the ticket that is open. Cryptsy is so unprofessional.

You could ask for the withdrawal to be cancelled and convert to whatever and move elsewhere, they did this for me quickly, I made the mistake of retrying the CLAM withdrawal thinking it was just a hiccup

[tspacepilot]

I've used poloniex with good success (I didn't have to wait upon withdrawal).  I was only selling though, I didn't try to buy there.

Cryptsy stakes their CLAM wallet.

I would expect their wallet either needs sweeping of faucet dust or has most of their outputs immature due to recent staking.
