So since just-dice stakes the majority of clams daily,  what happens if that staking stops?

How does it affect the network?  


2nd question is:

Sometimes my staking icon turns red,  like it stops staking..  I have mature coins though,  why is it doing this?
Note, i'm on v1.4.7  and sometimes I do get stakes.

Nice dooglus that you put it in terms of betting luck.

Staking is pretty much like betting, except you get your stake back whether you win or lose... it's a free lottery that you get to enter every 16 seconds.

One of the reasons for the message you're seeing is that transactions can't be bigger than 100kB in size. It seems unlikely that that is the problem unless you have hundreds of tiny outputs in your wallet from farming a faucet or something.

You're right this all come from seedtrue faucet and have many hundred transaction
I was try to send just 2 clam and that message still appear

i don't know what to do

max balance 1.7 clam was succeed sending

Well, each input to a transaction adds roughly 150 bytes to the transaction size, and transactions can be no bigger than 100k bytes.

100k / 150 = 666, so you're limited to about 666 inputs per transaction.

The biggest transactions to recently appear on the blockchain:

http://khashier.com/tx/610f97832734b598e59d94124e995f845fe6e1678cdf8435c65c5196eb097666
  654 inputs, 2 outputs, 96585 bytes

http://khashier.com/tx/16ac565c4c0e6840427dc6bc4b591152200216b1d1e0c623a599d3798435b2e6
  659 inputs, 2 outputs, 97324 bytes

http://khashier.com/tx/3f3dcdcbc958b46d2157b5d42c1596ead49fa1642fdb67f93943580e587d8901
  608 inputs, 1 output, 89765 bytes

I guess those were yours, and as you can see each is close to the 100kB limit. So that's why it was failing when you tried to send all your outputs in a single transaction.

I'm still waiting on a stake with my 9.24101359 CLAM

It fluctuates between 26 & 35 days for stake and has a constant weight of 9 that never changes, my wallet has been open since receiving them initially, does all this sound correct ?

It could take a month, two or even three before you stake one clam. Nothing to worry about.

everything is oke
but tell me why this happen

I think it means that you're trying to spend more than you have available when you add in the network fees.

Try spending 0.0001 less. And if that fails, 0.0001 less, etc.

I'll have that message be more specific about how much you're short in a future release.

After looking at the code, it appears that if that was the reason, it would have told you.

I've added debugging to the code so future releases will put the reason for the failure in the log at least.

One of the reasons for the message you're seeing is that transactions can't be bigger than 100kB in size. It seems unlikely that that is the problem unless you have hundreds of tiny outputs in your wallet from farming a faucet or something.

If you're willing to help me figure out what's going on, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Yes this is correct, also worth making sure you are getting enough connections to the wallet. If you are firewalled then port forward 31174.

How many CLAMs is good enough to keep up for staking?

The rate of staking is proportional to the number of CLAMs.

So twice as many is twice as good, but half as many is only half as good.

Simple as that Wink

Well, it was a silly question.

It seems my comment wasn't accepted. But FreeJack's comment was. He wrote: "Proof Of Shellfish". Such journalism.

Nice write-up. I have a few comments:

It's not all that new. It has been around since May 2014.

> which has been steadily rising ever since it was lauched

That's not really true. It only started rising in December. Before that the price was steadily falling, pretty much.

Well, again no. That sudden increase from $0 to $816k indicates the day that coinmarketcap started tracking the data. I have been trying to get them to include the historical data in their chart, even providing the data for them to use, but so far I've had no luck:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10379165

> something that reminded us of NXT network

CLAM is actually a distant descendant of Bitcoin (via Litecoin, Peercoin, Blackcoin, and probably more). NXT is its own thing, unrelated to Bitcoin, although it is proof-of-stake which may be why it reminded you of CLAM.

> small exchanges, which include Poloniex, Yacuna and most notable Cryptsy

While Cryptsy is the biggest exchange listing CLAM, almost all the trading happens on Poloniex. Probably because they were the first to add a CLAM/BTC market.

If I may be so rude as to include a little ad, Just-Dice.com started accepting CLAM when the price started shooting upwards in December. CLAM is the only currency Just-Dice accepts. The site stakes the CLAMs it holds on users' behalf and distributes the staking profits between them (after taking a cut, of course!)

All of the above plus,  He didn't really get into the digging aspect of clams either.  The fact that most users already own them,  Etc.... 

Just goes to show there is plenty more teaching to be done. Smiley

Here's some of the debugging info... does "fail" mean it simply didn't find a suitable result that round, or that there's some issue?

The "fail" just means it failed to stake that time.

Both your outputs are trying to stake:

The only time it's showing PASS is when a network block arrives... I presume that's because the debug info is printed in AcceptBlock() (or whatever it's called).

Right. The same logic is used to check other people's blocks as to check your potential blocks.

Edit: I reworked a bunch of this post because I realised I had some stuff wrong.

Also, I notice that your 98 CLAM output was created on 7th February - just 11 days ago. Maybe you had a similar amount before and were just moving things around, but note that each time you move an output it stops trying to stake for 4 hours.
