That's cool. Let me know if you need any help checking facts or running a spell checker.

im planning to make a post about CLAMS on http://fuk.io

That's all right except the last line. Don't email me. I am regularly manually crediting deposits people make to old deposit addresses.

But you should go to JD and click the 'deposit' button to get a new deposit address if you're using an old one.

Edit: in the last day or so there have been 247 tiny deposits to old deposit addresses. I just moved them over to the new wallet:

I wish faucets could somehow accumulate user balances and only allow withdrawals when they are of a significant value, because otherwise it costs the recipient more than the value of the withdrawal to spend it.

I own www.ClamcoinFaucets, www.FreeClam.com and www.FreeClamco.in.

They for sure still work with JD deposits.

Is it possible you are withdraw to your old JD address.  Please visit JD and get a new address.

Doog changed wallets the other day in order to keep shit moving fast.

Email doog if you were withdrawing to a old address and he will fix it for you.

I cant receive any  clams from faucet to my just-dice address?  Whats going on?  It used to be working fine before

I have never done it before, but I am confident that I can figure it out from those instructions. Thank you very much!

So it turns out there are two different formats for the backups from the Android "Bitcoin Wallet" app, as described in the above link.

The old format is easy enough - you decrypt it using something like:


and get to the WIF privkeys directly.

But the new format is messier. You decrypt it in the same way, but it gives you the wallet backup in "protobuf" format, which seems to need you to download an ugly mess of Java libraries to decode. I don't want to install that stuff, so how else to proceed?

Looking at the protobuf backup in a text editor, I see it starts like this:



Notice the 12 words in the middle there? That's the BIP32 mnenomic for the wallet - and that's all we need.

Copy the 12 words, paste them into https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/, go to the BIP32 tab, put "m/0'/0" into the "BIP32 Derivation Path" field, and there are all your receiving private keys. Then put "m/0'/1" in the same box and see all your change address private keys. You can toggle off the paths and addresses, generate as many as you need, then copy/paste them into a text file for importing into the CLAM wallet.

Here's a screenshot of the Android wallet, showing my receiving addresses:



and here's a screenshot of the dcpos bip39 page showing the same addresses along with the private keys:



Note that if you put "m/0'" into the "BIP32 Derivation Path" field, it shows you the same xpub string that the Android wallet app shows you when you go to "Settings>Diagnostics>Show xpub".
By reading this post you agree to send a mandatory donation ransom of 1 CLAM to xDoogLusZTyYF45mwy3BwNp2rnGCmV2R9j.

I use the clamd daemon to get the stats about the moneysupply. Every block has a record of the totals when that block was accepted into the chain.

I use a script like this to dump the data into a file (where cc is an alias for 'clamd'):


It fetches details for the blocks which were staked since I last ran it, so I don't have to repeat work I already did on old blocks.

Does that help?

Doogs a fucking rock star no doubt.  

Right on, that is why this community rocks!

I like these charts and interesting datasets , is there a way to produce them myself?

Ah wonderful.

Aye Captain 

It looks like the information is already available for free. The author didn't decide to hold this knowledge hostage:

  https://github.com/schildbach/bitcoin-wallet/blob/master/wallet/README.recover

No, screw that guy. CLAM is open source. I spend many hours contributing to improve it any way I can. The developers pre-mined and distributed all the CLAMs to everyone for free, but this guy wants us to pay him for working out how to convert private keys from one format to another? Something that he was going to do for himself anyway.

I'll figure it out for myself and publish it for free. Don't you dare pay him anything for it.

The CLAM website is live-compiled from open source and accepting contributions/pull requests.
https://github.com/nochowderforyou/nochowderforyou.github.io

I might recommend a new page stemming from:
https://github.com/nochowderforyou/nochowderforyou.github.io/tree/master/learn/import

Pages on the site are little more than simple markdown syntax.

Users utilizing the information might be quite willing to say "thank you" for the help.
You could write a guide and place your donation address at the bottom of the guide.

Sure thing Graham!

I included the other source of new CLAMs too: staking:

Thanks BayAreaCoins

Well, let me explain, a while back when mining LTC was really hard to do in Windows I did a guide to it.
A lot of people used it, and I got about ~ 0.12 LTC  in donations when the LTC was below 1 usd, also gave
a way to register with the best pool that was closed to new miners (That mining pool is dead now, so I can say it. xD)

So, gathering the info, creating the guide, trying several methods consume a lot of time, and I believe in retribution
for the work.

So, if SuperClam wants to scrow a bunty for this it will be awesome.

Other way to do it, is sending me the backup wallets, after moving all the BTC and DOGE from them for a %, but I like the first option more.

So, let me know.

Cheers

Why is blockchain download so slow?
I have been syncing for 3 days, and still 4 weeks of blocks left. It's really a pain in the ***.

It tried the addnodes of the OP, and closed all other clients that are taking bandwith, but it hardly helps.
