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

[margoslend]

the coin is just amazing, but the installation status casts a shadow over the developers who created it. Why such complexity, of the new gcd not working. It turns out that while you're here to share intelligent thoughts of many will frighten a tired wallet.

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

CLAM isn't 'privately owned'; thus, it can't be privately purchased.  
  
This should be particularly clear with CLAM, given the CLAMspeech/CLAMour feature which literally shifts development decisions to the community.  
I think anyone who has been following the core/bitmain/segwit2x kerfuffle might appreciate that fact.  
Economic majority == miners in CLAM.  
Anyone attempting to change CLAM would bear the burden of proof of the support of both parties.  
  
Anyone looking for specific support would probably be best served by visiting #clams on freenode irc, or Just-Dice.com.  
Shapeshift has been contacted, by multiple 'devs', but has neglected to seek assistance with whatever problem they are having with the client.  
  
The community should consider answers from dooglus, xploited, creativecuriosity, tryphe, kefkius, v1rtu0so, smooth, or even BayAreaCoins as authoritative.  
All have been involved with CLAM for ages and have either coding experience or deep knowledge with the network and/or client.

so i just got to know about this now and would love to import my bitcoin wallet but its bitcoinj which is for android and wont allow me create unpassworded private key

He was in the process of merging a more recent release of the Bitcoin client into the CLAM repository, but it's a big job and I don't know whether it's in a state that is safe to release or not. You can find it in his github repository. It is quite possible that it is working fine, but I think it needs more testing before being released.

I searched and failed to find this. Would appreciate a pointer if you have one.

Cheers

Is https://clamaddress.org/ still a valid site to use for a paper wallet for clam?

[Magostop]

I see that Clams is still in need of a central community hub and a charity foundation. I've been with this coin only for a few months but I have put a lot of faith into the coin and I am willing to do whatever I can do better the community and well-being of this coin.

I want to know the public's thoughts and opinions on the proposal of the creation of a central hub or community forum specifically for CLAMS and the development of a chairty orginization with the ability to donate using clams.

What is the installation status?

What is the new gcd?

What on earth are you talking about?

I was referring to the 'reindex' branch of https://github.com/l0rdicon/clams, but I see he has merged it to the main CLAM repository now. I've made a few small commits on top of it, here:

https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/commits/2.0.0

Please test it, and let me know how it goes trying to sync the chain using it.

It's a site I put up a couple of years ago. It's basically a copy of bitaddress.org modified to work for CLAMs.

I've not updated it at all recently, so it is possible that it is missing bug fixes that have been applied to bitaddress.org since I made the copy.

Seamless. From bootstrap.dat. Started at 11:42, just checked back at 14:36 to find it fully synced. Nice work dooglus.

I have clams to claim from an electrum wallet and am having some issues getting them off. I tried importing the private keys manually but it didn't work. I tried uploading them to multibit classic to make a .key file but that gives me an error when I try to upload it



13:55:20

CDB : Error -30974, can't open database (code -1)



any ideas?

[TheButterZone]

Did you unlock wallet/not set a passphrase yet? importprivkey 5blahblahblah

[Bittoclick]

I've got 79 private keys to import is the issue, so 1 by one seems like it might take forever. If it even worked as it won't let me.

I have not set a passphrase yet, is that the issue?

[TheButterZone]

Whenever the wallet is locked by passphrase, it can't import keys. IDK why you can't even import a single one that held a balance on the snapshot day.

[Bittoclick]

The wallet shouldn't be locked then. When I am trying to import now, it just gives me a blank response, does that mean it worked?


14:24:52

importwalletdump multibit.key


14:24:53


[TheButterZone]

If there were any Clams to be gained from a private key, there would be a blank response, and they would show up almost right away in your wallet, 1 transaction per balance-held-at-snapshot key.

[Bittoclick]

Thanks for the help. Ended up with about 36 clams.

[vivland]

For the first time got the kind of wallet, synchronise a week, helped only file botstar, but there is one positive point, I again became the owner of my coins. I'm happy, I want to thank the entire community for advice.

Yes.

It should be just a few pages back I believe... someone recently posted a list.
