Topic: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin" - page 325. (Read 1151252 times)

try to do on Bittrex. couple days ago i bought and withdraw to my wallet withaout problem. but buy/sell activity is low.

Well my question is where can I buy CLAM and withdraw with no problems?

Another thing you could do would be to copy the app's data (on android, usually in something like /data/com.packagename.dogewalletname/) and start going through it manually.

Another idea, maybe you can generate a qr image of your address (a lot of mobile wallets have that).

Overall I find Cryptsy pretty good but back in May it took me about a week to get my CLAM out, got there eventually.

Bought CLAM on Cryptsy and after 20 hours still waiting for my withdraw. I be willing to say they don't have them to sell, and that is why I'm having a hard time with my withdraw.

*** WARNING *** Don't Buy CLAM at Cryptsy !!!!

Uggghhh I can't get my address off the phone,  I can't see it.

The wallet keeps saying "Dogecoin wallet has stopped working" when I try to edit to see the whole address

Maybe I should just forget trying to get clams from that.

It still might be worth it to see if you have any clams in one of your "non-change" addresses before you go through the hassle.  Depending on your wallet software, you may be able to print a list of all your addresses and what their balances are (akin to listreceivedbyaddress in bitcoind-RPC).  If I were you, I'd assure myself there's at least some clams to be gotten, then I'd go about figuring out how to do the wallet import into the clam client (if it turns out yu have more than one address to claim from).

EDIT: some wallets, espcially mobile ones from a while ago actually use the sending address as the change address (not as common now that HD wallets are here) so you may actually only have the addresses you manually generated.

So how do I get the wallet off my phone and do that? 

Do I have to file transfer from the phone somehow?

If its written in php then there are certain libraries that can create images out of text and such things. Its widely used with typo3, the cms, and it creates nice images. Im not sure what you will use it for but these things exist. Though they are rather big and they have a learning curve. At the end it will be easy.

I hate to repeat myself - but, this is an important concept that users utilizing individual address check/claim systems need to understand:

Bitcoin based systems do not work like the vast majority of people believe.

Coins are stored on chain in what are called "outputs". 
Every single time that a transaction is sent, the TOTAL value of every involved output must be accounted for - this is important.
This most often results in what are called "change" addresses.

Essentially, your wallet software sends the remainder of any output not entirely "used" by the transaction to a new address.
This address is not an address that you manually created and is controlled by a private key which you likely do not even know that your wallet controls.

What does this mean for users attempting to claim distribution CLAMs?

If you are one of the few users who understand how "change" addresses function and are capable of ensuring that you check and claim every single key that could possibly control CLAMs, nothing.

However, most users are very likely to find that claiming the entire wallet (which automatically checks all keys, including "change" address controlling keys) results in a larger amount of CLAMs claimed.
This is accomplished by importing the wallet into the CLAM client directly.

I think you can start by verifying that your DOGE address(es) were funded using the Just-Dice chat.  I assume it works for any BTC,LTC,or DOGE address. 

1) got to just-dice.com
2) write in the chat "/dig YOURDOGEADDRESS"

That should print a message about whether or not your address was funded.  If it was funded, you can then see about extracting your private key from that app, if it wasn't funded, then you don't have to bother with it.

Added the newest client version 1.4.15 to the OP post.

I think there is a way to back it up and export but I don't know how

Is there only one DOGE wallet for Android? What's it called? Does it have some way of backing up the wallet or exporting the private keys?

Can someone point me to a SIMPLE step by step how to claim clams from my ANDROID Doge wallet (on my phone)?

Edit:
Or was an Android wallet even out when clams were distributed??   Maybe I don't have any clams from that phone wallet?

Thanks in advance...  I can't seem to find an easy way to do this.  
 

"Beta" is kind of an arbitrary designation. The older versions have been around for longer, and so are less likely to contain surprises. The newer versions have more features and bug fixes, but potentially new bugs too.

There's a high-level list of the differences between each version here. But briefly:

v1.4.12 fixed a problem that several exchanges encountered, where if you have a lot of people sending tiny 'faucet' deposits to your wallet, you can end up with so much 'dust' that you can't make transactions any more. Tiny outputs cost more in fees to spend than they are worth, which caused a problem that this version fixed.

v1.4.13 and v1.4.14 didn't add much of any importance.

v1.4.15 updates the list of seed nodes. So if you're having trouble finding peers to connect to, that might help you. It also fixes a bug that prevented the RPC interface working on Windows, and adds code to ban misbehaving peers - so if you have a peer that is re-downloading the same blocks from you over and over and wasting your bandwidth, you might want to upgrade.

I'll be tagging v1.4.16 in the next day or two, which will use dynamic seeds that will always provide fresh peer addresses rather than using a hardcoded list of peers.

I would recommend using the newest version you can at the moment. I really don't think any of the recent changes will have introduced new problems.

Really the advantages would either be in:

1) some critical fix that's in the new version
2) some new features

If you're not suffering from an issue in the old client that's fixed in the new version and you're not chomping at the bit to try out the new features (described in just the preceding posts) then you're probably not going to be in a rush to upgrade.

The pros are clearly the new features.  The cons are the risk that the less tested betas won't work right on your setup.  I don't think we can tell you how to balance those things for your personal goals, you'll have to figure them out yourself, right?

Is there an advantage to running the beta versions? 

Running Mac 1.4.11 now.  Hesitant to update.  Pros - Cons? 

Thanks!

No, the whole output will go to the specified address, but now I've added another new flag, -rewardto=ADDR, which sends just the block reward to the specified address:

See this transaction for instance. It was staked with:

  rewardto=xJDCLAMZSGaTadAzcS7tcVNTa46qCr6j2s                                                                                                  
  staketo=xJDCLAMZkcp7fQ3ieHfZA4SLu3aTy2Y1mr                                                                                        

So the reward goes to one address and the rest goes to a different address, and both are different than the address which is staking.

It will be in the next release of the client, v1.4.16.

There's nothing much you need to do other than making sure your client is fully synced with the blockchain. If you're having trouble with that, my post here links to a bootstrap file that will help.

For better staking efficiency you can split your outputs up into pieces of around 10 CLAMs each, but the wallet will do that for you automatically in time anyway.
