I need a new CLAM address for the Just-Dice bankroll.
The previous one I was using was xJDCLAMZ9rQ11tMf7JUw1Zzvjm5ShkryrU and I would like the new one to start with the same 8 characters, all uppercase except of course for the 'x':
xJDCLAMZ
I'm offering a 100 CLAM bounty for the first person to generate such an address for me. You can generate addresses using vanitygen (https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git). You need to patch it to work with CLAM: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8875631
And so that the private key stays private, you need to run vanitygen with these flags (the -P in particular is the one that makes is safe):

I think the "staking pool" way is the obvious way to go. It lowers variance for everyone. Instead of waiting 8-12 days to stake 1 CLAM, I stake 0.1 CLAMs per day and have a much more regular predictable income.
Working on it now, should be ready in a couple of days.

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.

Just-Dice does a similar thing for its investors, but takes 10% of the rewards as a fee and so should be easy enough to compete with. Then again JD doesn't charge a (significant) fee for withdrawals.

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.

It's on the todo list.

I made an updated bootstrap.dat file for people having trouble syncing their client.
It goes up to block 419140 which was staked on Sat Apr 11 02:15:12 2015 UTC.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap.dat
or
https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap.dat?torrent if you want to download it using BitTorrent.
Download it, put it into the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat, then restart the client.
It will take a while to import it, but it will be a lot faster than trying to sync using the p2p network.
When it is done, the client will rename the file to bootstrap.dat.old and won't look at it again.
Once it has been renamed you can delete it if you like.
To verify that you have the right file:
$ sha256sum bootstrap.dat
90be19e7d39a8620be2f62726736f55a19857b7306ceeed6440de72d354fe89b bootstrap.dat

Just confirmed the hash myself...
Code:
me@XX:~$ clamd dumpbootstrap ~/bootstrap.dat 419140
me@XX:~$ sha256sum bootstrap.dat
90be19e7d39a8620be2f62726736f55a19857b7306ceeed6440de72d354fe89b bootstrap.dat
Thanks.
I don't think there's much an evil actor could do to you by crafting a "wrong" bootstrap.dat file. You would download it, the client would import it and either find that it was valid or it wasn't. He couldn't just change random bytes to give himself more coins, because then the blocks wouldn't validate. He could stake his own separate fork of the chain and upload it as a bootstrap.dat, but if it didn't have a higher cumulative difficulty than the chain on the rest of the network it would quickly be replaced by your client.
But it's good to have confirmation anyway.
Dooglus - you do not suffer from "trust issues" here but thought I would confirm it for fun

Dadice recently adopted CLAM deposits, but Im afraid they sell the CLAMs right away and buy BTC for them. Not entirely sure, I still didnt ask. Its certainly not possible to play with CLAM directly. Might be an indicator for more casinos adopting CLAM though, which would in turn increase its usefulness and thus possibly the price.
I'm not sure whether that's a good thing for CLAM or not if they "accept" CLAM but immediately sell them.
Kind of like people getting excited about merchant adoption of BTC when it reality the merchant uses BitPay or similar to instantly convert the "accepted" BTC into USD.
I guess overall it just gets the brand out there to more people, so I guess it's a net positive for CLAM.
who cares about them buying 100,000 clam(offsite)
then sell for btc 3 seconds later. clam total Rev. genenated just went up $167,784 from that
let clam grow dooglus
April 09, 2015, 09:28:30 PM
havent been on here in a while, whats a good block size? and how much clams should i expect a day if i had 1 BTC worth?
thanks!
thanks!
10 is a good size for staking. Unless you don't have more than 100, in which case go smaller.
You can expect about 0.2% per day. So 0.002 BTC worth per day.

I think clams distrubution is a real cool thing to do. Now I search my old wallets!

The whole on-line wallet thing scares the crap out of me!!
I guess if you're using it only for small amounts that you can afford to lose then it can be OK. You're trading security for convenience, which isn't bad so long as you understand the risks.
After losing much crypto on exchanges, I don't even like leaving a balance on exchanges!!!
