What is  easest way to check Do I have clams on my LTC address.?
Some blockexplorer or something?

If you are 100% positive you know what pub/priv key pair the LTC existed "at" on May 12th of last year, and understand "change" addresses - the methods listed so far would likely be the easiest most sure-fire way to claim.

If you, however, don't understand "change" addresses, it is recommended you use the official CLAM software to claim.



EDIT:

The important point is that simply looking at your "receive" addresses in the GUI of a wallet will not guarantee that you get all of the CLAM you deserve.

This seems to contradict the claim in your sig that everyone who has LTC has CLAMs, despite your casino manager's spirited and emotional objections.

Feel free to try: http://clamchecker.com

Everything on the site works right now and we are just polishing up a few typos her n there + security stuff.

Checking to see if you have CLAMS is completely free and anything further than that has fees (addition posts coming once we launch.)

Ok thanks
But
What date should I have ltc on my address or is it imoprtant or not ?

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)

The easiest way is probably to visit Just-Dice.com, go to the 'chat' tab, type:
  /dig Ljfik3gh938f82g132789gf

where that's your LTC address, and hit return.

It will tell you whether you have CLAMs waiting for you or not.

If you're prepared to tell it the private key as well, it will claim the CLAMs for it, and credit them to your account. Then you can withdraw them to an address of your choosing.
Ok thanks

The issue at https://github.com/nochowderforyou/clams/issues/224 has been fixed and closed by dooglus.

Well done Wink

Unfortunately I cannot quote your sig, which says "anyone who owns BTC has CLAMs".

I own BTC and, as a result of your distribution, owned at one time some CLAMs.  I quickly sold them.

Consider correcting your sig.

Unfortunately I cannot quote your username, which says "TooDumbForBitcoin".

Consider correcting it to "TooDumbForCryptocurrenciesInGeneral".

Well, yeah.

Someone who uses clam-qt should build the latest version from github (master branch) and check that my fix is reasonable before I make a release with it in.

as I have said now pass around 10
I don't understand that part, sorry.
and expected time to earn reward still 18-20 day,(currently I staking 25clam but not in one block) and another question:  in my client  coin control panel I see that coin  weight increase, but in  dashboard I see my coin  weight- 25 without change around week long?
The weight of each output is the same as its value in CLAMs. It shouldn't increase ever, except that the weight is 0 if the output is immature or has been involved in a transaction in the last 4 hours.
If the coin control panel is showing changing weights, I think it must be wrong. I only ever use clamd, not clam-qt, so that's where I focus all of my bug-fixing attention. I don't think anyone is putting much effort into fixing clam-qt bugs, unfortunately. It's probably still worth creating an issue in the CLAM github issue tracker to make a note of the bug.
On the other hand, it's normal for the "expected time to stake" to go up and down a little, since it is calculated using the current network difficulty, which also fluctuates. It's typically around 500/balance days, give or take. So if your balance is 25, that's 20 days.

What would be the best strategy regarding block size? Keep all my CLAM in a single block? Several blocks 5-10 CLAM each?

this is some kind of anomaly or is it normal? Grin

Neither, but really quite lucky. You should stake about once per month with average luck, like kolloh said.

hello
I am new in clam world, more recently  I got around 14 clam and start staking, and after 4 day I earn  first reward 1clam , next day second 1 clam, it surprised me and cheer, only question
this is some kind of anomaly or is it normal? Grin currently pass next week but more clam I not earn.

You got pretty lucky while staking only 14 clam. If you are using the Clam client, it will show you the estimate of how long it will take to stake. I would think it would average to over a month per clam stake at that amount.

I could be over thinking this greatly and do not in anyway understand how the Clam System works,
but maybe Whale Digger knows doing it this way (backwards) discloses what the total amount to be dug will be,
as well as when the digging will end, so that the market and users don't become totally disillusioned with CLAM?

It is like a controlled dig that is stabilizing, versus the random dig where no one knows how bad it could get.

That's possible, but wouldn't it make sense to dig only half of what he has available from each block so we think he has less left than he really does?

Of course, maybe that *is* what he's doing... we just can't tell.

Yes, its possible.
But frankly, I have no knowledge of how the Clam System works and what can or can not be done in general. I'm a layman.

I was just surprised we (by your data and graphs) can see the Whale Digger actually digging backwards. As if there was a plan.
Whether that is intentional, coincidence, or actually the functional design of the Clam Network digging process, I don't know.
I just found it interesting it wasn't more random.
