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

[Zenithar]

doog, can we have an updated graph for the digging? looks like he is slowing down ?

here's an updating one: http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/CLAM/charts.php?type=clamsupply
edit: albeit mostly long term

[chriswen]

Can someone do an analysis of Bitcoin balances on May 2014 of the digger?

[dannnyboy]

they tried to analyze but there was no solid answer. Meawhile I guess the digger is setting up a major bull trap as the price reaches 0.0063 and he is still digging. I can see the amounts moved on the bloockchain explorer.

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.

I currently have 18 CLAM's and it's takes about 30 days to stack one.

Any idea where to get more?

Before anyone to suggest I don't have money to buy more and I know all faucets. SO any ideas?

I've got a few different ways that you can earn CLAM through me.

A:  The faucets (listed at www.ClamcoinFaucets.com.)

B:  I have a new service coming out that will have a beautiful affiliate system that pays affiliates pretty much as soon as you "make a sale".  No account needed just a BTC or CLAM address (you can use your Just-Dice deposit address!)  Bookmark www.ClamChecker.com.

I recommend "milking" as many other coins, Bitcoin faucets and signature campaigns if you want to be a earner like that. Right now you have to earn free *Fill in crypto *prob btc* here" -> then into CLAM

No, screw that guy.

Sorry if I offended you in some way and a simple no would do it.

Yeah, I'm sorry about my rudeness. There was no need for it.

I wish faucets could somehow accumulate user balances and only allow withdrawals when they are of a significant value, because otherwise it costs the recipient more than the value of the withdrawal to spend it.

Same but kinda just working with what we have at the moment. (Seedtrue & I)

Right now it only sends when like 5 other people are ready for their coins too.  That's similar to the accumulate thing, but if it was like Moonbitcoin that'd be dope.

Waiting until 5 other people are ready saves you some tx fee money, but doesn't help anyone else. It still creates 5 economically unspendable outputs on the blockchain which end up taking up space on everyone's hard drive forever.

[dooglus]

Yep, I had a " in my passphrase. I have now changed that and started the import again. However, I now get:

Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)

That's talking about your CLAM wallet. In order to import private keys into your CLAM wallet from the BTC wallet, the CLAM wallet needs to be unlocked. It's the same as when you try to import a private key into any encrypted wallet - you need to unlock the wallet first:

$ bitcoin-cli importprivkey 5JyEXcta7Z3QUo9R4hDkEocK3mTChquRwKbsdXPoDJ27fN1sD6U
error: {"code":-13,"message":"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first."}
$

So in the QT interface, click 'Console' at the bottom of the left-hand pane, then type:

walletpassphrase fred 3600

where 'fred' is the CLAM wallet's passphrase, and 3600 is the number of seconds to unlock it for.

Then you'll be able to import your BTC wallet.

Edit: I experimented with the 'Console' window to see how to type passphrases with single and double quotes in them. It turns out you can quote single quotes using double quotes, and can quote double quotes using single quotes. You can also backslash-escape both types of quotes, but backslash escaping doesn't work inside single quotes. Probably the easiest way of doing it is to put a backslash before any single quote, double quote, and space in the passphrase:

My passphrase was:

a " b ' c

ie. 9 characters: a, space, double-quote, space, b, space, single-quote, space, c

I was able to unlock the wallet by typing any of these 3 commands:

walletpassphrase a\ \"\ b\ \'\ c 3600   (backslash-escaping each space and quote separately)
walletpassphrase 'a " b'" ' c" 3600     (single-quoting the double quote, and double-quoting the single quote)
walletpassphrase "a \" b ' c" 3600      (double-quoting the whole thing, and backslash-escaping the double-quote)

Yes, I'm aware that it is retarded that you need to go to these lengths. But I just noticed there's a menu entry: Misc->UnlockWallet, which lets you simply type the passphrase to unlock your wallet. It seems the default is to unlock for staking only, so you probably need to uncheck that option. And I don't see a way of specifying how long to unlock for, so you'll want to Misc->LockWallet when you're done importing.

You quoted me, but didn't say anything of your own?

I'm not sure that matters, does it? Any balance of 0.0001 BTC or more qualifies for the same amount of CLAM (around 4.6 CLAM).

His wallets don't seem to cooperate well with clustering, and so it's hard to determine how many addresses he owns using that technique.

See https://www.blockseer.com/addresses/1CjsEoG5JsK6UwgcH6yso6VqvcUPeeFYuL for instance. That's one of the digger's addresses, and blockseer is unable to "cluster" it with any other addresses.

Edit: blocks 8895, 8902, and 8918 each created 7120 outputs of 4.6 CLAMs each. The digger was able to dig 222, 240, and 203 outputs from each block respectively. That's 3.12%, 3.37% and 2.85%. So he's still digging roughly 3% of the outputs from each block. This is exactly what we would expect.

I think ClamChecker would be interesting thing cus I have ability get affiliets or referrals meaning "I spend for advertising".
I'm quiat a green in crypto so I haven't manage even sign up for Just-Dice LOL.

To be honest faucets are nice things but there not really any money in it to be made.

How do you pay your rent?

Offer a product or service

I pay my rent via bank in euros.

Unfortunetly product or service not things I can do cus I have 0 programming and coding skills.

I think you missed the point.

How do you get the euros you use to pay your rent? Presumably you get them in exchange for some product or service you sell. You could get CLAMs in the same way. There are services which don't require coding skills.

[dannnyboy]

thanks doog for keeping us posted, you're always helpful

I just hope he will finish so I can bet on JD again ...

Ou I see.. I getting small monthly income from government. LOL No online income.

Like told I'm pritty green in crypto. Less then a year when I made my first BTC address.

[dooglus]

We don't have a similar system for CLAMs yet. If we do, can I be the president?

Fine by me as long I can be the one who collects the money (CLAM's)

[bitbabba]

Is there a place where I can borrow some CLAMs?
