 c. some kind of decay in value of undug CLAMs over time

This already exists. If you dig and stake, your CLAMs increase by about 4% per month currently. In about a year they are increased by 50%. By not digging you lose 1/3 of that value in a year. That seems quite sufficient to me. This rate will decrease over time, but then the supply effect of even large digs will also decrease as the total supply increases.

EDIT: previously stated that half of value was lost per year by not digging but correct number is 1/3 (150 if digging 100 and staking for a year vs 100 if waiting a year to dig).

CLAM have today good price up. i hope reach up to 300K soon and 500K next.

[andulolika]

a: Leaving everything as it is.

Why is digging a problem ? Isnt that what CLAM was all about ?

Just different perspectives in the community this is good.

[galbros]

But, how about this for an idea? And it's just a thought I had, not a plan I intend to put into action. Comments appreciated:

Anyway, it's just a thought. Let me know what you think...

Please don't do this Dooglus.  It will forever make clam nothing more than a token for JD.  While some argue that it is already that, at least it has the possibility to become more.

The developers designed clam and should stick with that framework unless there is a real threat or exploit.  Everyone knew going in that something like this was a danger.  Maybe if you thought it was one of the developers themselves that was doing this, e.g. one of them sent 10 doge to a million addresses, then it may make sense to do something like this to protect the community, but even then it would cause the coin to lose one of the main attractions it had to you using it at JD - New users probably already have some.

I do really appreciate you thinking about this though and your involvement in the clam community.  Just-Dice is great.

Some of the other options may make sense, but it's not like this was not a recognized possibility going forward.  I think Gambling Bad may be on to something with the buy wall idea.

EDIT:  Also a question.  I thought the dig whale had dug all of his clams when he imported his gazillion addresses into his client.  So reducing the amount of clams per dig wont matter in this case, only in future cases?

CLAM is a very resilient altcoin will definitely bounce back. If it is down, there is no other way to go but up!

clam still going down, im thinking to sell all my coin i need money  

[grunt]

As a Clam holder I would appreciate ending the digging process. Especially since it has been a while. People who are interested in Alt-coins probably have heard of clams by now. The end of digging could bring more interest and money into the coin.

Is it possible to prevent further digging though? Isn't digging just using a previously unused private key to move coins. So to prevent that we would have to remove the ability to send coins which were initially distributed but have yet to be moved?

[fitinplace]

Hello ClamCoin members, i had questions about spec.


1.  Confirms received?
2.  Confirms rewards?
3.  Minimum age till mature?
4.  Block target interval?
5   Max coin cap?

Yes, and as a bitcoin holder I would like it if they stopped block rewards. We can stop staking for clams too.

The whole point of clams is that they were fairly distributed, just because some have taken longer than others to dig theirs, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to.

I agree that stopping the digs altogether is not the best solution.

What about a halving of the Dig rewards in May 2016 (2 years from the launch date) as indicated in the previous page?

We can expand this further that every subsequent halving would be twice the number of years as the previous one.

The dig rewards would look like this:


May 2014 - 4.6
May 2016 - 2.3
May 2020 - 1.15
May 2028 - 0.575
May 2044 - 0.2875
May 2076 - 0.14375
May 2140 - 0.071875

I personally would be unhappy with that return proposed for 2076.  Messes with my plans.

I really don't think there's any need to change the dig rewards. There's already a natural inflation that's built into the system that penalizes people who dig later on. If you dig earlier, you're going to be able to get more stake rewards. And that really adds up.

  a. leave everything as it is
  b. disallow all digging
  c. some kind of decay in value of undug CLAMs over time
  d. CC's very complicated and involved change
  e. CC's quick and simple change

They'd need to be specified in detail...

IMO a), b), e) can be voted right now,
c) , d) also can be voted, but if choosen - specification and detalisation could be done later via additional voting.
So my suggestion is to make voting as soon as possible. Can't see my CLAM holdings becomes nothing. So why we need waste time  preparing complicated solution if it even might not be choosen by community?

 c. some kind of decay in value of undug CLAMs over time

This already exists. If you dig and stake, your CLAMs increase by about 4% per month currently.

Assuming you have a sufficient number to actually stake, due to the lottery-style staking.
