console
importprivkey 5xyzyourkeyxxxxx


But what surprises me, there is no one who can prove that the private keys are safe?
There must be someone who can explain that and why the keys are secure.
There has to be a fact that exists or not.
Where is the explanation?

Hi!

Trying to import an old multibit wallet using the following steps,

Download the CLAM Client, below.
Open MultiBit.
Click Tools -> Export Private Keys.
Select "Do not password protect export file".
Enter your wallet password, if any.
Click "Export Private Keys".
Find the multbit.key file (or whatever you named to exported keys).
Copy it into the folder where you have the clam-qt.exe file.
Open the CLAM Client.
Click Help -> Debug window.
Select the "Console" Tab.
Type: importwallet multibit.key (or whatever you named to exported keys).
Enjoy your CLAMS

This gets me a "CDB : Error 2, can't open database (code -1)" message in the console.


is there an easy way to convert the .wallet file to a .dat file? Or is there another way to import a .wallet (or .key) file directly?

sorry if this is an old question, I'm new to CLAM. 

Chillax Guys while debate is good thing, there is a fine line that's best left uncrossed where it starts to look like an argument and losses focus.

I've been watching this thread for months and I can speak no evil of Superclam or dooglus. Clams has been and continues to be an interesting and exciting experiment. Any how that's my 2 cents worth love to all.

Jon

He was a developer and he exploited CLAM. I even through in the bit that I don't think Xploited and yourself where in bed with him on it, but I can't prove you weren't.


Where have I said the clam client is untrustworthy?? I just understand that people are sick of downloading wallet after wallet.

I don't think I even called it shady either...  I called it a private key sniffing wallet.  Which I stand by.  

CLAM needs 7 mega services to decentralize properly IMO.  Not every dipshit altcoiner in dipshit altcoin land running a CLAM wallet.  That's a wasteful.


Timing eh?  That lined up pretty perfectly I can't lie.



I have no clue what that means, but this is what I honestly lay in bed worrying about.  It's probably because I take my tin foil hat off to sleep, but o well!  The partners of Clamcoin.org owned roughly 10% of all the CLAMS in existence up until not long ago... so of course I worried.  

dooglus tracked down rat4, the perpetrator; but, I believe either xploited or tryphe noticed the exploit.

Regardless, rat4 has never been a developer on the CLAM project.
rat4 develop(s?ed?)  for Blackcoin - an entirely different project upstream of our code base.

Be clear in your accusations and wording.

"CLAM's history of being exploited by developers is worrisome."
This insinuates that the people who donate time to work on the CLAM project are involved in your "exploitations".

That is not the case.

Further, I think this is all a bit disingenuous on your part.
You claim to value decentralization; yet you worked tirelessly to express your opinion that the client was untrustworthy - despite volumes of evidence to the contrary. 
You spent hours recommending that users use the very service that currently controls the largest stake weight to insulate themselves from the "shady" client.
The same "shady" client which makes up the backbone of the CLAM network and indeed represents the very software needed to create the decentralization you supposedly seek.

---

More importantly, you now rail against "developer exploitation", in the middle of a disagreement over your desire to earn advertising dollars.
I think it is not a coincidence that you fail to mention this "developer" manages an entirely different project.
Even worse, you condemn the "thousands" of CLAM staked during the short window of the exploit, despite the fact that those coins were apparently dumped during the time in which you accrued your personal share of CLAM - and proceeded to profit quite significantly from the same.

---

I think everyone, including me, likes you BAC.
You've worked hard promoting CLAM and consistently been an evangelist for the project.
That work has been priceless and is greatly appreciated.

However, shame on you for the ad hominem attacks and disingenuous concern.

I wish you would stop slapping babies in pursuit of a dime, and come back into the fold.

The CLAM project could use you.

I know you aren't perfect and I really do think you try Xploited however that doesn't mean your system didn't get gamed by a person very high up the ladder.  I'm not being misleading & ya it's slightly worrisome... to me this seems misleading:

Surely to god Creative is aware that tens of thousands of CLAMS were gamed through a lottery system that dooglus spotted and pushed for a fix.  Why would she not be aware of such things?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not perfect.

None of this is new news.

Clams have always been experimental.. though due to increased community and associated value we greatly limit the experimental ideas. Some things work out some things don't, the lottery was a case of the latter. To suggest it represents a worrisome history of exploitation is a little misleading coming from you imo.

We (the developers) never claimed to be perfect, In fact I'm sure you can find multiple posts we suggest were not and ask for help.

We are however all very passionate about technology and cryptocurrency and most especially clams.
 

A: Your the one who brought up a fork in our skype conversation that we had.  I prepared myself for it and wanted to help make any transition for JD users/players as easy as possible IF EVER it happened (plan for the worse and hope for the best.)  

B:  The Rat blackcoin developer.  Didn't CLAM used to have a lotto mining structure rather than this consistent 1 CLAM reward?  

Anyways lets just let this die.  Obviously Clamcoin.org isn't an option.  I intend on continuing to promote it.

Would appreciate being recognized as the official fan site too !  

A conversation was started about decentralization.

I believe your response was "dooglus fork" (which, unless I am mistaken, he never suggested or supported).

---

CLAM has a history of being exploited by developers?
Funny, you would think I would be aware of such things.

Nothing personal to you, but I originally bought these sites just in case the Coin needed to rebrand and follow a Dooglus fork.

CLAM's history of being exploited by developers is worrisome. (I do believe you and xploited though)

Decentralization... the more fans the merry in my opinion.

Your welcome have a nice night and good luck with the site of course.  

It would be great for Clamcoin.org to be the official fan site We did link you and linking back is kind of the kind thing to do.

"Hacking" isn't the concern - though it is of course always possible.
You are suggesting that you be trusted with control over the domain and content of the source of the reference client.
The answer is "no".

Nothing personal.

Thank you for linking to reference client appropriately - it is appreciated.

---

I don't view it as my job to "teach" people to download from the OP properly.
In fact, I would recommend that users download the client from the official web site, and not the OP (though it links there).

I understand you are concerned. 
You've voiced that opinion multiple times.
Please feel free to start your own un-moderated CLAM thread.

Thanks BAC
Will add it to the OP post.

The site shows links to the blockchain of payments.


MyFreeClams.com got redded on Clamcoinfaucets.com the other day.  If anyone is interested in purchasing MyFreeClams.com the owner has said I can talk #'s with whoever.

Well lets point Clamclient.com @ Clamcoin.org and skip all the fuss.  We can do what we need to do in order to make her nice and secure.  As of right my fan site uses the clamclient download which should be plenty secure. (hack it if not)


W/e I hate it.  Your pointing the gun and saying you won't shoot!  Easier and better to teach people to download from the OP properly than trusting random shit they stumble across on the web/in the forum.  Also, Bitcointalk will removed stuff like that. I just see it as a power grab... it's concerning to a tin foil hat person like me.

If shit gets removed by a BTCT mod the people hate them and not the person removing it. See how much BS Adam catches on the Bitcoin speculation thread lol.

Edit:

I'm happy to share my vision of Clamcoin.org & we can just agree to disagree about the self modded thread... Not trying to start any grief.  United we stand divided we fall!

Can anyone confirm that they have been using this faucet, and it has been paying out?

Despite your tin-foil hat, no one has intended to make you feel "murky" or frowned upon, BAC.

You own a fan-site.  That is appreciated.
It is not the "official" site.  That is important.

No one involved with CLAM has any incentive to "push" the official web site.
In fact, I think everyone involved, including garthkiser, would just assume hand it over to someone else.

Why all this "official" stuff then?
Security and trust are important facets of CLAM.
This is especially important for CLAM - given the inevitable set of users which will import addresses which still control BTC, LTC and DOGE.
We consistently recommend that users empty public keys before claiming; some will almost certainly not do so.

You know how to read - read the thread.
If this thread was in the habit of "censoring" communications it would be half as long as it is now.

Thanks garth!

That seems to be the consensus.
Content has been being moved over to a development server over the last couple days.
The web site will not be a single-page scroll down, but will include a new user "landing" page that is very similar.

Working on pulling in some API's at the moment, so that it is useful for more than just download links.

Anyone have an opinion of the following nodejs BB?

EDIT: typo.

Clamcoin.com was for sale through Sedo.  They tried to charge me for nothing so I sent them a picture of a freshly minted Buttcoin... Now their buy button doesn't work.

I think it'd be a really good domain.  Only for a few hundred dollars (I don't own it.)

Access to domains and servers for the next-generation CLAMs website is simply a security issue, nothing more or less. It makes the most sense at this time for the most senior CLAM developers to hold those keys.

CLAMclient.com is seen as not very marketable, and the owner of CLAMcoin.org wants to keep control, so let's just explore other options.

Neither of the existing two names really describes the current vision of the project, which is much more than just a client or a coin. It's the blockchain, baby

Probably not going to just turn over my domain. That seems a bit silly and I want to have my say in how the site is developed. I would be interested in leasing it for a fair amount.

It's really hard for me to encourage Dandi to work further on the project without the site earning anything to reward him with.  The tasteful ads on the site are to reward dandi and I for our work... We haven't received a SINGLE tip from ANY of "you" dispute our positive work on the CLAM project.  Instead you frown on more than one site up & call it "unofficial"... lol  

Put y'alls money where your mouth is.  Let's pay dandi $20 an hour to work on this fucker and I'll donate my time for a site vision/consultant.  I bet we can make something pretty cool.

Let's encourage people to work on CLAM. Not make them feel murky/unofficial for trying to be apart of the project.  I also think this thread shouldn't be self modded. That needs to change.

I just sent them a message, and have also done so multiple times with other sites that list the "wrong" website. Attempts to make clamcoin.org the "official" website were unsuccessful. There has been recent talk of a bounty for a new custom website. When this happens, hopefully all CLAM websites will redirect to it. As for what the official domain is going to be, for the sake of unity, I think everybody has gotten over their problems with the name CLAMcoin. But other problems with that site do remain. I think bayareacoins owns that domain. If this issue is finally going to be solved, then the easiest way to do that would simply be for bayareacoins to transfer the domain to one of the original two developers, xploited or creativecuriousity, then they can work with bounty-hired web developer to build upon it.
