Some lightweight purses for clam like electrum?

 As far I know there is no lightweight wallet for Clam, in the github I saw that someone was asking for a Electrum server for clam and they did some testing trying to create one but it seems like is not in the way to be implemented.

How many coins will I receive from 10,000 coins  POS

Depend on multiple factors, someone can come and tell you x amount, but to calculate it properly you need to know if you are solo or pool staking, how many clams are staking at the same time as yours, how properly you is your ClamClient configured to stake efficiently if you're solo staking also if you let your ClamClient stake all the time 24/7 or partially.

Also, will I be able to import my "root key" as generated by Armory into the Clam wallet to redeem clams?

I don't use Armory but since the "root key" seems to be very specific for the Armory Wallet client and you will need to decrypt the wallet so the ClamClient can import it (not sure of that part), if you don't have lots of address you can try to export your private keys, i think that will give you a format that will be more ease for the ClamClient to import and redeem your Clams.

Here you can check 2 links if you want read more about you can do that.
how to obtain the private key of an armory wallet
a post here in bitcointalk about how can obtain your private keys

How about this to see if it's worth spending any further time on CLAMs: ....

I was being a little facetious here, but after further thought, I believe you could actually dig your CLAMs. Create a raw transaction (on your air gapped, non internet computer) which sends your 'dug' CLAMs to a new address, then you transmit the transaction (which contains only public info that's going to go into the blockchain) on an internet connected machine.

 I don't know if you are talking to me or to the OP, but we discussed previously about the "airgapped" offline system and with dooglus we confirmed that was viable to do it that way, similar to your explanation , in the case of the OP this only have few workarounds if you don't want to use the ClamClient or anyone else service, check the code by yourself, trust code provided or forget about claiming your Clams. anyways thanks for your thoughts.

How many coins will I receive from 10,000 coins  POS

I hope that this calculation is correct - this is how I calculate it for myself

$ ./clamd getstakinginfo
{
  ...
    "netstakeweight" : 656459.47131637,
}

Basicly the netstakeweight is the amout of the currently stacking coins

Formula YourCoins/netstakeweight*CoinsStakedPerDay = 10000/656459.47131637*24*60 ~= 21.93 clams per day

But it depend on many factors - Luck / how much is your coins split / ...

Did you tried using dooglus' bootstrap?

Problems Getting Sync'd with the Network?

The following file may be placed in the data direcrory.  Then, simply restart the client:

dooglus' Bootstrap:
Bootstrap Post

 I heard from other people that used this method, it will speed up the process, but still it will take some time to sync. dunno how updated the bootstrap.dat is because I asked someone about the blockchain size file and he seems to be stuck in the same point as you.

Looks good, but note that the 'netstakeweight' goes up and down a lot as the difficulty adjusts. You should sample it every hour for a day to see what's a good average level.

I just updated it.

Now: It goes up to block 1539700 which was staked on Sun Jun  4 01:40:32 UTC 2017.

I get an error when trying to import the bootstrap  

Also, I now have my old private keys. How do I convert them in way as to be able to import into the clam wallet? They are not in .dat just straight up text.

Are there any predictions for CLAM? I found a site saying short term 0.0032

What do you guys think?
If I check the 1 month graph, this sounds reasonable for me

 I'm not sure if when you mention "import" the bootstrap, you are referring to try to import it like a wallet, if that is the case look at the link that was given previously because it explain how you should do to get the bootstrap running, as you may see dooglus has said that is up today which is very good.

 For the second question, you can import your private keys one by one or in a group using several Bitcoin, Litecoin and Doge clients, the client that you use must allow you to "import" your private keys, some clients that use hierarchical deterministic wallet doesn't allow you to import private keys, I know that clients like Electrum allow you to import several Private Keys at once other like the clients QT version of the above mentioned crypto currencies allow you to do that using the console or command line interface with the command "importprivkey" (or something very similar in name), I don't remember if the command line allow you to import multiple at once but you can check the help of the command and see if there is a way, at least you can import it one by one. Using this method you can convert your Private Keys into a Wallet.dat file because it will be contained in the file to where you are doing the importing, it becomes part of it in most clients. Then you can use that file to get it imported in the ClamClient.

What is the latest working official version?

I have 1.4.17 and 1.4.7

What are you doing, and what happens? I've never heard of anyone having problems with the bootstrap file before, other than putting it in the wrong place and then you don't get an error, it just doesn't do anything.

hello, bit rusty here,   ive downloaded clam client and bootstrap. all was fine.   then ive replaced wallet with my old wallet.dat .    
now wallet wont sync.    havent done this in a while , have i missed something.

edit:   removed bootstrap wallet synced , coins accounted for.

What is the latest working official version?

I have 1.4.17 and 1.4.7

 When you refer to working official, maybe you're referring to the a "stable" version because the code provide by the developer's github is considered official, also i guess that older versions still are able to sync. Between the 2 versions that you have pointed out that you have the version 1.4.17 is the latest stable version at the time that I wrote this, don't let the .7 fool you, that version is behind 10 versions from the lastest version. You can see in the quote below, there is a v1.4.18 but is not released as a Stable version yet, you need to build it if you need it and test it. For last in the link that says Release Repository you can check the releases chronology.

CLAMs v1.4.17 STABLE
Download and Release Notes
Please build v1.4.18 if you intend to use the "creditstakestoaccount" feature.

Release Repository

[GKar]

Thanks. Stable is the better description for what I meant. 
Using the latest version and bootstrap was finally able to get synced.
It would not sync w/o bootstrap.

Here is my idea on clams, it does have upside potential and the first target is 0.006 area

I think we are going to see another little dip over the next few month and see a few people take profits + a few eat losses.

I think we will curve like that later this year and into 2018 with good growth in 2018.

That is a pretty optimistic looking curve there. I'm not sure I see that much growth happening in such a short time.

Great chart as always... was a pretty decent size dig.
