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

[BayAreaCoins]

Around 19k clams were dug in the past 24 hours. This New whale digger is making Bank..

I believe xBPwwtnxd2QTXM5pyRrPcQ7ccAGZGoeNZX is the address he grouped/sent the clams to, whether its his or a poloniex address to sell.

Can someone investigate the possible source of those address.. Are they Btc addresses?

Heard from a bird that they are the Dogecoin faucet owner crowd... they "should" learn about my websites affiliate program next and then market to their users for digs... but only after they complete digging.

That would be my recommendation anyways, so they make the most money off their clams and then they make .1 CLAM off each dig from their old and HUGE crowds.

The digging, that wallet balance and dump on polo escalated quickly

Prolly depends on your setup, but you can probably see the activity in the log file which would show you that it's doing some work and not just stuck.  Use tail -f.

I am preparing a book possibly an article dealing with cryptocurrency. 
The topics will include a brief summary and description of the cryptocurrency market place as well as a look at the art work associated with the various logos.
 
Many of the currencies do not have any notes or guidelines for use of their logos.  Hence I am contacting the currencies I am including requesting permission to use their logo images as part of the material.

  You don't use a different wallet, you need either the private key, or the wallet.dat file.  Then you use the clamcoin wallet to claim.

My website FreeBitcoins.com allows Core and now MultiBit.  https://freebitcoins.com/clamchecker/dig_wallet/

I'm not sure about what the CLAM client does.

 Exactly like chilly2k said you make the claim of your clams using the private keys or the wallet.dat (that is a file that where the BTC/LTC/Doge wallet usually store private keys) and import it in your Clamclient, in addition to that, usually some wallets are more easy to claim because of the way they stores the private keys.

 Maybe is this what you are asking for, as an example there are some wallets that use the Hierarchical Deterministic (HD for short) address generation method that compared with wallet that doesn't use this way and store the private keys in a normal wallet.dat file, those HD wallets (for example Multibit HD) are more complicated to claim because they use a 12 words mnemonic, that is a group of 12 words that is used to backup the seed that is used to create your wallet addresses (private keys) and if this hasn't change, I was checking recently and didn't, you can't retrieve you private keys or export it straight from the software. They are workarounds to extract the Private Keys but not as easy as click "show private key" or "export ".

So if your wallet has the ability to import and export private keys or store you private keys in a wallet.dat, those wallets are way more easy to be claim. In this category you can find BitcoinQT client, Electrum, Multibit Classic (dunno if still available) and many others.

Big deposits on diggers Poloniex address:

I would be surprised if that is a poloniex address. I think they move most of their coins to cold storage shortly after receiving them, and no coin have ever moved from that address.

My poloniex address looks similar & a similar balance.

I've never seen a cold storage sweep, like what you used to do.

Is it possible I can claim CLAM from coinbase address.

[dooglus]

Is it possible I can claim CLAM from coinbase address.

It is possible if and only if you have the private key for the address. I don't know if Coinbase will give you the private key or not. Alternatively Coinbase could claim the CLAM on your behalf and share it with you. You would have to talk to them about that.

I was thinking that since no coins had moved out of the address it likely wasn't an exchange address, but I see now one of the deposits has moved. I guess I was wrong.

I tried this site to check  https://freebitcoins.com/clamchecker/dig/ but it's saying my account not eligible.

Even I had my wallet address before then may 2014. I don't think Coinbase either give me private keys or will claim clam for me.

[serfsup]

Hi dooglus, how did you made outputs of 100 CLAMS and also how did you split them once they stake? Is there any instructions to put in conf file or so?

To make the outputs I did something like:

    $ clamd sendtoaddress <address-goes-here> '{"amount":100,"count":50}'

And to auto split on stake, I put this in my clam.conf:

    splitsize=25
    combinelimit=50

Where is the clam.conf located?  Thanks!

There is also other criteria that should be meet in order to get your BTC/LTC/Doge wallet to be funded, not just having or owning the address before May 2014, you need to meet some balance threshold, so your account is not considered a dust holding account, also you need to have that amount in the address at the moment that the snapshot of the different blockchains was taken. I don't use Coinbase but I doubt they give the private keys, even to their "vault" multisignature users, also doubt that "vault" function was around when the Clam distribution was made.

Where is the clam.conf located?  Thanks!  

 Usually on Windows you can find it at this location:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Clamcoin (on Windows 7)
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Clamcoin ( on Windows XP)

For linux you can try to look for this location:

~/.clamcoin/
