So!

Viking coin has 5 Mill.coins only ,but almost dead though. May be interesting to pick up. Dunno.

Hmmmmm.... We were just reviewing 'coins' to add last night, to keep profitability up.

We do have plans to add additional algorithms on the Multi-Pool....

If we had reason to believe that a new algorithm would increase the hash on the pool, as opposed to diluting it - we are not against that at all!

FAUCET!!

Easy enough to put together -> but we have no ready-made pre-mine to pump into it; it would need to be a community affair.


Just want to re-iterate something we have said recently, via Twitter.
I will simply copy the relevant 'tweet's:

"A promise to all CLAMS users: the block chain has no moral opinion. We will never fork to seize coins."
https://twitter.com/ClamClient/status/488504931758776321

"A bookkeeper who "fudges" the books, has no place being trusted to keep the public ledger. Pressure is moot."
https://twitter.com/ClamClient/status/488506196886708224

"VeriCoin, Do this fork, and you have successfully 51% double spent your own network."
https://twitter.com/ClamClient/status/488508451161534464

If you agree, let those who hear your voice know that CLAMS believes in only the block chain as the arbiter of the public ledger...

I find all this staking talk very confusing as I am relatively new to crypto. Right now I have around 5 clams staking have gotten 1 stake for .11. 510 confirms later balance went back to spendable to start staking again. From what I have read so far( ) I should send .5 to myself 10 times to make it stake a bit faster?

X11 is consistently more profitable then nscrypt lately, specifically with ATI cards and 14.6 drivers.  I'd probably throw some hash back on the khashier if you supported X11.

You rock.  IMO, the VRC move is unbelievable - rolling back a blockchain for external non-technical reasons is disturbing at best, disrespects the entire idea of a decentralized ledger, and I would go as far as to say represents an entirely dishonest act.

With that many clams, you're probably fine leaving them as one output.  It's when you have lots of clams that it starts making sense to split them up.

Ah ok I see clam rich  peps should split them up. For us clam poor peps the potential gain is to small to make a difference

Actually it seems that if they need splitting up, they will be split up automatically for you eventually. Then possibly recombined, re-split, etc. The client seems a little confused.

When CLAMS inevitably takes off for the moon then my unofficial clamclient.com website will surely get alot of traffic if it's still the only website. With that in mind I'm hoping the community will point out any information that isn't right or could be worded more clearly, etc. I just made some more small design changes and edits, and added a "proof-of-pearl" page.

I never really read the OP before.

Here are some comments:

kHashier.com/]<-- Earn CLAMS, Forge the CLAM Shell

There's a spare ] in the URL which is probably a mistake.

Minimum Stake Age: 8 Hours

The code (src/main.cpp) says:

Code:

unsigned int nStakeMinAge = 4 * 60 * 60; // 8 hours

Note the comment says 8 hours, but the code itself says 4 hours.

How Your Protected.

"You're".

As more people with the skills required *to?* build and sign the binary do so, the trust of the CLAM client will grow.

The "to" is missing.

How do I get my CLAMS?

We've done our best to make seeing your CLAMS in your wallet as easy as possible.  
The CLAMS are already associated and controlled by your Private Key on the block chain.

This section says nothing about how to get your clams.

The Three-Step Claim Your CLAMS Guide (The Quick Guide)

This section does - so we don't need the previous one?

1. Run clam-qt.exe once to auto-magically create the AppData/Clam folder.
2. Copy the BTC, LTC or DOGE wallet.dat file into the AppData/Clam folder.
3. Run clam-qt.exe with the --salvage wallet argument.

You're assuming people are using Windows. The argument is "-salvagewallet" (all one word, 2nd dash optional).

1. Download the CLAM Client, below.
1. Download the CLAM Client, or compile from git below.
1. Download the CLAM Client, below.

It's above, not below isn't it?

Dooglus, a very helpful member of the community

I prefer lowercase.

I got bored at that point and stopped reading. I don't mine, so the stuff about khashier isn't of interest to me.

Hope that's helpful.

[dooglus]

I have my old doge wallet backup but there's no doge left in them. Do I still get clams?

No.  Obviously the wallet.dat has to contain private keys that hold funds.  DUH!!! OTHERWISE HOW WILL THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY.

I've imported large Bitcoin and Dogecoin wallets without any problems. The Bitcoin wallet had several hundred BTC in it, and the Dogecoin wallet had over 100 million DOGE. The wallets weren't encrypted. Nothing was stolen.

That's pretty conclusive proof to me that the client is legit.

anyone can ask me why i cant download the windows wallet?

Do you have a Internet Connection? 56k works the best!

yes i have

but i cant open mega.co.nz

[Matt9301]

Any nodes?? My wallet is sync but last block was generated 12 hours ago and doesn't want go next D:

Might be a Great Firewall issue maybe?  Are you located in China by chance?

dooglus,

Think I covered most of them, a little polish and accuracy is always a good thing.
Honestly, the OP has grown into a giant indecipherable wall of text.
I think I will make an effort in the coming days to get some of it converted into shiny info-graphic and prune it down a bit.

As always, thanks again garthkiser
I think it looks great!

There was a mandatory update and fork yesterday. 
Please be sure that you have updated your software.

In addition, it would likely be wise to delete and re-sync your block index (everything in your data directory EXCEPT your wallet.dat file, of coarse).

but i cant open mega.co.nz

FWIW: I'm in Australia, and have never been able to download anything from mega.co.nz. I either get a dialog complaining about local storage space, or an endless turning cog wheel. So there's no need to tease feryjhie about his/her internet connection.

If you use file sharing websites that have fancy javascript necessary to grab files it's probably a good idea to include a more "standard" website as backup.

A reasonable idea - on it.
Any recommendations? 
That have worked for you in the past?

Thank you, I have downloaded the update and re-sync my block index and now It's 0k! Thank you again..
