Starting to get jealous... I can't make a fried clam Po-Boy Sandwich with only 0.1 CLAMS!

Only takes one decent block though, and you would have plenty to stake with
But honestly, 0.1 is quite a small pile - if you were in it for the long haul, it might be worth it to grab some from market and stake them.
That is something that you would have to gauge on your own of coarse, though.

The odd thing is, with staking as it is now; it is a competitive PoS.
Ergo, competing for stake is very similar to competing in Proof-Of-Work for blocks with a miner.
It is an investment in a "miner" to stake lottery blocks, as the block has a definite non-interest based reward.

Interestingly, at the moment, even a small pile staking reasonably often, the ROI figures look amazing

Another coin with a similar method of distribution to CLAM launched recently - there are free distributions for Dogecoin, Bitcoin and several other coin holders too.

It's called LottoShares, and users can immediately use their funds to play the lottery!

What does
"Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)"
mean when trying to importwallet multibit.key ?

How long does it take the multipool to payout?

Some thing might be wrong with my staking. My first and only was 0.11 48 hours ago. And for some reason while staking sgminer 4.1.0 crashes every so often. Crashing only started since wallet update.

I needz some high definition logos and such.. I would like to make some Clams-Wear.. i.e. t-shirts and such...

Also can we call the Clams Cold Wallet the 'Clam Bake'?

So now the "Clam Shell" consists of about 10 BTC in buy orders slightly above 0.001...
Everybody can relax... and get a good night's sleep.

This is great...
Because so many young coins steadily drift to zero and get delisted...
And "Clam Shell" looks to be great stabilizing solution for this.

Now we need to get some Alt Press about all features...
We have at least 3 interesting features worth writing about.

I have ~.13 CLAM in an address with 8 inputs.  The most recent input has ~1000 confirmations.

Can anyone explain to me why these aren't staking?  Mainly curious.  Are the TXOUTs too small to stake for some reason?

There is a minimum balance for staking on some coins, I don't know about Clams.

But is your wallet encrypted? Staking won't occur if it has a password.

Not encrypted.  Anyone have a clue what's up here?  Is there a minimun balance required to stake?

[viking_coin]

So!
Ideas anyone?

More algos coming to the multi-pool anytime soon?

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

Small Correction Viking Coin has 5,000 (5 thousand coins.) Viking is far from Dead, we are in the process of adding merged mining to Viking Coin.

Sure, we have all of the graphics in vector format.
I will look into getting them into an archive and posted in the OP Post soon

Sweet!
My math may be wrong (you seem to be the expert mathematician, dooglus) but what does the ROI on the CLAMS Lottery look like at the moment? lol.
Why would anyone invest in an A.S.I.C. or mining rig when there is a proof-of-pearl(stake) coin like CLAMS that essentially functions similar?

Glad to see someone taking the CLAMS Proof-Of-Chain idea and running with it. Don't entirely agree with their choice to only distribute to the richest pubKeys, but the thought is nice.  Let us hope that they are as trustworthy with their user's privateKeys and their code as we have been.

No idea what the issue is with sgminer, as it shouldn't be related.  Concerning your staking, it appears that staking is enabled and active - I would expect that your outputs are simply not old enough or large enough yet to stake again.  Regardless, time will march onward and age will accrue; making staking inevitable.

Not encrypted.  Anyone have a clue what's up here?  Is there a minimun balance required to stake?

I will ask one of the other Devs next time I see them; but I am not aware of a minimum size to stake.  That said, 0.1 coin @ 10 age == 1 coin @ 1 age, ergo it may take some time for those small outputs to accrue enough age to stake.

I hold many good coins just wanna say Clam Dev is one of the best.. and very helpful...
thanks DEV...

Also, since I'm writing...

When staking, would having several good sized blocks or one good block be better? Will multiple blocks in a single wallet stake at the same time? Or does it have to wait to complete a staked block?

Thank you for the optimism.  You're making this CLAM feel all fuzzy
The team and I try our best.

We were hoping a community member would step up and create a block explorer for CLAMS - the explorer @ http://www.kHashier.com:2750/ was not intended to be a permanent solution.  Getting it back up now.

Multiple outputs in a single wallet can be combined to stake in the same coinStake if they are controlled by the same "address"/pubKey. Honestly, this is not an optimum solution considering that CLAMS does not give a bonus reward based on output size.

Outputs controlled by separate "addresses"/pubKeys operate independently as far as staking is concerned.

Concerning optimum stake output size, this is ever changing as the network weight changes.
I don't believe anyone has done the math as of yet, though the distribution amount of ~4.6 CLAMS seems to stake quite well.

Hope that is helpful

Right now Viking is trading on two exhanges that don't see much volume. RockyTrade.net and Allcrypt.

KGW still in place for now which makes for good mining. Once merged mining is finish who knows where the diff will end up.  Viking Coin page in my sig.
