Hello, I wanted to ask how such a possibility with my purse withdrew two transactions 4.60545574 CLAM - my wallet was currently offline. The amount of relief looks as if I had paid a reward for someone dig CLAMs on clamchecker. Please understand the situation, thanks If this happens, how do I continue to keep CLAms in the wallet?

Please understand the situation, thanks If you did not make those transactions, and they do exist on the network/chain, it has to be assumed that your private keys are compromised. This is precisely why we recommend that users "claim"/dig their own CLAM, on their own system, with the official CLAM client.

I just use my official client CLAM and somehow while he was off with him gone transactions that are equal to the sum rewards, it seems I paid someone dig

The actual act of "digging" doesn't technically exist. Nothing changes on "digging" - the only effect of importing a wallet to "dig" is that the private keys now exist in your CLAM wallet, causing the software to "see" any CLAM associated with the public key connected to that private key. The only way for an out going transaction to exist and be verified by the network is for a transaction to be signed by the appropriate controlling private key.

I know this can be a bit complicated; but, I don't know that there is an easy answer. If you are seeing a spent transaction in your wallet, and you didn't send it, you need to ask yourself where else the keys in that wallet exist. There must be a copy somewhere else which signed the transactions.

Everything looks normal from our end. We store no keys and have no way of undoing transactions. All sales are final. I've reached out to 0n0t0le through PM to hopefully better help them.

What happened here is he dug up his 4.6 CLAMs for free on his own using the CLAM client, then gave the same private key to clamchecker. Clamchecker then worked its magic, leaving the guy out of pocket. Usually clamchecker customers only see the 3.5 CLAM or 0.005 BTC payment and don't get to see the 4.6 CLAM they could have had, but this example nicely illustrates the business model. [ Edit: it appears that people have misunderstood the above paragraph. I'm not saying clamchecker is being deceptive. I am saying that the end user doesn't usually see his 4.6 CLAM being replaced by a smaller amount like he did in this case. That is all. ] If anyone wants to send me 4.6 CLAMs I will gladly pay them 4 CLAMs for each 4.6 they send me. This is much better than the 3.5 CLAM that clamchecker pays and is therefore a valuable contribution to the community. Right?

I've been speaking to them in PM and what I gather is: The individual imported his Bitcoin private key mid 2015. The balance showed in his CLAM wallet, but no movement on the Blockchain due to no sweeping. John Doe then used the dig service on 10-9-15 using the same private key. This caused the coins to be transferred from their wallet. I think it is safe to say that the person is compromised... I'll shoot them another PM and let them know to tighten their security if that wasn't them using our site. I am saying that the end user doesn't usually see his 4.6 CLAM being replaced by a smaller amount like he did in this case. That is all. ]
I believe his 4.6 was replaced by 0 as I understand it correctly. He claims not to control http://blocktree.io/address/CLAM/xWYejBe2YZ2EkTEmR8LBMrwkemHjPhZBReI could be mistaken... it's very hard to understand them

Hi, I'm a beginner in cryptocurrency so be indulgent I think that the best way to promote CLAM (and the digging for CLAMs ) is to create a wallet that isn't a full node (simplified validation), like Multibit for Bitcoin, as waiting for the download of the blockchain may be unpleasing/annoying. What do you think?

I promised BayAreaCoins that I'll stop posting negatively about his service.
I've made my position very clear already; there's no need for me to say anything more on the subject.

Does Electrum even use SPV? I've read contradictory reports about that. https://electrum.org/ says "Electrum is fast, because it uses servers that index the Bitcoin blockchain" - does it require special electrum servers, or can it use regular bitcoin nodes? http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/spv.html tells me what an SPV client is, but doesn't say that Electrum is one. I guess it is, else why include that page in the documentation? Edit: if you stare at the Electrum home page hard enough you can make it show this: If you click for 'more information' you get this: I'm still working on seeing if I can stare hard enough to make that one change. Edit2: This post suggests that Electrum can't connect to regular Bitcoin peers, only special "Electrum servers". This post talks about the Patricia tree data structure, which lets the Electrum servers instantly locate all the transactions involving a particular address. I wonder how pure SPV wallets do this. Maybe they don't allow the importing of old private keys, so scanning a large blockchain for relevant transactions isn't needed.

Does Electrum even use SPV? I've read contradictory reports about that. Not exactly. It does include verifying transaction inclusion via merkle proofs, which is the essence of SPV but it doesn't work the exact same way as described in the white paper. Multibit is somewhat closer, and is also open source and could be forked, but most alts seem to stick with Electrum. In point of fact there are NO pure SPV wallets because SPV as described in the white paper also includes the network having a warning system against attacks, which doesn't exist, and the original description doesn't include any practical or privacy-preserving method for querying your transactions either.

I believe just-dice is the biggest stake holder and being able to stake on your own will take you quite some time, it's basically like mining bitcoins and it's you vs the rest of the people on one miner.

There's 1 block staked per minute, and you own 40 out of 800k trying to stake. That means you should stake about once every 800k/40 = 20k minutes. 20k minutes is 333.333 hours or 13.888 days. I'm surprised your client always shows something between 8 and 10 days. Try looking every hour for 8 hours. I'm pretty sure you'll see the number go over 10 as the difficulty rises. As for when you get something, it's impossible to say. On average you'll get 1 CLAM every 2 weeks, but with high variance.
