looks like you have to import bitcoin wallet.. distribution seems to be based on the number of non-dust addresses you controlled in 2014.. 4.6 CLAMs per address (non-dust) you controlled.. seems like a bizarre way to distribute an airdrop.

CLAMs were also distributed to Litecoin and Doge wallets, just for the record.  You guys remember Doge?

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

Hello.
Does somebody work on Clam coin? will be some updates in the future?

I think it has it all.

Poloniex, shapeshift, gambling, staking...

What else do you have in mind?

How can I run the Clam-qt Clam Wallet Client on a Raspberry Pi 3?
Thanks

I am currently running headless clamd on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
The compilation was a bit challenge - mostly the Berkeley part - because the most valuable advices are written on the end of the manual :-). Don't try to install it on your own (like me), just blindly follow the instruction. And also there is missing one "make" command in the instruction. (There is one "make install", without previous "make")

Just I am not sure with the "qt" part.

I think it would be a challenge even compiling it, let alone running it.

The headless daemon (no GUI) allocates more than 2GB of memory on my Odroid C2 (64 bit ARM CPU/2GB RAM), and has around 1.2GB resident (actually in use). The GUI based -qt client will likely use more, possibly a lot more.

The headless daemon would probably run on a 1GB Pi3 - I've run another coin daemon on a Pi1 512MB B+ - but with limited RAM it will need to use swap. As your free memory decreases there will be a sudden dropoff in performance, the OS becoming stuck in a death spiral, spending all of its time data swapping between RAM and storage. Processes effectively grind to a halt because they become I/O bound, spending most of the time waiting for the OS to swap data between RAM and storage.

But if you want to try it just for a challenge, go for it. Smiley

No such thing as being late to CLAM....

I want to say hi to investors and gamblers. Hi!

So. Is there a signature campaign here on btctalk that pays in Clam? If yes, please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

CLAM Staking:

What is the most profitable method to stake clamcoins?

I have heard of just-dice. What are the type of returns I can expect. I have like 100 CLAMs.

Also if its beneficial for the network I can stake on my windows PC.

What are the returns on personal staking vs staking on just-dice?

just-dice: controls a large portion of the network's unspent outputs, so it will stake consistently, but you do pay a 10% (I think) premium on each stake.

local client: you get your full stake reward, but with a low balance staking will be erratic. You may stake twice in one day, then not stake for another 3 weeks. It does benefit the network because it's decentralising proof-of-stake mining.

I'll let someone else provide you with an estimate of the return on 100 CLAMs, but remember that your ability to win a stake is based on network weight, which will vary.

Some rough calculations:

http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/CLAM/address.php?address=xXBa8jCUprdaJfM8Y4R5tsemEEumuP1WpL shows the biggest solo staker. You can see how often he's staking. He seems to have staked 30 times in 3 days, with a balance of 6500. So he's making 10 CLAMs per day, or 1 CLAM per day per (6500 / 10) = 650 CLAMs staking.

https://just-dice.com/misc/wagered.txt shows how many CLAMs Just-Dice stakes per day. It's around 1320 per day with 847,580 invested, or 1188 after the 10% commission, so JD investors make something like 1 CLAM per day per (847580 / 1188) = 713 CLAMs invested.

tl;dr: on JD you need ~713 CLAMs invested to earn 1 CLAM per day; solo staking you only need ~650, so solo staking is better.

Edit: this github comment from 6 months ago shows that you used to need around 1350 CLAMs to be staking in order to earn 1 CLAM per day. This suggests that the difficulty has roughly halved in the last 6 months, which seems counterintuitive.

The explanation is the alt-coin bubble we're currently in. Half the CLAMs left Just-Dice and ended up sitting in the Poloniex cold wallet, not staking. So half as many CLAMs are staking, but the amount staked is the same as before. So each CLAM stakes twice as well as it used to.

If this file does not exist, then is it something that needs to be created?

Yes. The CLAM client will create the folder for you automatically, and will create a wallet.dat file inside the folder too, but it will never create the clam.conf file. You need to do that for yourself. It's possible that on some operating systems the installation program will create an example clam.conf for you. I've never see that happen though.

Files that have names that start with a "." are "hidden" by default.  So, in a terminal, you'll have to specify -l (to ls) in order to see them.

You probably know this, but it's 'ls -a' not 'ls -l' to show hidden files.

I am very late to the CLAM party, but now that I'm here, I'm having a lot of fun! I made a post about digging for CLAMs in all my old addresses here:

http://object2212.com/?p=1566

Let me know what I got wrong!

Also, I've been having trouble figuring out how to get my CLAMs to stake... I'm sure it's here somewhere, but does anyone have a link handy?

Great article! 

No such thing as being late to CLAM.... some would argue that you're early Tongue.

The best and most profitable place to stake is on Just-Dice.com.

Staking elsewhere and at home helps decentralize the system though.

 I don't know of the case of ClamClient but I read that in the case of Bitcoin, the bitcoin.conf file is optional and not usually created automatically, When I had wallets installed the .conf file was always there, I don't remember a case that need to create it from scratch, It was there when I needed to add things like nodes IP, maybe it's part of how your OS works with the wallet, so if you don't have it and you know that you're in the right directory where the file should be, you should try to find a sample to use it as a template for your configurations or just add the parameters that apply to your case and create the .conf file. This can be done in many plain text editors just by saving the file as .conf

I will try to create the file and set it up to split outputs when I stake.  Thanks.  Smiley
