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

To be honest, the change from joking about this coin being a euphemism for a female part, to suddenly being a strong advocate for free speech, makes me wonder...

Where is +1 button ?

Are fees necessary for clam? If staking is same and not ending over the time ?

It limits the number of dust transactions.

I believe so - it seems to be 0.0001 CLAM per kilobyte or part kilobyte of transaction.

The reward is 1 CLAM per block, and the target is 1 block per minute.

Note however that the protocol has changed several times. Initially the reward and the chance of staking depended on the age of the output being staked. Later the reward changed to a 'lottery' based system, where the reward was 0.1 CLAM most of the time, but up to 1000 CLAM for rare winning blocks, but old outputs still staked more easily than new ones. And later again it changed to a flat system where every block staked earns the staker 1 CLAM, and the age no longer matters.

Looks like Just dice has been lucky enough to claim most opf those block rewards .
Also sometimes, on Just Dice i shows 2 CLAMS staked. Since the reward is 1, then how does Just Dice claim 2 sometimes?

You should always pay .01CLAM at least!

Just-dice reports on the stakes once a minute.  So if it had 2 or 3 or even 4 stakes in a 60 second time frame it reports that it staked 2,3 or 4 clams.  It's still only one per stake, but they hit multiple stakes.  The average target is 1 per minute, but you could get 2 one minute then nothing for 2 minutes.

/\i'm calling bullshit!:::: if they are truely an advocate for free speech(clamspeak) they would have an irc channel that you could use on TOR. i.e. altcoinweb   :\    ~don't you think?

It was never a joke or euphemism for a female part. The word clam has been used as both a slang for the word money.. and an actual currency in the past.
When CLAM was decided on as a name none of the people involved in deciding saw the relation to said female body.

Flintstones used clams as there monetary system and is where we came up with the name from.  

I just wanted to set that straight.    

Also, we've always been an advocate for free speech... just now we support it directly in the block chain.

I'm calling BS too!  free speech is only possible with tor now is it?    freespeech != anonymity.. although I certainly appreciate the desire to remain anonymous.  your more then welcome to set up said irc channel that you can use tor with yourself.

It's not really luck - JD has a lot of CLAMs, and so stakes a lot of blocks.

Also sometimes, on Just Dice i shows 2 CLAMS staked. Since the reward is 1, then how does Just Dice claim 2 sometimes?

It checks once per minute how much it has earned in stake rewards, and shows how much it has gone up since the last time it checked. If you see it saying we staked 2 CLAMs, that means we staked 2 blocks in the last minute (or someone was really generous with their transaction fees).

It's possible to stake a block every 16 seconds if you're lucky enough. Sometimes you'll see we stake 4 CLAMs in a single minute, because we hit 4 blocks in a row within a minute.

It just happened recently:

  15:39:23 STAKE: we just staked 4.0100 CLAM (total = 10091.1290 CLAM)

We staked these blocks:

  257635 2014-12-18 23:38:24
  257636 2014-12-18 23:38:40
  257637 2014-12-18 23:38:56
  257638 2014-12-18 23:39:12

and we got the next one 16 seconds after that, too:

  257639 2014-12-18 23:39:28
