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

[Wilhelmer]

is there like an official Slack channel or somewhere one can get the latest update for CLAM? Can't seem to locate any roadmap or status of this coin.

Attention CLAM buyers:
They are far less shady and there isn't a limit for withdraws.
...
Poloniex requires weird ID stuff now days or you hit limits.

What do you mean by "shady"?  I use poloniex and it seems to be ok for Level 1 accounts since they do not ask for any private information other than an email address.  But yes I would not use them for their higher level accounts because I think they do require a lot of personal information.

[Johnny00]

I just tried doing address verification to increase my daily limit. Not sure what I need to do as $2k limit is low

This one staked 5 times in 8 days, despite only being worth 26 to 30 CLAMs for most of that time:

That one recently staked again, for 6 stakes in 17 days: (edit: 7 stakes in 19 days!)

84d121      -> 100 CLAM   1044120 (2016-06-21 22:14:24)
cbdfb7  100 ->  26 CLAM   1045413 (2016-06-22 18:53:20)
a799ea   26 ->  27 CLAM   1050053 (2016-06-26 00:42:40)
c6709f   27 ->  28 CLAM   1050991 (2016-06-26 16:32:00)
00d648   28 ->  29 CLAM   1052089 (2016-06-27 11:02:40)
e58636   29 ->  30 CLAM   1054628 (2016-06-29 05:42:24)
4170b5   30 ->  31 CLAM   1067683 (2016-07-08 09:20:16)
60ca71   31 ->  32 CLAM   1070634 (2016-07-10 10:57:52)

That record-breaking output has only staked once more since then:

d9ffa7   32 ->  33 CLAM   1104863 (2016-08-03 10:19:28)

There's a new fastest-staking output. It staked 11 times in a little under 2 months:

399b58      -> 100 CLAM   1044100 (2016-06-21 21:28:16)
4edcf0  100 ->  25 CLAM   1046469 (2016-06-23 12:33:04)
19d344   25 ->  26 CLAM   1050808 (2016-06-26 13:26:56)
527625   26 ->  27 CLAM   1064215 (2016-07-05 22:47:44)
83def3   27 ->  28 CLAM   1068657 (2016-07-09 01:34:40)
f5aca2   28 ->  29 CLAM   1072671 (2016-07-11 21:02:24)
e3488c   29 ->  30 CLAM   1076802 (2016-07-14 18:30:40)
5fd5de   30 ->  31 CLAM   1114998 (2016-08-10 12:46:40)
ee5133   31 ->  32 CLAM   1116705 (2016-08-11 17:22:56)
361b2e   32 ->  33 CLAM   1119924 (2016-08-13 23:36:32)
778498   33 ->  34 CLAM   1122609 (2016-08-15 20:44:16)
d932ae   34 ->  35 CLAM   1127454 (2016-08-19 06:14:56)

I'm still monitoring the JD staking wallet. It started out with 13k outputs of size 100 CLAMs each, and I set it to split to 25 CLAM outputs when it stakes. I counted the number of outputs of each size each morning, and plotted those counts on a log scale:

And here's an updated plot of the counts of outputs of each size over time:



Edit:

Sat Sep 3 2016, an output reached 36 CLAMs:

You might find people on the IRC channel (#clams on freenode) who can tell you about the roadmap. I'd be interested to know myself what plans are for the future.

I'm a newb. How do i earn Clam? Do I just download the client and keep it open and up to date and I can earn some or do I have to something else?

If you didn't have Bitcoin in your wallet in early 2014, when CLAM was distributed, you'll have to buy CLAM from an exchange or privately. Once you have a balance you can earn CLAM through staking, but you do need a balance first. You won't earn CLAM just by opening the client software and doing nothing.

[BillyBurns]

I have 1200 or so at Justdice, so I guess I should leave them there? Think I'm earning about 1 per day from staking does that sound about right?

Yup.

[SuperClam]

You might find people on the IRC channel (#clams on freenode) who can tell you about the roadmap.
I'd be interested to know myself what plans are for the future. 

 
 
In terms of incremental non-consensus improvements: 
 
As always, dooglus, xploited and/or I would be happy to review and merge improvements to the reference code base - there are certainly some areas that could use improvement. 
 
 
 
In terms of large-scale improvement: 
 
Individual changes/commits from Bitcoin or other networks that have updated/improved code are always welcome. 
 
 
 
In terms of new 'features' or core changes, perhaps we should have a conversation about CLAMour. 
 
It seems the majority of the staking public (on J.D., or otherwise) are either not interested in participating or choosing not to participate to block the changes that have currently been proposed (also a valid choice). 
 
If someone has a change/idea that requires consensus, and thinks it might be successful in the CLAMour system: I would be happy to help them submit it. 
 
It can, in fact, even be done via transaction to/from JD.

You shouldn't need a list of nodes because recent versions of the CLAM client should look them up automatically using DNS.

CLAM's not doing very good lately. I hope it's not the beginning of an endless downtrend for the price :/.

It is rare to have endless downtrend for an active coin.

Hello Clam Community!

I am an investor / trader of the Clam coins and would like to know if there is any news or updates in the works for Clam soon here?
