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

[BayAreaCoins]

There are a ton of dead links in the OP.

Thanks for the heads up.

I checked them all, and found the following:

http://clamlotto.com/ gives the default nginx page (it's linked twice from OP)
All the links to inside clamclient.com just take you to the front page, for example: http://clamclient.com/#/irc/
Consider adding this block explorer: http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/CLAM/
Consider removing yacuna links - it's shutting down on Nov 15th
http://faucet.coin43.com/clams/ no longer seems to exist
Consider remove the node list now that the client can find its own nodes.
Consider removing the duplicate links from OP.

Missed some .

Missed some .

I tried my best to help, trying to be a productive member of the community.

The OP post is kind of big and confusing and could do with some pruning.

Removed the node list and added presstab's explorer.
The others were corrected about 20 minutes ago - force a hard refresh maybe..?

[xploited]

no blockchain?

The explorer is down for me as well.

The server provider had maint I was unaware of and rebooted the server unexpectedly.  Its back up now!

May consider removing MyFreeClams.com and adding FreeClam.com.

Last chance to report serious problems with v.1.4.17 - or else I am marking it STABLE.

Are you aware of https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/commit/fcdf335 ?

It fixes an issue with -creditstakestoaccounts, and was made shortly *after* v1.4.17 was released.

I don't know if you would call it a serious problem or not.

Could you please estimate CLAMs inflation?
thanks

[Noolz39]

What s normal price of CLAM coin?

[smooth]

Could you please estimate CLAMs inflation?
thanks

If you don't count claims I recently estimated it at 4% per month (from staking alone) but given the high rate of claims recently it is certainly dropping (since the rate of staking is constant the more coins there are the lower the rate of inflation).

Does clam have any bounty rewards system? Me thinks clams need to kick start some projects to get some positive acceleration.  I would be willing to donate some of my clams towards clam based projects if a trusted person would organize it.

Remember this?

Bounty offer:

I need two new CLAM vanity addresses. One for the hot wallet, and one for the staking wallet.

I want them both to start with xJDCLAMZ, case sensitive.

I want them both to use *compressed* public keys.

The standard vanitygen program isn't able to make CLAM addresses. I made a fork here:
  https://github.com/dooglus/vanitygen
which does.

Well, I need another xJDCLAMZ address.

Just the one this time, but I'll pay 100 CLAMs for the first to find it (unless I find it first).

Get and build the CLAM-compatible version of vanitygen from here: https://github.com/dooglus/vanitygen

Then run this command:

Code:

oclvanitygen -CP 0257DEAE526EEF77D275447D70F233DCF0DBF50AF0C239AD0C46CE1A6D48849B1F xJDCLAMZ

C for 'compressed', 'P' for 'public key'.

The public key means only the person with the corresponding private key (ie. me) will be able to know the actual private key you find.

Post the key it finds here, and I'll pay 100 CLAMs to the earliest dated non-edited such post.

Whats the hex string after the -CP?

That's my public key.

It's a way of outsourcing vanity address generation safely.

Without it, as soon as you found the address I wanted, you would know its private key. Then when I funded the address you could take the coins.

The vanitygen program takes that public key does some public key magic. It finds a private key which corresponds to the address I'm looking for only after adding on the public key I gave you. So you give me the private key it spits out, I add on the private key corresponding to the public key in that big hex string, and I get the real private key.

tldr: to get the real private key you need both the private key found by vanitygen and the private key that corresponds to that hex string.

Edit: I just found this post which explains it properly.

Could you please estimate CLAMs inflation?

CLAM inflation is roughly 1440 coins a day.

That's roughly 4% a month.

I don't really think the stake rake is problematic. It's structured in a way that the inflation will decrease in the future as the monetary base increases. I also like that the stake rate in itself makes digging for clams in the future worth less than digging for clams today.

That's pretty close, but it's missing the Z.

Then run this command:

Yeah somehow the Z got cut from the copy/paste, woops!
