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

Hi guys,

New to alt-coins here.

May I ask a few things?

How can one mine for CLAMS?

 

You supposedly can Stake / mint new coins from the client.  

But recently, I have been getting "generated but not accepted" ..
due to I think too much competition / difficulty to stake.

So if you have a small amount,  you might not be able to stake.

I currently have no amount   

I guess it will be extremely hard for me to stake then

You could always just buy some on Poloniex exchange,  or sit in just-dice.com chat room and catch some rain.

I should also re-phrase..  you could stake with a small amount but may take a long time & if it actually is accepted.

Great!

One last question:
How is the free CLAM/BTC distribution done?

What I mean is, what amount of BTC in the wallet, amounts to how many CLAMs?
E.g: If I have 1BTC, how many free CLAMs do I get?

Many thanks

Here.. maybe this info will help you more:

On the 12th of May 2014 a snapshot was taken of the BTC, LTC, and DOGE blockchains. All addresses bearing a non-dust amount at that point in time were given 4.60545574 CLAMs for free. This was the initial distribution of CLAMs, and it how all the CLAMs were created. The intent was to make the distribution as fair as possible, since everyone involved in any of those three coins automatically got free CLAMs.

The specific blocks at which the snapshots were taken:

   BTC block 300377 (2014-05-12 12:48:17)
   LTC block 565693 (2014-05-12 13:06:31)
  DOGE block 218556 (2014-05-12 13:09:17)
In order to access your free CLAMs, you need to be able to sign a transaction using the private key for the BTC, LTC, or DOGE address that owns the CLAMs. Chances are, if you were using one of these coins back in May, you have a wallet.dat file containing tens or maybe even hundreds of addresses (including hidden 'change' addresses which you may not even be aware of), all of which possibly have free CLAMs associated with them.

The easiest way to collect those CLAMs is to make sure the wallet is now empty by moving any balance into a new wallet, and then import the wallet.dat file into the official CLAM client. It will scan the old wallet.dat file and dig up all the CLAMs.

Alternatively, you can use the /dig command in the chat tab of this site:

Type/digfor a brief guide.

Type/dig ADDRESSto check whether there are any free CLAMs available at the given address, and whether they have already been claimed or not.

Type/dig ADDRESS PRIVKEYto claim the CLAMs at the given address and have them sent to your deposit address at Just-Dice. PRIVKEY is the associated private key in WIF or hex format.

Keys in WIF format are 51 or 52 characters long, and start with a 5, K, or L for BTC, a 6 or T for LTC and a 6 or Q for DOGE; keys in hex format are 64 characters in the range 0-9 and A-F.

Any private keys you provide will be used once each to sign a transaction and broadcast it to the CLAM network, then it will be discarded. Private keys are not logged by Just-Dice, but you do need to trust us on that! It is really best to only provide private keys that are empty, and which you do not intend to use again.

So for non-dust addresses:
All addresses bearing a non-dust amount at that point in time were given 4.60545574 CLAMs for free.

About 4.6CLAM on each non dust bitcoin litecoin and dogecoin address that existed the day of the CLAM distribution.

Got it!

Many thanks  

EDIT: @picolo Many thanks to you too  

EDIT 2:  DOES THAT MEAN SATOSHI HAS A SHITLOAD OF CLAMS TOO?  
(or at least he/she/they can claim them?)

EDIT 2:  DOES THAT MEAN SATOSHI HAS A SHITLOAD OF CLAMS TOO?  
(or at least he/she/they can claim them?)

Depends if there is a bunch of addresses in their wallet.

Remember only 4.6 clam per address above dust.. not per amount of bitcoins.

Satoshi clearly stated that he/she/they used one address for each block found  

Then again, I doubt he/she/they would be importing ANY private keys in the CLAM client

Thanks, I'll try to check my clock too!

Should clock be ok now?

Yes, but it's best to leave ntpd running all the time. Then your clock will stay right.

I'm not sure what units ntpq is using, but if it was saying your clock was off by 46 seconds then that could well explain the high orphan rate you were seeing. A hardfork about a month ago really tightened things up re. clock errors.

They're supposedly milliseconds.  So yeah, I guess about 46 seconds off.

If he had 10 000 addresses, that's 460 000 CLAM

How long do we need before it's 99% certain the Satoshi's bitcoins will never be used?

I don't know,   Satoshi.. if you're reading this..  just do it soon so maybe the market can adjust.

Thanks.

NO SATOSHI PLEASE DON'T.

The price of Bitcoin will crash and the rest of the crypto will probably follow.....

EDIT: I may have read that wrong.
If you meant to move his/her/their coins then Satoshi please don't.

If you meant for him/her/them to find a way to prove that those coins are gone forever then SATOSHI PLEASE DO IT SOON!!!!

[548845]

Guys do I download and use version 1.4.3.1 or 1.4.3.0?

Because 1.4.3.1 says test-build.

[dooglus]

No, it's 4.6 per address. You have one too many 0's.

Even if Satoshi (assuming he's alive) was using 1 BTC from one of its address, the price should tank

They'll both work but 1.4.3.1(test build) offers a number of improvements that might make life easier
