Didn't expect such a slow sync, wallet syncs a day, and there is still more than two years, but will have to be persistent, when you insert old wallet.data looked through past transactions. So I hope to restore the old balance. But I will not refuse the help if anyone advise how to expedite the synchronization process. Understand that you should have patience, as the branch does not often look down, perhaps the issue will resolve on their own.

I gave up and used this eventually.

The wallet have to be synced.
Then your coins will arrive.

I used the bootstrap posted here in batches of 10000 blocks. I just needed  3 of them (up to bootstrap161.dat) and the wallet was on ALL day since that and nothing. Still stuck and unable to sync.

Every time it gets stuck, restart it.  Eventually it will sync fully then you will be good to go.   It took me 3 days to sync, with the bootstrap,  i just checked it every once in a while and if it had not made progress, i restarted it.

I had it on for 20h and not a single block was added. OK thanks. I'll try that.

Last time (not sure when) I added a few nodes and it works even better.

I have no idea how to do that

[1xhopeless]

Stuck trying to sync the client.

Already downloaded and imported the bootstrap file and added the node list provided by Miner2525 above. This got me close but I am still 4 weeks behind with no connections.

Also added nodes at http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/CLAM/nodes.php

Any suggestions or nodes that are always up?

"added the node list " is there somewhere with an ELI2 on how to do that? thanks

Edit: I think i have i worked it out.

What do we all think was the BTC/CLAM all-time high, and on which exchange?

Don't panic. Your transaction has been incorporated into the blockchain, and right now, the recipient will have access to cleared funds.

You can send a transaction without needing to be fully synced, so although your client doesn't yet see the transaction in the blockchain, due to your lagging sync, the network has accepted the transaction and it is showing to anyone who is synced.

You can see it on the block explorer: http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/CLAM/block.php?blockhash=4e6152ae975b78cf7fb7cc338c75132a83cc71d9bbb61c97d59478e9ed3c726f

As for the sync issue, this has been a problem for some time, and no one is quite sure why it happens. I've personally observed peers sending the same blocks multiple times (not sure why), and also lots of apparent orphan pollution (or, perhaps, blocks sent out of order.) All I can suggest is to periodically exit and restart the client.

Thanks for the infos. What i want to know is why did it take 4 days. I have sent coins (never clams) many time from wallets that are not fully synced and the transactions always gone through immediately. But with clams it took 4 days. What was the reason?


My wallet is now 9days behind mainly thanks to adding IP nodes.

You can see on the block explorer that the transaction wasn't incorporated until 27th Aug. Perhaps it wasn't broadcast to the network properly (or rather, at all.) Is it possible you shut down your client prematurely? My guess is that you restarted your client on 27th Aug, your transaction was rebroadcast (successfully) at that time, and it was subsequently incorporated into a block.

This coin need rebranding and developers. How much will cost to buy private ownership from developer (aka SuperClam)?

My wallet was on almost 24h a day since the 23/08 as per my previous posts here just to get it fully synced.


I think there is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed and that could be the reason shapeshift dropped the coin weeks ago by the looks of it.

It definitely needs development at least to fix bugs like the syncing problem and could use marketing too. There is a story to tell here that is interesting and perhaps compelling but no one is telling it.

My take (no inside info) is that the original dev has either dumped and doesn't care or has gotten rich enough from this coin and/or other crypto gains and doesn't care. But either way, it's a zombie type coin that needs some love.

Poloniex shows a high of 0.0144 btc on August 15, 2015. 

Coinmarketcap shows a high of .01364320 btc on August 12, 2015.  Not sure which exchange they were using for that price point though.

The all time high for CLAM was on Bittrex.

It traded 1 for 1 with Bitcoin.
