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

[blackcheese]

Does anyone have the last 3 weeks for the blockchain?

I completely reinstalled CLAM to try to get my transaction to go through but the last posted blockchain was only until September 9th. It's not taking about 5+ hours per day to catch up even though I have 16 connections. I did all of LTC blockchain in 4 hours. This one is taking literal days.

Clamcoin is one of the every few coins with graphs like this one. MORE buyers than sellers and yet they are selling it at 0.0020!! why?

Why are people selling so cheaply when it is very obvious that there is a huge demand and very few sellers.

Why not hit 0.0035 and higher, i dont get it.

A lot of the CLAMMunity has to sell coins to survive in real life.

I know a number of people that sell the coins they stake and save the "CLAM mining rig" as their investment.

I see Clamcoins like little digital mining rigs that can be broken down into very very very small units.

CLAM investors are either: Very rich and don't mind OR People hustling hard to finally have a "stable" income in their life.  Not much in between !

Clamcoin one of the best altcoin!

You are right tonbit1239, many of us feel that way.

I do not fully agree with this analisys. I don't need CLAM (or any altcoin) to survive and I am certaninly not rich. I have a small amount, which I love, and would like to get more. I hope to achieve this by selling Clam high and buying more back low. To do this the price needs to fluctuate and shouldn't get too high.
If there are many investors like myself the price will not go up quickly because we try to sell at every peak and hope the price will drop again. This may be one of the reasons the price is so stable.

Personally I don't care much if Clam is worth $10 or $100 at this time, I just want as much clam as I can get my (virtual) hands on. When I have reached my goal, the price may soar but until then I'd rather it stays low.

I think the main reason for less CLAM on the sell side of the order book is that unlike most coins there are strong incentives to keep your CLAMs in the JD bankroll or stake them yourself.

is there any recent bootstraps?

 So, few years after the launch I can tell CLAM's distribution model was healthy. The main problem is to involve fresh blood into the ecosystem...

Finally, here are the top 10 nodes according to my seeder:

addnode=31.204.128.80:31174
addnode=74.207.230.61:31174
addnode=220.239.41.71:31174
addnode=98.18.252.73:31174
addnode=213.239.208.169:31174
addnode=67.205.153.62:31174
addnode=178.63.60.7:9025
addnode=72.48.98.106:31174
addnode=139.162.195.69:18333
addnode=170.130.28.186:31174

Finally got some decently connected peers (9 total).  I added these nodes to two files i created: clam.conf and clamd.conf.  Anyway I can improve my number of connections, also am i doing it right?  Thanks!

I've been out of the loop for quite awhile,
I want to re-sync my wallet but I heard clams has over 1GB+ blockchain data  
so I'm searching for any lightweight or web based wallet...
If I'm not mistaken, I saw clams icon on coinomi list of supported altcoins
anyone using coinomi wallet here? what's your opinion about it, thanks.

I just updated the bootstrap.dat file linked in this post.

Price is +10%

A litle pump ?

From 0.00210 to 0.00250 in one day is more than a little pump. Back to 0.00230 now. Since I am done selling and want to buy back the price may fall back down again. The buyers chart on Poloniex makes a fall below 0.00220 quite unlikely though. We'll see what happens. So far the pumpers are doing an excellent job.

dooglus,

I used to own and stake clams and was looking to get back in.
Are the average staking rates on presstab's website accurate or can you share with me what the current rates are roughly please?

Same here and curious about the same question

I don't know how to read the presstab site but the current weight accoring to my Clam client is around 900,000. That means you would need 625 CLAM (=900,000 / 1440) to succesfully stake once a day (on avarage).

I don't see any number on Presstab that nears 900,000 but that's maybe because they don't take into account the number of Clams that are actually being staked. Lots of Clam is just laying on a (virtual) shelf and doing nothing. maybe someone can explain this better?

Heard about Clams for the first time a couple of days ago. Decided to try to claim my Clams from old BTC wallets.
Not trusting the organisation I decided to use my linux computer instead of my Mac.

After a couple of hours I still was 2 years and 25 years behind according to the clam-qt client software.
Stopped it and decided to continue today using the bootstrap.dat file. After an hour and a half, I had to reboot once because clam-qt crashed my computer - a quad core with 8 GB of RAM, I am still 2 years and 6 weeks behind importing blocks. The only way to  see progress is to start and stop clam-qt because the progress bar doesn't move anymore.

Now, if I am importing the transaction from the bootstrap.dat file why is there so much network traffic? According to clam-qt there is 1 kB in and 35 kB out in the past half hour. According to my system monitor clam-qt is sending out between 60 and 320 kB/sec! What is going on?  Even if the bootstrap.dat file isn't working I should be downloading data not sending it out. During the time that I had clam-qt running the program send out hundreds of MB. Is clam-qt mining coins on my computer and sending them to the organization behind Clams?

UPDATE: Removed the bootstrap.dat and restarted clam-qt. Lot more incoming and outgoing network traffic, but very irregular. In the past 15 minutes clam-qt froze 3 times and I was not able to type anything into a texteditor or using my mouse. Still sending a lot more data out than pulling in.

If you want to get up to date you really need to use the bootstrap files.  I tried it without them, gave up after a few days, used the bootstrap files, got caught up eventually.

I don't know anything about coinomi, but you can use Just-Dice.com as a "web wallet". There are no fees if you use it as a wallet other than a flat 0.001 CLAM fee per withdrawal.

Most people put their balance into the Just-Dice bankroll, and then you earn staking rewards, and also are exposed to profits (and losses) made from people playing dice on the site. But that's entirely optional.
