Topic: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin" - page 120. (Read 1151252 times)

 In Just-Dice chat we have a command that help with that statistics, it show how many sets (each set refer to a funded BTC/LTC/Doge address) of 4.60 clams have been claim of the total of possible claimable sets, also the amount of Clam in circulation and how many come from claiming (we refer to it as dug Clams) and how many come from the Staking process. It also give you the theoretical money supply if all the Clams get claimed all at once. This command is "/supply" without the quotes.

 At the moment that i wrote this the statistics goes like this:
222,562 of 3,208,032 sets of 4.60545574 CLAM were dug, This is around if my the calculator didn't fail me 6.93% have been claim so rounding we can say that there is 93% that have not been claim yet.
1,024,999 CLAM were dug up and 1,472,515 CLAM were staked for a total of 2,497,514 CLAM
if all the distributed CLAMs were dug up, the total money supply would be 16,246,916 CLAM


 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 set it to show hidden files and still do not see it.

I am wondering if the file is not there because I have not made any changes to the clam client since installing it?

You may already know this, but if you're new to linux it might be helpful:

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.  In a gui file explorer, you may have to click something like "show hidden files".

CLAMS!

Cool - I like the idea that they were sent to holders of existing other coins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin) to get them out there...just wondering what percentage have not yet been claimed.  Sorry if this is not the correct section to ask that question.

Thank you.   

If this file does not exist, then is it something that needs to be created?   I am trying to set up a miner to automatically split outputs when I find a block.

There is also other criteria that should be meet in order to get your BTC/LTC/Doge wallet to be funded, not just having or owning the address before May 2014, you need to meet some balance threshold, so your account is not considered a dust holding account, also you need to have that amount in the address at the moment that the snapshot of the different blockchains was taken. I don't use Coinbase but I doubt they give the private keys, even to their "vault" multisignature users, also doubt that "vault" function was around when the Clam distribution was made.


 Usually on Windows you can find it at this location:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Clamcoin (on Windows 7)
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Clamcoin ( on Windows XP)

For linux you can try to look for this location:

~/.clamcoin/

Where is the clam.conf located?  Thanks! 

I tried this site to check  https://freebitcoins.com/clamchecker/dig/ but it's saying my account not eligible.

Even I had my wallet address before then may 2014. I don't think Coinbase either give me private keys or will claim clam for me.

I was thinking that since no coins had moved out of the address it likely wasn't an exchange address, but I see now one of the deposits has moved. I guess I was wrong.

It is possible if and only if you have the private key for the address. I don't know if Coinbase will give you the private key or not. Alternatively Coinbase could claim the CLAM on your behalf and share it with you. You would have to talk to them about that.

Is it possible I can claim CLAM from coinbase address.

My poloniex address looks similar & a similar balance.

I've never seen a cold storage sweep, like what you used to do.

I would be surprised if that is a poloniex address. I think they move most of their coins to cold storage shortly after receiving them, and no coin have ever moved from that address.

 Exactly like chilly2k said you make the claim of your clams using the private keys or the wallet.dat (that is a file that where the BTC/LTC/Doge wallet usually store private keys) and import it in your Clamclient, in addition to that, usually some wallets are more easy to claim because of the way they stores the private keys.

 Maybe is this what you are asking for, as an example there are some wallets that use the Hierarchical Deterministic (HD for short) address generation method that compared with wallet that doesn't use this way and store the private keys in a normal wallet.dat file, those HD wallets (for example Multibit HD) are more complicated to claim because they use a 12 words mnemonic, that is a group of 12 words that is used to backup the seed that is used to create your wallet addresses (private keys) and if this hasn't change, I was checking recently and didn't, you can't retrieve you private keys or export it straight from the software. They are workarounds to extract the Private Keys but not as easy as click "show private key" or "export ".

So if your wallet has the ability to import and export private keys or store you private keys in a wallet.dat, those wallets are way more easy to be claim. In this category you can find BitcoinQT client, Electrum, Multibit Classic (dunno if still available) and many others.

My website FreeBitcoins.com allows Core and now MultiBit.  https://freebitcoins.com/clamchecker/dig_wallet/

I'm not sure about what the CLAM client does.

  You don't use a different wallet, you need either the private key, or the wallet.dat file.  Then you use the clamcoin wallet to claim.  

yes i am aware of this. what i want to know is which wallet among the many wallets out there will make it easier to import to get the clams? thanks for the response
