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

[JuniAiko]

In your original post, you were quite conclusive in that you already sold your clams for tron.  That doesn't sound like coming "here to assess your options" at all.

Second, you made a sweeping conclusion on the future of a coin by doing a simple check on Github and even giving advise to others.  I believe that was your first post here as well.  It certainly doesn't seem to be the right approach to looking for response to "address your concerns and point you to the right direction".

Lastly, I do think you are entitled to express your own honest personal opinion.  However, you can't expect others to also sit silent and not express their opinions on your statements either.  People react to things differently, but all would be reaction to what you have posted.

Of course I sounded quite conclusive, because I DO believe my decision with regards to Clams was a good one and I've expressed it as such to share, just like those who may still supports Clams for whatever reason may eagerly express theirs too. However, if anyone thinks my views are wrong, and that there are good evidence or arguments to show that I was wrong, I am certainly still not seeing it here.

And since when have I indicated that I am expected for others to sit silent and not express their opinions on my statements? I expected people who disagree to back up their disagreements and address my points directly, rather than telling me to sieve through hundreds of pages of past posts claiming that posts that proves my conclusion wrong is hidden somewhere there.

But anyways, I think I'm done here. I've got my answers given that I have not receive any response that satisfactorily demonstrate that my decisions were wrong (given the level of risk that I am willing to take). Good luck with your decisions at any rate. I am now pretty convinced that I had made the correct choice with my selling of Clams. But of course, who knows, it may still be pumped somewhere down the line; but my own personal assessment is that it is not a safe bet atm for me and people like me who prefers to invest on a coin that is currently still being actively being developed, improved, and marketed to compete with the other top coins.

But for those who do not mind the risk of investing on "abandoned coins" then perhaps even Neuro (NRO), via CoinExchange.io, would be an equally good bet too? -- another coin that I have completely sold off for the same reason.

We have a dev working on a new clam software release.. you just don't check on the good github !

https://github.com/l0rdicon/defaultcoin

Okie! Sorry missed your post Pat and thanks for the link!

I will continue to follow this project and decide if I wanna re-enter, to include Clams as part of my portfolio during my next "injection" of funds from my monthly salary.

The Clam webpage needs updating (at least the link to the new active GitHub) IMO.

Cheers!

Hi there.
When using Clam-qt i have the option to unlock the wallet "for staking only".
What would be the equivalent for clamd?
Is it: "walletpassphrase passphrase 9999999 true" ?

Furthermore, if i stake with the option "for staking only", will it execute the "splitsize=X" command in clam.conf? Or does that only work if the wallet is unlocked completely?

Thank you for answering and thank you to everyone continue working on this project!

In case you don't get a reply here, you might also want to check with the guys over at the #clams IRC room over at freenode. 

All the best!

Yes, the true at the end of the command unlocks it only for staking.

I have this in .bashrc

stake()
{
echo -n "Enter password: "
read -s PASS; ~/cli walletpassphrase "$PASS" 8640000 true
PASS=""
}

cli is symlink to clamd

Thank you for clearing that up. May I ask if you're using the precompiled version or did you compile the source?
When i compiled the source, i noticed that it results in a more recent version of clam.According to clam-qt: v.1.4.17-135-gac5c8cc0, build date 2017-01-20 01:57:20 -0500
Is it OK to run this version or is it recommended to stick to the older, precompiled one?

That's the correct command to unlock for staking only. I use nine 9's. If you use too many it fails silently due to a bug in Bitcoin that made its way into the CLAM client. Nine 9's gives us a little over 30 years of unlock time, so it should be enough.

All the clam.conf settings work the same whether you've unlocked for staking only or not. Your splitsize will still work.

They're both OK to run.

1.4.17 is the version I have as well.

You'll definitely benefit from importing from the bootstrap.dat file, though to set the expectation, it still took me about 3 days to complete the sync.  

Also, it is strange but from my experience, towards the end, I had to close and re-open the client a few times to let the sync continue.

CLAM's underlying technology is very similar to the coin, and the price is still high. For people who stir up money, it is not appropriate to enter.

Maybe, but what benefit does it offer over and above dooglus' established, non-evanescent, comprehensive and up-to-date bootstrap download service?

I made an updated bootstrap.dat file for people having trouble syncing their client.

It goes up to block 1868900 which was staked on Sat Jan 20 16:15:12 UTC 2018.

It is explicitly advertised in the ANN:

Problems Getting Sync'd with the Network?

The following file may be placed in the data direcrory.  Then, simply restart the client:

Bootstrap Post

A trustworthy and reliable bootstrap publishing resource is not just hand-holding and nose-wiping for needy users who have to be spoon-fed, it's a genuinely valuable service for all CLAMs holders and (IMO) its continuation unambiguously signals a stable and mature user group and is an aspect that reflects rather favourably on the coin itself.

It can shave off few weeks of synchronizing and also some point of backup. Still with doog's bootstrap took weeks to sync in. This file might help doing it faster for newcomers.

Hello !
I made a withdrawal from CLAM from poloniex to a wallet at CRYPTOPIA, it's been more than 15 days since I NOT received the coins, and neither poloniex nor CRYPTOPIA does not respond to what's happening.
MORE THAN 15 DAYS WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE THERE ARE MY COINS AND NO ANSWER.
I need your help to identify where the error is.
Here is the withdrawal data:
Wallet: xV7fo5iBNxf24RNMx3Azg52PNYjCJZS1zg
Txid: 9c6222a0714769ee91efafe9b4f7c20d0308780a5974c5c2d62bede96118a1c9

Thank you !

  That transaction is on the block chain.  Cryptopia hasn't recognized it yet.  That's the party you need to pester.

Cryptopia had some issues with CLAMS in January. Withdrawals and deposits didn't go through. They have resolved the issues at the moment (unlike yobit, don't trade there!). I recommend submitting a ticket to cryptopia. But expect that it will take 2 weeks before you get any reply
