Dandi and I donated our revenue from www.Clamcoin.org today to Arkansas's Children's Hospital.

I suppose that's one of the positives about monetizing a website is that you can make a positive effect in the world little by little rather just spin your wheels and wonder why nothing changes.

Updates to the site will be coming soon with a plethora of CLAM information!

Thank you very much to everyone who has used or has recommended Clamcoin.org to a friend.

We know we aren't official, but we are fucking awesome :

NVM just found out about just-dice.com/clamadress

https://clamaddress.org/ is the canonical URL. I only put up a copy on just-dice.com because the DNS for clamaddress.org was taking too long to propagate.

I was thinking yesterday about the idea of paper HD wallets. It's silly to have to make a new random private key for each and every paper wallet when these exist:

 * BIP32 -- Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets
 * BIP39 -- Mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys
 * BIP44 -- Multi-Account Hierarchy for Deterministic Wallets

Together these give us a standard way of creating an infinite number of cold wallets while only needing to remember a single short list of random words.

I'll see what needs to be done to get https://dooglus.github.io/bip39/ to work with CLAM addresses.

The biggest problem with CLAM paper wallets though in my opinion is that there's very little demand for them. CLAMs need to be online to stake, otherwise you're losing out on the more than 1% per week you would be earning if you were staking.

Edit: I got https://dooglus.github.io/bip39/ working with CLAM, but I think it's probably better to see if we can get the changes merged into the parent repository, at https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ - I've opened an issue in github about doing so.

Edit2: I recommend not using https://dooglus.github.io/bip39/ at all other than for testing. It's new, untested, and probably broken in strange ways. In particular I 'assigned' CLAM the coin ID of 4, since it was the 4th coin added (counting from 0) - but I was working from an old version of the parent repo, and other coins have since been added.

Edit3: https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ now supports CLAM HD cold wallets. Copy it offline, have it generate a single list of 15 words, write it down, and you never need to generate another cold storage secret again.

I dont care much i just needed one cold wallet so i can store 10 clams and forget about them.

Same as i did with some stellard and dash . I just like to have some amount of alt coin that i made money on , its for free and one day that coin might be worth so much more or nothing. So i like to keep some small amount of each on a paper wallet and forget about it .

The neat thing about https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ is that you can use a single secret mnemonic to store all your altcoins, using the magic of BIP44.

It would be nice if it could generate QR codes for funding and spending from the offline addresses.

For the first time in a while there was a lot of "digging up of old CLAMs" last night (note the step up at the end of the red line):



See transaction [d1731070] for example.

It looks like most of the CLAMs were dug from an old DOGE wallet, from addresses like [DB4Yuty1] and [D7oFBuL8], with 7200 CLAMs ending up at [xJtwGGxj].

This is not working for me why?
Just click file -> import wallet!
Then password, is that my bitcoin QT wallet pass?
and i get Error: Error parsing JSON:password

Hi Guys,

 1)does anyone know if you had BTC in an exchange would it be possible to ask the exchange to dig the CLAMs for you?

 2)Is there any end date to dig CLAMs from your own wallet? (because I tried but it failed)

Thanks!

[BayAreaCoins]

1)does anyone know if you had BTC in an exchange would it be possible to ask the exchange to dig the CLAMs for you?

If you don't ask then the answer is always no.

Strongly recommend asking.

2)Is there any end date to dig CLAMs from your own wallet? (because I tried but it failed)

No, they never expire.

CLAMS are required to be online in order to stake though.

How many CLAMs I shod have to start staking? What's the recommendation?

You can stake with 1 CLAM  But as far as I know now, if you have 450 CLAM you would stake ± 1 CLAM a day.

Just a guess, if a JSON parser is failing, maybe the deal is that you need quotes around your password.  This is only a guess.

The new open source, hot compiled website is live and accepting contributions.

The website isn't perfect and needs a lot of work - I hope those in the community who have html, markdown, css, or js skills will band together to make the CLAM website the best in the crypto space.

thank sir, i will try and get a chance

Yes, it isn't telling the passphrase is wrong; but that there is an error parsing what the interface pulls in.

Try using the console tab and the importwallet command.
Use "help" in the console to get information about the command for formatting.

   Try walletpassphrase=your wallet pass phrase.

Make sure you enter it into the console in the right format.

Code:

importwallet FULL_PATH_TO_WALLET.dat passphrase true
