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

[creativecuriosity]

Just a notice to everyone!

Expect the kHashier.com multi-pool to go offline for a moment later this evening, possibly quite soon.

x11 is being added.

It is expected to come back up (and stay up) quite quickly - but we all know how updates go.

very nice now I can put my miners on Clams

Guys, I am a little worried that if we do not get listed on more exchanges, Clams will follow the same fate as Huntercoin. While they are completely different in basically every aspect, the one thing in common is they both are only listed on poloniex (Huntercoin is on more exchanges now, but only after the price completely bottomed out). We should petition more exchanges(Bittrex, Mintpal, C-cex, Cryptsy) and get them to list Clams.

Any plans to offer this change for a future version? I'm familiar with *coind source in general, but I'm not yet comfortable with the inner workings of creating transactions (as evidenced by my above failure.)

Oh, it was pretty trivial.

Edit src/wallet.cpp and change:

int64_t nStakeCombineThreshold = 1000 * COIN;

to

int64_t nStakeCombineThreshold = 0 * COIN;

thanks for sharing this dooglus, if i ever i hit a big lotto block im sure to use this, as for now, my amount of clams is still manageble with having multiple addresses approach

Clams?

Proof of Pearl?

 

Worth it just for the laugh.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. A coin that I took over is listed on only one exchange, and was recently disabled by that exchange for nearly 7 weeks. Being off the air for that long basically killed the value.

Would be better if CLAM get listed on much bigger exchange to increase volume and investors interest.

oysters make pearls, not clams.

Not true

Pearl of Lao Tzu

[francism]

So one of the most expensive pearl in the world found in Clam. Interesting facts about pearl.

Unfortunately, it is late and finishing up the addition of x11 is going to have to wait until tomorrow.
Apologies for the false alarm.

I hope you are ready to constantly add new coins. With all the fpga X11 hash out there, it is only profitable to mine X11 coins right when they launch before the difficulty skyrockets.

It is interesting times for CLAMs. While there's a need to expand the exchanges perhaps for security, price and stability there's also the need to raise awareness so more people dig up their unclaimed CLAMs - without these undiscovered coins, volumes are going to be low.

I'm doing my bit to raise awareness where I can and I suggest everyone does the same. Any and all sizes of exchanges added will have a positive beneficial effect I feel.

reading 2-3 pages back, really gets me want to know more and more...
ok... current situation is I haven't downloaded the client & don't have any clams yet
but by checking on khash, I know I can claim some clams based on my btc address

now I have some questions on staking,
If I have 3 unspents (say 1,1,2) on a single address and all are old enough to stake
so if one of them stakes (using original client)... then it will combine the 3 into 1 output of 4.1 Clams? which will mature in 510 blocks
hence instead of having 2 more chance for staking, Im left with 1 locked unspent. Is this correct?
and it is fixed 0.1 Clams stake reward unless hit the lottery for up to 1000 Clams.
and what is the minimum amount of each unspent to be eligible for staking?

Yes, I think that is correct, mostly. There are some wrinkles, like outputs created in the same transaction as the output that is staking aren't combined even if they are at the same address, and outputs aren't combined if one is "pay to pubkey" and the other is "pay to address". But for the most part, you're right.

and it is fixed 0.1 Clams stake reward unless hit the lottery for up to 1000 Clams.

Well, every time you stake you get a lottery prize - it's just that 99% of lottery prizes are 0.1 CLAM. The bigger prizes are very rare. The 2nd most common prize is 0.10000001 for instance... I posted a chart showing the probability of each size of prize earlier in this thread.

Edit: here:

and what is the minimum amount of each unspent to be eligible for staking?

There's no minimum, but the chance of an output staking is proportional to the "weight" of the output, which is the age of the output (in days) times its value (in CLAMs) rounded down to an integer. So if age times value is less than 1, it has effectively zero chance of staking.

In other words, an output of 0.01 CLAM won't have a chance of staking until it is 100 days old (0.01 * 100 = 1).

Got another lotto block and did not even realize till now  . Just a baby, but I'll take it.

Where else would one find the most expensive pearls given they grow inside [preferably] wild clams?  lol.

I get quite a lot of only-just-over-0.1 wins, like these two:



Did you vanitygen your *CunNT* address?

But why not create an Android wallet able to stake our coins??
