If you did not make those transactions, and they do exist on the network/chain, it has to be assumed that your private keys are compromised.
This is precisely why we recommend that users "claim"/dig their own CLAM, on their own system, with the official CLAM client.

I just use my official client CLAM and somehow while he was off with him gone transactions that are equal to the sum rewards, it seems I paid someone dig

If you "paid someone's dig", it is because you or someone who has your private key signed the transaction.

The actual act of "digging" doesn't technically exist. Nothing changes on "digging" - the only effect of importing a wallet to "dig" is that the private keys now exist in your CLAM wallet, causing the software to "see" any CLAM associated with the public key connected to that private key.

The only way for an out going transaction to exist and be verified by the network is for a transaction to be signed by the appropriate controlling private key.

I know this can be a bit complicated; but, I don't know that there is an easy answer.

If you are seeing a spent transaction in your wallet, and you didn't send it, you need to ask yourself where else the keys in that wallet exist.

There must be a copy somewhere else which signed the transactions.

Hello, I wanted to ask how such a possibility with my purse withdrew two transactions 4.60545574 CLAM - my wallet was currently offline. The amount of relief looks as if I had paid a reward for someone dig CLAMs on clamchecker. Please understand the situation, thanks

If this happens, how do I continue to keep CLAms in the wallet?

any word on why cryptsy CLAMs wont withdraw?

pending now day3

Make sure you put in a support ticket.

The same thing happened to me on Cryptsy. This was their response:

"I am really sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause you. However, we are seeing a delay when it comes to processing CLAM transactions. Our technical support team is aware of this issue and they are working on a fix. Please know that you have the option to cancel these transactions to return the coins back to your balance if you like. Just kindly let me know by responding to this ticket so I can process it for you. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience."

After this happened 3 times, I finally transferred everything out. I was wondering if they were holding the CLAMs for staking. Very Odd.

This is very strange. If they're having a problem with their CLAM wallet, why don't they report an issue in the CLAM bug tracker?

3 day delays are not normal. The longest I've even seen the client take to make a withdrawal in around 60 seconds. The coin selection code can be slow when it has a massive pile of outputs to chose between.

Don't worry, i'm sure their "Wallet Experts" are on top of the issue...

No, I cannot even type that with a straight face. Next they'll say "48 hours", and 2 months later it still won't be fixed.

Cryptsy is absolutely terrible when it comes to communicating issues to coin devs.

Thanks for the reply!

It is worth mentioning that splitting your piles smaller will not increase your absolute chance to stake (assuming all piles are mature).

Right, but it won't decrease it either. Your expected return is the same from your actively staking CLAMs no matter what size piles you use. The things that change are:

1) the percentage of time each unit of value spends maturing (this goes down the more you split)

2) the amount of CPU it takes to check for staking opportunitys (this goes up the more you split)

3) the size of the transaction when you eventually want to spend your coins (this goes up the more you split)

So that's the tradeoff - balance 1 against 2 and 3.

It is intended to increase efficiency as the piles cycle in and out of maturity.

But, the network difficulty is quite high, relatively of course.

Last I remember hearing, it took an output of 500 CLAM to stake once a day.

That would suggest that even a pile of 50 CLAM could be expected to stake only once every 10 days.

Of course, a marginal interest rate of 0.2% per day, not even considering compound interest, is nothing to be unhappy about.

Adjust your expectations accordingly.

How many clams per wallet address is a good amount now for staking? Is there a formula?

The commonly held idea at the moment seems to be splitting the pile up into smaller pieces makes staking more efficient - the concept being that a smaller portion of your entire balance is maturing at any given time.

That said, this equation likely depends on the total amount you are staking and a variety of other factors.

Something between 10 CLAM and 100 CLAM is a good place to start.

If you intend to stake long-term (such that smaller piles will almost certainly stake "eventually"), and have enough of a balance to make it worth it, something near 10 CLAM might make sense.

On the other hand, if you have a smaller total balance, intend to stake only for the short/mid-term, the marginal gains of splitting smaller may be out-weighed by the fact that extremely small piles may never stake.

I am sorry that this advice is less than precise or definitive.
Just-Dice.com, the largest staker, targets 1% of the total balance "immature" at a given time; if that helps.

It may not be related.

MtGox blamed transaction malleability shortly before shutting down. I hope cryptsy doesn't go the same way.

Spotted on Facebook and paid for by Ebay.

Interesting - Link?

Here is the 1 penny listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sell-empty-Bitcoin-Litecoin-and-Dogecoin-addresses-for-005BTC-Check-for-free-/181899276863?hash=item2a5a0ab23f

Here is the $100,000 listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sell-empty-Bitcoin-Litecoin-and-Dogecoin-addresses-for-005BTC-Check-for-free-/181898638980?hash=item2a5a00f684

There are two auctions in order to be sure that the CLAM listing appears at the top of the page regardless of sorting high/low or low/high.

Ebay has the aggressive remarketing of items listed and marketing in general really. The screenshot above was from my Facebook page.

I noticed that Ebay now has a a "Virtual Currency" section and it even has a large list of Altcoins to choose from when listing on Ebay. It maybe really cool to try to get Clamcoin listed on their Ebay list. I imagine it wouldn't be that hard.

Next on the agenda is covering Craigslist.
