Not sure if posted before but will post to help others.

Clamcoin Windows 10 client seems to have some bug that prevents it from synching by using the instructions by the post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.msg9772191#msg9772191

The bug appears if you have your Windows 10 machine connected to the Internet while extracting the bootstrap.dat file. It reaches the maximum of 750 orphaned blocks very soon and just stalls and refuses to continue adding more blocks to synch even though the full height contained by the bootstrap.dat file has not been reached.

Solution to this is to download that full bootstrap.dat file, put it in the same directory as the wallet.dat is and then disconnect from the Internet.

After that reopen the Clamcoin client and let it have a clean block extraction while been cut off from the Internet and no orphan blocks appear.

On OSX there does not seem to be similar orphaned block problem while extracting the bootstrap.dat file while been connected to the Internet and extraction works as expected.

I had similar problem.  Win 10 as well.  I did the offline block sync but still had issue. I ended up running clam GUI with maxorphanblocks switch to 10,000.
, e.g. 'clam-qt.exe -maxorphanblocks=10000'  This was probably overkill but I was tired of constantly restarting the client and checking the debug logs.  After it finished syncing I restarted the client without that switch.  Interesting to note was that even though I set to 10,0000 (and debug was showing over 1000 orphans at some points), the RAM usage wasn't as significantly impacted as I was thinking it would be.  Actually, just eye-balling it, I didn't notice any difference.

Update/Warning/Plea:

You may recall that I had some CLAM taken from my wallet due to my own stupidity of importing well known private keys into my wallet when I first got into CLAM and then subsequently, many moons later, reusing the CLAM addresses generated from these well known private keys to store CLAM I had purchased.  Eventually someone else imported these same well known private keys into their wallet allowing them to sweep my CLAM off to an address under their control.

This is an update to that situation, a warning to others not to do what I did, and a plea to the person who swept my CLAM to please contact me and return the CLAM.

Here is the entire list of CLAM swept from my wallet:

Thanks, good to know. I just found 9.2 clams. It's not much but it's something

Congrats!

help!! my Clam wallet is blocked at 1 year and 23 weeks ago, I tried with the bootstrap but it does not work, connections there are about 15 but nothing, do not download a block, the blocks processed are "1153179".
I tried again and again with the bootstrap but it always gives me the same result.
can anyone tell me where can I get a copy of the updated blockchain for 2018?

Could you be a little more specific?

Do you run win10? There were some issues about it.

Otherwise you can try dooglus bootstrap

Only 12 work from all of these so do please update as you want.

I just filtered these (79 nodes) off've my client's getpeerinfo results ...

I also have 79 peers, but only 16 of them are outbound connections. The other 63 connected to me, and so may not be listening for incoming connections:

$ clamd getpeerinfo | grep inbound | sort | uniq -c
     16     "inbound" : false,
     63     "inbound" : true,

These are the 16 inbound ones:

$ clamd getpeerinfo | grep 'inbound.*false' -B12 | grep '"addr"' | cut -d'"' -f4 | sort -t. -k4n
158.69.32.10:31174
138.197.211.12:31174
51.15.208.17:31174
86.6.94.20:31174
76.68.208.40:31174
68.200.152.44:31174
54.83.128.67:31174
97.83.177.95:31174
45.33.51.122:31174
46.4.113.143:31174
24.122.244.181:31174
163.172.138.202:31174
86.61.18.209:31174
194.88.107.212:31174
159.203.5.220:31174
68.195.28.248:31174

So maybe try those 16 first, since they for sure were accepting incoming connections at some point.

[gjhiggins]

The other 63 connected to me, and so may not be listening for incoming connections:

Yes, of course. As I had to remind myself, they're probably listening but the router for the (home?) subnet they're connected to won't be forwarding on 31774 unless the user has either enabled NAT (against the advice of the DHS) or set up port forwarding.

Finally I have static IP.
What should I do to improve my connection to CLAM. I am staking and getting far less than expected in reward.

[Yanakitu Tenatako]

This is strange.

Are you getting CLAM coins these days?
Staking is not working, like 51% attack or similar, time to get reward is 2hrs, and I am getting 1-2 per day.

[ijuststarted]

Would you mind telling us how many CLAMs you're actually staking? So we could compare your results to similar stakers.
However, the client showing "2 Hours" and you receiving 1-2 per day doesn't sound too unrealistic in my opinion.

[jordixal]

Just saying, this coin it seems to be in accumulation phase, low volume an lateral price. Definitely will see it again to 2mbtc. Rigth time for buying

2 months ago 1000 clams will give you 1 stake.

[Melody Jelly]

Is there any new things going on here?
Honestly speaking I cannot see what is reason for that coin. From trading view looks it is dead. Good thing is support poloniex and bittrex. but volumes are not huge, not sure how long it will stay on exchanges

[hroub]

Has anyone been able to withdraw CLAM from Yobit.net in the past 2 months? I've been trying to and it keeps saying "Withdrawal for such currency is temporary off."

I've been trying since mid December or even before... Thought it would be fixed, but it doesnt look like it's going anywhere. 



Anyone knows what's up? Thanks.

I tried and eventually moved some to bleutrade which works just fine. Had same message for weeks and no reply from customer support.

It appears like the "Withdrawal for such currency is temporary off." is part of yobit's business plan. If I were you I'd trade the CLAMS for BTC and then into LTC and get them off of yobit - and never go back there .

What kind of business plan?
I think I'm gonna do that... I was hoping I wouldnt have to because I had bought those CLAMs at a good price. Yoshit has been totally ignoring my tickets for over 2 weeks:
