According to the symbol under my username I've been awarded the rank of Clams fanboy... which allows me to come here and post random stuff together with buying some on an exchange

Welcome  
 
Not sure how, but looks like this account has a Dash symbol?

Is there a ref doc on the icons?

I was obliged to check the Meta thread - 1st April, sigh.

Cheers

Graham

Yes that was April's fool and now it's over. I mean personally it reminded me of this project which I was not following anymore: there are some many coins out there but I've always liked Clams. I should maybe start a wallet

I should 'fess up and admit to being taken in for a short while but I didn't go down without a fight (retrieved from drafts):

I find I no longer care. I see it as a timely reminder from Theymos to be aware that inaccurate metadata manifests as misrepresentation and that, in turn, suggests dissembling.

In keeping with the basic principles of cypherfunk-derived cryptocurrency, it can only be a pointed suggestion to create a fresh bitcointalk subscriber address for each posting.

I can't think of any other sane reason for abusing user profiles in such a manner.

 FIXED - - My Clam Client (64bit) doesn't show that it is importing the bootstrap.dat.

Is there anything I can do or should I just wait?

I put the bootstrap.dat into the same folder as the wallet.dat file.

Do they need to be separated from the client folder, because I have all 3 files in
the same folder.

Thanks for any assistance with this.

EDIT - Download it, put it into the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat, then restart the client. On Windows, this folder is "%appdata%\Clam".

This is what worked for me.

OK guys, I'm running low on xJDCLAMZ vanity addresses again.

It's time to reopen the contest.

Rules exactly the same as before:

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.

100 CLAMs for the first, 50 for the 2nd, 25 for the 3rd, and so on forever, with the reward halving each time. Multiple payouts per user are allowed.

Edit: Please note that the address must be *compressed* - use the 'C' flag to vanitygen. Two qualifying keys already found. Next prize: 25 CLAMs.

thanks doog, just saved me 3 hours of doing math

[dooglus]

thanks doog, just saved me 3 hours of doing math

I used a little Python:

Code:

$ python -c '
x = int(100e8); y = 1
while x:
  print "%2d %12.8f" % (y, x/1e8)
  x /= 2; y += 1'

[teslacoilr90]

Python is supposed to be easy to read

Code:

In [1]: payout = 100; counter = 1

In [2]: while payout > 0.00000001:
   ...:    print "%2d %12.8f" % (counter, payout)
   ...:    payout /= 2.0; counter += 1
   ...:

Anyone got a windows binary of doogs vanitygen?

[dooglus]

Python is supposed to be easy to read

Code:

15   0.00610352

Yes, but it's also meant to give the correct results.

I wanted it to give the same results as the Bitcoin block rewards. My code does, and yours doesn't. The 15th reward should be 0.00610351.

That's why I used integer arithmetic, not floating point.

Be careful running binaries from strangers. I've never built it on Windows (and find the concept of using Windows for anything related to crypto to be pretty disturbing).

I have not gotten any of that.

I'm thinking about getting back into clams and clam staking again. I had to pull out a couple of years ago needing the funds.
Roughly what it the current annual stake rate please anyone?

Thank you~!

Much less than it was a couple years ago - of course. 
 
That said, network weight has went down a bit recently, I believe - likely due to more active markets on Poloniex. 
Network weight is currently around 1.22 million, but it is only an estimate and can vary quite a bit. 
You would have to take your balance and calculate what percentage of the blocks you might expect to get and then calculate your percentage return.

I ran a test for the last few months to answer exactly that question. I put 10k CLAMs into a wallet and left it to stake.

It staked 553 times in 75.68 days. That means you need 1368.55 CLAMs to stake once per day on average.

I calculate that to be 26.67% annual return:

>>> 553 / 75.68 * 365 / 10000 * 100
26.67

Thanks. I tipped you on Just-Dice:

Close, but no cigar. That's not a compressed key. You need to specify the C flag to vanitygen.
