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

[krile]

Are there any services online to check the status of the clam network?
Like the number of active nodes, their geographic location and other info...
Something like https://bitinfocharts.com/

http://blocktree.io/peers/CLAM/ ?

Thanks for the info!
But from what I see here, this site currently lists 49 active peers. My own clam client has 59 active connections atm. So this site is not measuring the number of all the nodes, just the ones it is currently connected to. (am I right?)
Am I missing something about the basics of the clams network, is it not possible to capture the number of all the active nodes? So in the same way that bitinfocharts displays the nodes of various coins, for example: https://bitinfocharts.com/blackcoin/nodes-active/
P.S. Sorry if this is a silly question

It is not an exact science, but there is no reason that one couldn't attempt to, and be reasonably successful at, listing a mostly comprehensive list of active nodes.

Ok, so at the moment there is no site like bitinfochars.com or getaddr.bitnodes.io for the clam network, that would give a rough overall picture of the size of the network.

I am just curious how big this network is...

What are the risks putting your wallet.dat in the clam wallet?
Ani`t it a trick to steal your bitcoin/dodge or ltc wallets later on?

It isn't a "trick".

That said, we recommend that you move any balance in BTC, LTC or DOGE to a fresh wallet before importing the old wallet and make your claim.

The balance doesn't need to be in the wallet/chain at this present moment(only when the distribution happened), so why add additional exposure when it isn't required.

If the wallet has been emptied prior to claiming the risk is no different than importing any other random set of characters.

Hello all,
I have around 70-80 BTC addresses with little amount of BTC since 2013. How I can earn with clams?
I do not know anything about this currency?
Thanks!!!

Sounds like you're about to hit the jackpot...I got 9.2 clams after importing my wallet from 2013! free money, yay!

Also don't use that wallet again afterward. Most wallet.dat files include preallocated keys, so future use could (and likely would) involve private keys that were exposed to the clam importer.

This exactly. We usually recommend that you "empty and retire" your wallet before using it to claim CLAMs.

Doing so protects the CLAM developers as well as yourself. If you use your old BTC wallet to claim CLAMs, then continue to use it with the Bitcoin client afterwards and somehow manage to get your computer compromised and have your coins stolen, you'll never been 100% sure that the CLAM client didn't do something sneaky with the wallet you gave it. If instead you retire your old wallet and switch to a new one, you can't blame the CLAM client when your new wallet gets compromised.

Of course, if you're going to be downloading random executables from the Internet and running them on the same machine you use for your Bitcoin wallet, you're going to end up having your coins stolen anyway. But that's a separate issue, and more about practicing safe computing than anything about the trustworthiness of this particular client.

I just found out i had 13.8 CLAMS, is staking feasible with this amount? Should we expect the price to raise up again to 0.01 BTC/CLAM levels?

[Coins168]

just started using clams faucet to earn some clams, I noticed that there's only a few faucets around for clams

I just found out i had 13.8 CLAMS, is staking feasible with this amount?...

Move your mouse over the ticket icon on the bottom left corner of the clam client.  It will pop up a message on the expected stake time.

guys how do i -reindex wallet
when i type -reindex on console it says "method not found" ??

The network weight is currently showing as 742000.
Divide that by your number of CLAMs to get a number of minutes per stake.
Divide by 60 and 24 to get an expected number of days to stake.

I get 742000 / 13.8 / 60 / 24 = 37.33 days.

So it's "feasible" but probably not worthwhile unless you were going to be leaving the computer on all the time anyway.

Run the client executable with the -reindex flag.

In Windows that probably means either using the command line cmd.txt tool to launch it:

  clam-qt -reindex

Or editing the properties of the shortcut you use to launch it, and adding -reindex to the target.

Probably already asked a lot but can't find it that quick.

Is it safe to import a wallet which is still in use?

It maybe "safe", but why risk it?

Don't be lazy and sweep your coins out of the compromised wallets is my recommendation.

Importing a wallet basically makes a copy of it inside the CLAM wallet. So if anyone ever manages to get a copy of your CLAM wallet, they will also have access to any coins in any of the wallets you imported into it. The official version of the CLAM client itself doesn't take advantage of that, but someone managing to get a copy of your CLAM wallet could do, as could a rogue unofficial version of the CLAM client. So recommended standard practice is to empty and retire your wallets before importing them into the CLAM client.

Isn't this insanely beneficial for exchanges since they hold vast amount of addresses that their users used to deposit btc/ltc/doge ?
I have skimmed over some of mine, and clam has been claimed on them, which proves this ?!
