Those fuckers.

Well glad to see you stand behind your thoughts of free speech.  

I truly appreciate your dedication to freedom & everything else.  Millions of other people will as well in the future.  Smiley  

My bad!

I like the clamspeech function for this. You can send a message that will be stored for the life of CLAM (and beyond in the blockchain)

I think people should know the history behind sites like this, but CLAM is about freedom of speech.  Having a thread removed in regards to this is pretty much breath taking... this thread was supposed to only be self modded in order to keep people from trying to post fake CLAM clients  Lips sealed & spam.  I would hardly say the first post about a new service is anywhere near spam.

...

I do not believe enough investigation has been done against this company to have such strong opinion as to prevent my freedom of speech.  I think the CLAM community should support CLAM services regardless of what they are at this point.  

If people want to spend their internet pirate monies like that... who are we to stop them?

EDIT:

Though it is quite obviously a scam.

EDIT #2:

And I was quite honestly considering removing it myself Tongue
Chose not to; in the interest of non-censorship or what-not.

Has anyone else noticed a doubling of the time needed to mine a block since about the beginning of the month?

I was getting a block every three days, now it's more like six. So is it everyone or I just got unlucky?

It's funny you should mention this, because I plotted the network difficulty against time just a few hours ago. I was looking to see how my recent movement of >50% of the CLAMs from one wallet to another had affected things. "Not much" was the answer - it shows as a short dip to 22 on the right of the chart.

Anyway, here's the plot:



As you can see, it has been pretty stable for the last few months. It waves up and down several times a day, but the average doesn't appear to me to be increasing very quickly, and so I guess the increase in time between blocks you've noticed is mostly bad luck.

Do we really want to be associated with a site that claims to be able to pay 1% interest per hour simply by doing "trading and mining"? It's clearly a Ponzi, and so will inevitably fail.

Innocent until proven guilty in my opinion.

The problem is that as soon as they are proven guilty they will just register a new domain name, change the site design, and start again. I would be surprised if the people behind this scam weren't already "proven guilty" several times before, running almost exactly the same scam.

Just look at the numbers. They *guarantee* returns of 1% *per hour*. That's all the proof you need.

Just-Dice doesn't guarantee any kind of return. In fact we're very upfront about the fact that investors are bankrolling a casino. It's quite possible to suffer large losses if players get lucky.

I think people should know the history behind sites like this, but CLAM is about freedom of speech.  Having a thread removed in regards to this is pretty much breath taking... this thread was supposed to only be self modded in order to keep people from trying to post fake CLAM clients  Lips sealed & spam.  I would hardly say the first post about a new service is anywhere near spam.

Scammers are free to advertise their scams in the scammer section. This thread is for legitimate services. It does CLAM no good at all for people to get sucked in by a Ponzi scheme and lose all their CLAMs. The scammers will only dump their ill-gotten CLAMs anyway in the end.

Doog, you would not believe how many people when told or presented to Just-dice the first person think "Ponzi"?  Because even .5% a day is pretty cray cray... only through further investigation they find that it is legit.  I do not believe enough investigation has been done against this company to have such strong opinion as to prevent my freedom of speech.  I think the CLAM community should support CLAM services regardless of what they are at this point.  

If people think JD is a Ponzi, we can easily prove it isn't. We have a FAQ about it. We can prove solvency, we don't guarantee returns, it's very clear how returns are made. To compare JD with this obvious scam isn't fair. We have done enough investigation. They guarantee 1% per hour returns. That's all the investigation that is needed. We should not be supporting such deception. If they were up-front about it, told everyone they were a Ponzi, that it was a risky game to play, etc. then maybe that's OK. But to outright lie about it just isn't.

If people want to spend their internet pirate monies like that... who are we to stop them?

We can't stop them. I wouldn't want to stop them. I just don't want to be encouraging them to fall for a trick like this. This isn't a "service", it's a scam, pure and simple.

Clams has now been added to the CoinWallet.co online wallet service.

That's great news.

I'm wondering the same as BayAreaCoins:

What percentage of the staking reward do you give to your depositors?

Because each currency works off a single client wallet the system works the same as a personal wallet in terms of staking. This means staking rewards are assigned to initial transaction addresses and change addresses. So currently it is a bit of a lottery - but we do not withhold any percentage of the staking reward...

I have several ideas to improve this, so users always get 100% of their staked rewards. One way to do it is from the database, so any generated coins get split between all holders dependant on total percentage of mature coins they hold in the system at that point in time. The other is to move to a manual transaction system so change can always come back to the originating address and staking is assigned by address. Each method has its pros and cons. The first method would mean more of a staking 'pool' where all holders of X coin get a percentage of all staking rewards.

It's on the todo list.  Smiley

I like the staking pool idea also, will be nice to spread things around between coinwallet.co, justdice and my local wallet.

Hi I am new to the forums. However I am not new to bitcoin, programming, hacking, and the like.

I have forked freewil/node-bitcoin on github to create daxxog/node-clamcoin. I hope this will serve as an excelent tool for those interested in building nodejs based CLAM applications.

To install:
Code:
npm install clamcoin

Have any questions/suggestions? Shoot me a bitmessage: BM-2cXVhsskpZEkEdqM6SydRhSC3hwt3QCuJF

Want me to resize/crop it for you?

If you could I would probably love you forever Tongue

Thanks for the education, dooglus!  If you don't mind my following up, I understand from this that you generate a keypair, public and private:

1. pubA ,privA

Then your friends run vanitygen -P to search for a private key

2. vanitygen -P pubA --> privB

Then you somehow combine privB privA

3. doogCombine(privB, privA) --> privC

And privC is a valid private key to go along with pubA?  I'm sorry I'm so dense.  Of course if you don't want to get into the technical details here (perhaps it's too far afield) and you have some links to reading I should do instead, that would also be much appreciated.

See http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5965/what-does-it-mean-by-public-key-on-the-vanitygen-pool for example, or look at the 'vanity wallet' tab at bitaddress.org

I'm clearly misunderstanding something here.  Why would you move money into an address whose privkey was published publically?

When I asked for people to search for a privkey, I gave them the public half of a keypair I generated. They use that public key in the -P argument to vanitygen. They give the privkey that vanitygen finds, and I combine that with the privkey from the pair I generated to arrive at the real privkey for the address.

Without knowing my privkey the publicly published privkey is useless.
