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

[dooglus]

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

It goes up to block 4420063 which was staked on Mon Dec 12 13:10:22 UTC 2022.

It's available here:

    bootstrap.dat

Download it, put it into the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat, then restart the client.

If you are using the QT client, it will say "importing blocks" in the lower left corner while the bootstrap.dat file is imported. That is how you can tell that the file is being used. It will take a while to import it, but it will be a lot faster than trying to sync using the p2p network. When it is done, the client will rename the file to bootstrap.dat.old and won't look at it again. Once it has been renamed you can delete it if you like.

To verify that you have the right file its size is 4233283532 bytes and its sha256 hash is eedf3d510c730cbc782fa30a7c3514db608ef6ca775d0257c4990428e55782ee.

There is also a folder called 'partial' which contains a collection of smaller files, each with 100k blocks in them.

Download whichever ones you need and either import them one at a time by renaming each one to 'bootstrap.dat' in turn and restarting the client for each, or append them all together into a file called 'bootstrap.dat'.

In Windows you can append the files together by running cmd, and using something like:

Code:

copy /b *00000-*.dat bootstrap.dat

In Linux the command would be:

Code:

cat *00000-*.dat > bootstrap.dat

  whats happening or did I just read the chart upside down

Anyone have any ideas why my network-weight is showing impossibly high? I'm fully synced and am following the block count according to the block explorer.

The numbers are not correct, they'll be fixed in the next update.   Although, the network weight is correct, just it should be divided by 100000000 to get a more expected number.

It's in satoshis.

I made a few changes to this stuff recently for the next release, so the estimate is much better now.

Here's how it looks on the JD bankroll wallet:

$ clamd getstakinginfo | grep -e weight -e expect
    "weight" : 59535.05603665,
    "netstakeweight" : 192234.98843445,
    "expectedtime" : 210

That's saying JD has 59k of 192k staking, and expects to stake a block every 210 seconds, which sounds about right.

Edit: if you're wondering why the weight is 59k when the bankroll is 66k, it's because recently moved and recently staked coins don't count. Coins need to rest for 510 blocks after staking, and 4 hours after moving before they can stake, and during that resting period they don't contribute to 'weight' (or netstakeweight).

Big deposits get split up the first time they stake, like this:
  http://khashier.com/tx/f92d43d0788e9f937f032b1101a81874769a7cf9baf9536481973cb385787a7f

It'll be out of action for 8 hours (510 blocks) but then will be fine as after than, only a few blocks of 4 CLAM at a time will be resting.

The priv key needs to be in QT form.

BE SURE TO EMPTY THE ADDRESSES PRIOR TO CLAIMING CLAMS.

Chrome won't let me open the zip file for the software. Kinda shady.. I've looked and I have several addresses that have been sent clams, but the problem with Chrome thinking the zip file is shady, the low price of clam, and the inconvenience of obtaining the privatekey and moving funds around doesn't make this a worthwhile endeavor for me.

I don't use multibit and haven't looked at this, but AK was on the site earlier and said:

Is there a way to import the (DOGE) private keys?

The console's importprivkey gave me

Code:

Invalid private key (code -5)

Thanks

The last update accidentally removed this in some code merge's. It would currently have to be converted back to the original hex key, then the proper Clams prefix applied to it before it could be imported. 

I'm working on pushing out the new release today, its top on my priority list.  Theres been a bunch of new useful changes I really want to get out there. 

This has been added back in also, so it will allow importing doge/ltc or btc keys directly.

Thank you! Best solution is the official solution, so I'll wait.

When you give JD your private key using the /dig command, it will use the private key to create and sign a raw transaction that moves your 4.6 CLAMs to your JD deposit address, and then will throw the private key away. I don't log it anywhere.

I can't prove that. I could be lying, and building up a big collection of BTC private keys, planning to rob them all later on.

So for your safety I recommend that you only send private keys to JD (or any other site) once you are sure they are "retired" from use.

They're your private keys. Once you share them with anyone you can no longer be sure that they are private.

Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
