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

[B3dr0ck]

I finally sync'd, and now I uploaded some of my old wallets

I imported 1, then tried a second.  It did nothing.  I closed and restarted Clam Client, and then imported a 3 wallet.

When I try to import that 2nd wallet (LTC) it says
"wallet import failed"

what could that mean?

[ScubaFuz]

It's awfully quiet here even though Clam is doing really well.
If you compare the sell vs buy orders at poloniex you might conclude the price will go up sooner than down. It might even be prudent to buy at the current price.

I am not a professional trader and this is not investment advice but just my opinion.

Im still not sure about all this staking thing.
Does not look like match to profit, and the process is very long and strange.
And you have to have a lot of coins to get some awards. Which does not make sense. Crypto ecosystem is very much dynamic now. Why would i want to lock down my assets into single wallet and sit on it?
And it takes 2 weeks to sync this whole deal.
Better to spread out assets and make some money of it.

Hello,

I have an issue here I am hoping some one can help me with. Earlier after a PC restart the balance was off in my Clam client, so I repaired the wallet in the console. The balance issue was fixed, but now the client perpetually says it is out of sync, yet there is no progress bar. The icon on the bottom left is blue indicating that I am staking after unlock, but I am not mining any Clams, and the previously mined Clams are not maturing and the block count is behind. I have connections. I have tried rescanning, but nothing changed. Does anyone have any solutions for this?

I wonder whether your client perhaps successfully staked before it was fully synced, causing a local fork? You might try loading a fresh blockchain from dooglus' snapshot.

Need to learn more in this coin, I think is very interesting, although the topic is simple and not as good as other projects.

Hi,

I've installed the client recently (v1.4.17) and synching is extremely slow, although I can see 16 connections to the network. At this rate, synch will take several months.
Is there a way to speed up things a bit?

Stake and dig (one address at a time) at Just-dice.com

Dig (all addresses with one click dropping the .dat) at https://freebitcoins.com/clamchecker/dig_wallet/ (you get 3.5 CLAMS worth of BTC @ market price)

Or you could read thread for Doogs bootstrap! (but the syncing will be slow still and the altcoin markets can move drastically)

Anyone having any issues with getting transactions through? I sent one earlier today took about ~10-15 mins for first transaction. Now I've been sitting at 40 minutes still not one confirmation and the transaction ID doesn't show up in the block explorer?

You can do an easy test at freebitcoins.com and get a small payment from the faucet. If that shows up in your wallet, the network is working fine.

Thanks I'll try. Original transaction still hasn't got a single confirmation..

Where are you sending from?  If it's not in the block explorer, there is a good chance it hasn't been broadcast to the network.  In which case something is going on at the sender.

I sent it from the qt like I did earlier today. But just this one isn't confirming, I've tried restarting it and nothing is working. Worried about losing the coins now.

   Is your wallet sync'ed, and is it at the same block height as the block explorer?  Maybe your on your own fork.  I wouldn't worry about losing the coins, if they're not on the main block chain then there still yours. 
I'm not sure if a re-index or rescan would help.  Kind of sounds like you'll need to do something like that, but it's over my head now.  You can also check the debug file, and see if you in some kind of a loop.  You may just need to restart the wallet, if you haven't tried that yet.

chilly2k is basically spot on with his advice. 
Ensure you have connections to some peers, so that the transaction has a means to get out to the network. 
If the CLAM shows as still attributed to your pubkey/address, then there should be nothing to be concerned about. 
Worst case, you have to rescan and/or resync and send again (assuming the above).

So basically it is possible to create a private fork and lose sync with the network by staking while you are still syncing. Can you go a (few) block(s) back and resync or do you have to reload the entire blockchain?
Shouldn't there be a safety buildin that if the block you created isn't accepted by the network that it is discarded and you keep syncing with blocks that have been accepted? That way you cannot create your own fork.

Simply prevent your mature blocks from staking while the wallet syncs.

Go to console and type

reservebalance true and a number bigger than the number of CLAM you have

i.e.
reservebalance true 99999


Console response

{
"reserve" : true,
"amount" : 99999.00000000
}


Now the wallet will not stake mature blocks until

reservebalance false

is entered, or the wallet is restarted.
