Good eye as always Doog.

I watched some folks get pwned the other day on a coin I was helping do the escrow on.

Here is an example of why not to DL from anything besides the OP.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11351856

Also, OP still links to:

  CLAMs v. 1.4.10 TEST-Build

and

  CLAMs v. 1.4.7 STABLE

It's going to be impossible for people to guess which of 1.4.7 (stable), 1.4.10 (test), or 1.4.11 (unlabelled) to download.

People should always download from the OP just to be safe FYI!

Nice.

Which commit was this built from? We should move the release tag, since it's almost certainly currently in the wrong place.

All very true.  Although I would never store a large amount of coins on a single coin regardless of the method.  Most people dont load them with any but just like to have a physical wallet with a certain coin as a novelty.

Yep, the buyer would need to trust the coin seller with all their funds as the seller would have access to the keys. Seems way too dangerous unless the address/key is generated using a partial private key similar to what vanitygen allows. This would also mean that coins need to be made to-order though, but would greatly increase the security.

Great questions.  As for the choice; right now there are a lot of coin makers producing coins for Bitcoin, Litecoin and Doge (Casascius- not in production anymore, Lealana-Beautiful coins none the less, etc).  What you can't find are physical coins for the next tier of crypto currencies such as CLAMS, Coin2, ShadowCash, etc.  I wanted to be able for other communities to have an opportunity to buy a physical coin of the altcoin they support as well.  Hopefully my line will offer that.  As far as how they work, yes for this line there is an address engraved on the back of the coin, with the pairing security key under a tamper proof hologram security sticker (the preferred choice of security from all of the coin manufacturers).  You can load the coin and then when you want to redeem it, simply peel the sticker off, take the private code and load into your wallet.  The sticker leaves remnants on the coin and the sticker is unusable at that point so you know if one has been redeemed or not.  A great way to have something tangible of the coin you support.  CLAMS was chosen as part of my initial series of coins and figured I would offer it to people here on this forum before they sold out elsewhere.  If you have anymore questions just let me know, thanks for your interest.

Doesn't that just add another choice for people? I don't get it.

I'm not overly familiar with how these things work. Do you put one of your private keys under the security sticker? Is that safe?

I guess buyers would have to trust you with their savings if they intend to fund the coins.

Here are some pictures of my coins.  These were taken from a cell phone and not with a high quality camera so they are not the best, and do the coins no justice.  I figured its better to at least have these up until I can get some better pictures posted.  Some of the pictures are upside down.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to PM me.

I’m proud to announce the sale of my first series of physical coins…..Genesis Coin
I have chosen Clams to be part of the first series of my physical coin line
-   The idea: I was looking for physical coins, other than the more well known coins (i.e. Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.) and saw that there weren’t many choices out there if any at all. There are many companies minting physical Bitcoins and I did not want to add just another choice for people. So I went out and created a brand new line of coins to compliment the current market.  So what I am bringing to the market is a line of coins, which I call Genesis Coin, which in my first series of coins will represent 12 different coins with a total production run of 300. 

-   Coins and mintage:  As I’ve stated there are a total of 300 coins in Series 1 of my line spread across 12 different crypto coins, as follows (Coin and total amount minted):
Bitcoin - 10
Litecoin - 10
Dogecoin – 10
Coin2 – 30
Hyper – 30
Peercoin – 30
Namecoin – 30
ShadowCash – 30
DNotes – 30
Darkcoin – 30
Reddcoin – 30
Clams – 30
-   Coin Design: Because of the large cost to minting a short run of coins, each coin will have the same generic design.  The design on side one – will have the word Genesis right in the middle, with a circle surrounding the word.  On top of Genesis will be six dates and below will be six dates.  Each one of those dates corresponds to the genesis block creation date for each one of the 12 coins in series one.  On the outside rim will be the names of all 12 coins represented.  On the bottom right will be the date 2015 to correspond to the mint date.  Opposite on the left side will be a serialized engraving of the number coin it is.  And on the bottom center will be the coin’s name that it is engraved into the coin.  On side 2 will be a full address on the top rim that will be specific to the coin that is engraved on side one.  In the center will be a security sticker in a recessed area that will cover the printout of the full security key that pairs with the address engraved above it.  The security sticker has my companys name that lights up under UV lighting. The coin is 1.5” in diameter and is made from copper/brass alloy.  Each coin will be serialized 1-10 or 1-30 depending on which coin you get.  Every coin serialized 1-10 will be gold plated (for all 12 coins), and every coin serialized 11-30 will be silver plated (for the 9 coins excluding; Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin as they only have 10 each produced).  There will be black accents throughout the coin for contrast from the silver or gold plating.  So yes there are only ‘10’ Genesis Series 1 Bitcoins that will be produced.  Again I’m looking to compliment the current market.
-   THE TWIST……
-   Distribution:  So as an avid collector of many things throughout my life, I wanted to change the current distribution method of attaining these coins.  As a kid I grew up collecting sports cards, buying many, many packs of cards to try to get the cards/players that I wanted.  So what I have chosen to do was to employ the same type of distribution method.  For every coin serialized 1-15 and 26-30 will be packaged up into “packs” and for the coins serialized 16-25 they will be available for direct sale.  Each coin headed into packs, has been put into a non-see through white package and a Genesis sticker placed on the front of the package,  everyone of them packaged the same.  So what that means is that the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoins are only attainable via buying a pack and landing the coin.  The other coins will each have 10 available for sale and the other 20 placed into packs as well.  So for Series one there will be 85 coins directly for sale and 210 “packs” available for sale.  That leaves 5 unaccounted for; 1 I will be shipping off a pack to a member here at BCT, Elianite, for his review.  It will be a non premium coin (coins serialized only to 10).  The other 4 I am keeping for my own collection, again none of them are premium coins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.).  I will be keeping 1 of each- Coin2, Hyper, Darkcoin, and Reddcoin.  Every coin individually for sale and in the packs will be placed in a plastic coin capsule.
-   Cost: $15 per individual coin or pack.
-   Payment:  I will ONLY accept Bitcoin as of this time.  I will not accept Paypal under any circumstance, (learned the hard way they don’t like anything to do with digital currencies).  Hopefully in the near future I will accept other coins including yours, but not as of now.
-   Preorder: None.  Coins are minted, in hand, packaged and ready to ship.
-   Shipping:  I will be shipping from The United States in New Jersey.  I will be using USPS for all sales.  For shipping within the lower 48 states, tracked shipping will be $6, and most international shipping will be $16 using tracked registered USPS mail (please pm me with the country you would like them shipped to, to confirm).  Those quotes are for 1 coin or pack.  For multiple coins or packs please pm me for a quote.  I will be making shipments every Wednesday and Saturday.
-   Escrow: Of Course, We can discuss who will provide escrow services, but ultimately I will have to approve and will only utilize a reputable escrow service from a member here on bitcointalk who has provided multiple transactions without issues (i.e. OGNasty).
-   Terms of Service:  All sales are final and before purchasing understand this.  As with any coins that have been made, there is a possibility of counterfeits that pop up.  I cannot be responsible for anyone purchasing Genesis coins from anyone other than myself, unless I approve them as a reseller. 
-   Disclaimer: There are a couple of known manufacturing errors that were discovered after receipt and my verification process:
o   3 coins (Bitcoin ser #2, Coin2 ser #2 and Peercoin ser #9) have the serial number and their name engraved upside down
o   All Shadowcash coins ser# 1-30 have been engraved with the name Shadowcoin instead of ShadowCash

I told myself, for my series #1, if there are any discrepancies (other than address) that are minted wrong that I will be keeping them as is.  I wanted a true representation of the first set of my coins.  With my future series, these will be sent back for rework prior to release.  It was more than I thought would come out, but it is what it is, and I’m sticking with the true first mint as is.

****Please be vigilant against posts claiming to be me, wheelz1200, with different user names.  Don’t fall for the silly wheelz120O or whee1z1200.  Please pm me if you would like to verify before purchasing, do not reply to any of these fakes.  I cannot refund anyone who has sent payment to a fake account.  I would like to ask the community as well, to report any of these attempts to myself via this post as well as any administrator.

Please make payment to this address and this address only. I will never ask you via pm to pay to another address.  If I need to change address payments I will broadcast that here on this post, Bitcoin address for payment: 14tjZChqkvuufWZfUJTZndkrxwEB4f45QH

If you have any questions feel free to PM me as I wont be able to get to every thread and might miss your question.  Thank you

Just a friendly reminder:

---

- Change your password here at BitcoinTalk.org after the recent security breach.
- Never use the same password at multiple places, if you did change it now.

Thanks.

Did you see my previous reply to you? Neither the linking of outputs to the transactions that spend them nor the responsive layout appears fixed yet.

Done. Let me know if you want any other addresses labeled.

- Added blocktree.io to the OP post.

It seems like I wasn't exaggerating when saying that CLAMS are essentially equivalent to Just Dice stock shares.

I see you labelled the burn address with a comment.

Are you able to label other addresses?

If so, you could label all of the top 4 addresses:

And if you aren't, you can go to just-dice.com and type /supply in the chat box. It will tell you lots of information. The part in bold is what you are asking for:


Edit: note how in the 4 hours since Garth posted his numbers the "digsupply" has gone up by about 5 (the JD numbers are rounded) - a single distribution output was claimed in the last 4 hours.

^{"moneysupply" : 15146899.13048927,
    "digsupply" : 317467.88052542,
    "stakesupply" : 372497.72641731,
    "activesupply" : 689965.60694273,}

So 317,467 have been dug from the initial distribution. 372,497 have been staked. The total active supply is 689,965.

Assuming you are using the QT client, you can get this info in real-time by opening a debug window and entering "getinfo".

Can we know how many CLAM have been claimed relative to the total (potential) supply?
