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

[chilly2k]

Is there a tutorial how to setup a CLAM Node with a raspberry Pi ? I sure would like to run a CLAM node.

Not aware of a "guide"; but, there was a user just a few pages back in the forum here who did just that!
Maybe, between the two of you, you could get a guide together for the community?

can you give a link? I read the last 20 pages but did not find it...

They were running it on a similar device; not exactly a raspberry pi.

Don't have the time at the moment to dig   Was it chilly2k, maybe?  Can't remember

   Not me,  I'm on an Ubuntu server... 

Although the raspberry pi is a cool idea.  To many other projects. 

Ubuntu is no problem too, if I can get it running on that I might get it running on a raspberry too. Can you share some details about the node-install on ubuntu chilly2k? thanks

It was quite a while ago, so I don't remember the details.  I know I compiled the source for the clamd.  I couldn't get the QT to compile, but didn't really try that hard.  
I think the toughest part was getting all of the dependency's straightened out.   I'm no linux compiling expert, I think I followed some info, but I have a feeling it wasn't anything specific to clams.

I built the CLAM client on a new debian machine yesterday. I didn't build the QT client, only clamd, but it was pretty straightforward.

I didn't keep a log of everything I did, but it was very close to the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libdb5.3++-dev
git clone https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams.git
cd clams
git checkout v1.4.16
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
cd src
make -j 4 clamd

The --with-incompatible-bdb bit is because my wallets were made using a too-new version of BDB. The older recommended version isn't available in the debian repositories as far as I can tell.

Edit: doc/build-unix.md tells me that I can get the old 4.8 version if I wanted it:

Code:

db4.8 packages are available [here](https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin).
 You can add the repository using the following command:

        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
        sudo apt-get update

 Ubuntu 12.04 and later have packages for libdb5.1-dev and libdb5.1++-dev,
 but using these will break binary wallet compatibility, and is not recommended.

for Debian 7 (Wheezy) and later:
 The oldstable repository contains db4.8 packages.
 Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list,
 replacing [mirror] with any official debian mirror.

	deb http://[mirror]/debian/ oldstable main

To enable the change run

	sudo apt-get update

for other Debian & Ubuntu (with ppa):

	sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Edit: extra steps to build the QT client:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev
$ ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
$ cd src
$ make -j 4 qt/clam-qt

thanks chilly2k and dooglus, I will try getting a node running somewhere this week

@SuperClam

Is there an up-to-date bootstrap to download somewhere?
I've tried the whole day to sync - and it's been 'hanging' on '23 weeks behind' for hours now..
Tried restart client but no good..

How to import thousands of privkey from blockchain.info to CLAMs wallet-qt ?

No idea for a easy approaching to do that ?
I can do that single by single but they are really a lot . it takes a lot time

   Can you somehow get them into a file (Cut/Paste even).  Then create a script to import them.  I'm not a script guy, but I think I would figure it out if I had to do that by hand...

Assuming that Monopoly can get them into a file, one per line, I can show how to loop through the file in bash.

I would think that you'd want to go ahead and run your own clamclient for this, so if you go that route, it may just be a matter of formatting the file so that it's in WIF and clicking import.

Couldn't you just make your own wallet.dat?

[Monopoly]

I made an updated bootstrap.dat file for people having trouble syncing their client.

It goes up to block 592000 which was staked on Mon Aug 10 03:44:48 UTC 2015.

NO it goes up to block 401000 almost 18 weeks ago .....

What are you mean ? I could make but i don't know what is relation between it and my question ?

Put them in a file, then:

$ cat file | while read key; do clamd importprivkey $key "" false; done

How big is the file you downloaded?

It's meant to be 615,042,865 bytes.

I'm not going to download the whole thing to check, but it looks good when I start:

$ wget -S https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap.dat
[...]
  Content-Length: 615042865
[...]
Length: 615042865 (587M) [application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig]
[...]

I guess it's possible your ISP is caching an old version. Maybe try adding "?no-I-really-mean-it" to the end of the URL:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap.dat?no-I-really-mean-it

I think what chriswen is suggesting is that if your BTC addresses are in a bitcoin wallet then you could just use that bitcoin wallet in your clam client and voila.

But you're apparantly still having trouble syncing your clam client, eh?  It seems like it would be very slow, but you could in principle make a script to loop  through the private keys and generate raw transactions.  Are you sure that of your 1000s of private keys, all of them have funded clams?

I downloaded write .... at first minute almost imported 401000 and after that wallet is downloading other blocks .....

No i said from blockcahin.info .

I am Noob at technically of Bitcoin ....... i really don't understand your meaning of "generate raw transactions" and "writing a script to loop those" .
These privkeys are for my friends and me ,  we don't know how many of them have funded clams so want to do it easily just by importing .

NO it isn't downloading anything. Turn off your router. Unplug your ethernet. Switch off your cellphone. It will carry on importing from the bootstrap.dat.

The 401000 blocks were already downloaded. The rest will need importing from the bootstrap.dat file until it gets to the end (it goes up to block 592000 which was staked on Mon Aug 10 03:44:48 UTC 2015). Then and only then will it attempt to download anything. You'll have 1000 or so blocks left to download by the time it is done.

So why are you telling me I'm wrong about the number of blocks in a bootstrap file I created myself?

Check this out ! I found out that all my MicroSoul 0.01 coins is have for sale contain CLAM.

Is this first physical CLAM coin ? in some way it is I guess  

I have 40 coins left for sale:

That's quite an added bonus to the value.

It is indeed. I already sold 60 of these coins, so those buyers have that extra CLAM too (if they haven't redeemded the 0.1 BTC before may 12th 2014), I hope they do find out about it.

[forzendiablo]

seems CLAM will be going up, maybe to even 0.015
is there a pump or is this normal ?
