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

[dooglus]

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
   ...: 
 1 100.00000000
 2  50.00000000

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 hope I did this right. Used ./vanitygen with the same args.

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:

12:33:47 INFO: sent 100 CLAM to (324722) <beLiefs> [[xJDCLAMZ]]

The next prize is 50 CLAMs...

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

I think doog's number was a bit low before, but now it seems right in line with the reduced network weight.
