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

[MrPiggles]

just found out i have 100s of clams, but the wallet takes forever, been on 20 weeks left for hours

Congratulations! 20 weeks took me about a day to sync! If you're using the windows client ... I had to restart the client several times to complete the sync.

Is the 100s of clams reward for 20weeks holding clams?

In order to claim clams you have to own the private key to a BTC, LTC or DOGE address that held a balance on May 12th 2014.

That is more than 20 weeks in the past...

You get 4.60545574 CLAM per address so MrPiggles must have over a couple dozen or so addresses from that time that contained BTC, LTC or DOGE in order to claim "hundreds" of CLAM.

Correct, i had 500 or so btc back then, I've spent all day trying to crack several of my old multibit wallets that had balances in.

I've used hashcat, btcrecover, to no avail, tried 100s of millions of psaswords. I think they may be corrupted

This is one with 20+ addresses qualifying for clams that I can't get into

That's tough. Hope you can figure out your password eventually. All the best!

Wow guys. This so cool to see how is going the job on my favorite Clams! I was on the github and have seen a lot of new updates of the Clam client.
This soo interesting to see!

I want to set up a second clam client on a different machine but syncing takes forever. I'd like to create a bootstrap file from the first client and import into the second one but I need some assistence.
After fixing the error messages about folder does not exist (datadir was set) and rpcpassword (told to me by clamd when clam-qt is not running) I'm left with the message "cannot connect to server".
Can someone tell me what the correct setup and command is for a bootstrap dump on the windows clam(-qt) client?

Stop your currently-running client. Archive the entire CLAMS datadir. Restart the client. Copy the archived complete datadir to the 2nd m/c, unarchive so that the datadir is where you want it, delete wallet.dat (2nd client will automatically create a new empty wallet.dat) then start your 2nd client. It should sync up straight away.

That's odd, that was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. Tried it again now and it works like a charm.

Thanks, Graham. It probably just needed a magic kickstart from a legendary...

Thanks.
I also got a picture of a golden weed leaf to go with that. There is a "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow, afterall.

I've got two clam clients running now, both with a few hundred clam in them. One for me and one for my son.
Would it be better to stake them seperately or to put the coins together and share the spoils? Would it make any difference in the long run?

Glad it works. I occasionally forget to stop the client which is a sure fire recipe for getting an incoherent datadir and a terminally confused 2nd client.

Hello Guys. I was thinking about Clams and I find an interesting idea.
Since Clams have an anonymous developers maybe it will be good to do an anonymous transactions.
In another words put in Clams protocol Zcash?
How do You think?
Is it possible?

Specially if you stake solo variance feels way heavier while on small amounts.

Clam had in it's roadmap ClamAnon but it never went thru.

Why do You think so? Even in the long future and even with new developers?
Maybe they will find something new update in Clam... or some rebredding of this coin. It will have a good consequences I think...

Hmm? I'm a clam follower, all I mean't was that the idea never really got much attention.

Interesting article.  It looks like Zcash is not all it is cracked up to be...
