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

CLAMS v. 1.4.3.1 CLAMspeech UPDATE:
Windows Test-Build 
Linux Test-Build
Re-Sync/reindex Required.

Is this a mandatory update? If so, is the source on github current?

It's not a mandatory update, no. The previous version still works.

It was most likely built from the v1.4.3.1 tag in the nochowder repo:

    https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/tree/v1.4.3.1

The words "Test-Build" in the links makes me think that maybe it's worth waiting a while before upgrading.

http://khashier.com/  The explorer shows Coins Created: 15101647.16439007, the number shouldn't be claimed/created?

That number refers to the initial distribution of CLAMs according to the May 12 snapshot of the BTC, LTC and DOGE blockchains. Of those 15million, less than 300,000 have been claimed. The client update should be available later tonight, which will give a precise number.

Tks, I got it, this coin has a new concept, cool!

Btw, how do you know the number of claimed coins are less than 300,000? Where can I see the figure?

The easy way to know the current supply, type this on Just-Dice chatbox

Code:

/supply

And you'll get this

INFO: 47,349 of 3,208,032 sets of 4.60545574 CLAM were dug up so far from the initial distribution
INFO: 218,064 CLAM were dug up and 148,099 CLAM were staked for a total of 366,162 CLAM
INFO: Just-Dice's bankroll of 172,684 CLAM represents 47.16% of that amount
INFO: if all the distributed CLAMs were dug up, the total money supply would be 14,922,500 CLAM

is there clam testnet / testnet faucets ?

[BayAreaCoins]

Shit I was supposed to ask that same thing.

[dooglus]

is there clam testnet / testnet faucets ?

I tried running with the -testnet flag, but can't find any peers.

I'm guessing the testnet was never premined or distributed. You'd probably need to point a miner at it to get it started.

[bobboooiie]

So is staking supposed to stop or halve somewhere in future ?

Thanks very much, CLAM is an interesting coin and JD is very functional, we can get CLAM info on JD

State of the Website:

This is a call to arms(and fingers and brains). The clamclient.com site was built by myself and creativecuriousity. While her skills are far advanced from mine, neither of us are professional web developers, and our time is limited. The bottom line is that CLAMs could use more people on the website team

No matter if you're a supergeek or this is your first time using a computer; everybody has some kind of potential for contribution. Massive growth of the CLAMs project seems imminent at this point, and we should prepare now.

I welcome any and all advice about how to move forward with the website.

Long Live the Great CLAM!

hey guys,

with the new wallet i was able to import about 20 wallets, but now i am stuck again. how to solve:

CDB : Error 2, can't open database (code -1)

wallet works fine in the BTC-QT. i searched the last 40 pages but i cant find the solution.

[BayAreaCoins]

So is staking supposed to stop or halve somewhere in future ?

I can't remember and would like to know as well.

I think it is just a flat coin per block reward fo eva if I recall.

Indeed.

There is no decay; however, since the CLAMs reward is not interest/percentage based, as the money supply increases so too the inflation (as a percentage of that money supply) decreases. 

In addition, we expect claim inflation to be positively correlated to price.  Suggesting that the incentive (reward), to claim increases and decreases with price.  The idea being that in times of price below equilibrium, claim inflation will decrease, slowing inflation to bring the price back into equilibrium.  The converse is also true.

The interesting part, and the actual experiment of CLAMs, is the impact of the positive externalities associated with claim inflation.  Each claim represents a potential user "aware" of CLAMs.  CLAMs also gives service providers, who may have distribution CLAMs attributed to them, a vested interest in the network.


What does all this mean?
It seems over time we will find out

I've not been able to reproduce this program, but from what I hear it happens on Windows if you try to import a wallet from a path with a space in it.

Try copying the wallet into the top level of C:\ and import it from there.

Does that help?

I had to supply an absolute path rather than a relative one (ie, /home/user/path/to/your/wallet.dat rather than ./wallet.dat).
