May I ask you what are the requirements to mint with PoS? I read that the funds should be about 8 hours old, but I didn't catch if there is a minimum amount to have in an address to be able to stake a block.

Thank you
No minimum, in fact, you can mint with 0 coins if I've got my head around the concept.

To be safe, have one [coin].

You can't stake any blocks if you have 0 coins. Your chance of staking is proportional to the number of coins you have staking.

Coins can't stake if they (1) have been involved in a transaction in the last 4 hours or (2) have staked in the last 500 blocks.

The network difficulty adjusts to try to keep the whole network staking 1 block per minute. So if there are 400k CLAMs currently trying to stake, each 1 CLAM has a 1 in 400k chance of staking in any given minute. Roughly.
I see. I think I was fooled by the estimated staking time while having zero coins being an extremely high number of days, but not nil, if you get my meaning.

Is there a multipool for CLAM that I can direct our mining comrades to?

I think this could be helpful for stimulating the CLAM economy in a positive way.

Ya, I had a similar problem with my Clam Mac Client.  For me, it saw the Clams on restart, however as I was on support chat with Clam tech, he said "Rescan".  But alas, I found a hefty amount of Clam and I need not rescan.  It's worth it. 

I actually mined 5 coins since that time.  Having missed out on the mining phase of crypto so last year, finding an extra coin in my client in the morning is quite rewarding! 

Glad to hear you like Clam and the Mac client. It will be officially released soon.

The part that i'm confused about is the trust part since it looks like you don't do a recurring check to see if the public address still has funds with it. So, what prevents people from lying about what they have and earning against that?  Maybe I misunderstood.

I don't check that you have any funds other than those you deposited.

When the coins you deposited and invested are no longer sufficient to cover the loss you would incur if a max-profit bet was won, your "offsite investment" is immediately zeroed.

In other words, your offsite investment is used to increase the rate at which your onsite investment grows and shrinks, but you're never allowed to run up a negative balance.

As I understand it you are implementing optional kelly control. Isnt that just what you are doing?

All non-dust BTC LTC and DOGE addresses present on the moment of the distribution (May 2013) have received CLAM. You can check if your DOGE addresses have CLAM on the just-dice chat, more informations on the just-dice FAQ.

2014*

Yes! And 1440 new CLAM are created everyday.

Back-up all wallet.dat files before proceeding.
It is also recommended that wallet.dat files be retired before importing.

Click "File" -> "Import Wallet", then browse to the location of the wallet.dat file.

This ensures that the meta data associated with irrelevant transactions is not imported and also should initiate a rescan.

Once the client is sync'd past block 10k, you will see your CLAMS.

I'll be modifying this **Bitcoin** faucet I just made for CLAM and then we'll have another CLAM faucet/earning site. Smiley

I'm working on a feature for Just-Dice that will allow investors there to only deposit a fraction of their CLAMs and still have them all invested. It will use the CLAMs they deposit as collateral, and effectively lend them the rest to invest.

I'm hoping this will solve the issue we have with centralisation. If the biggest holders of CLAM at JD take advantage of this feature and move the majority of their balance offsite, Just-Dice should end up with way less than 50% of the CLAMs, which would be good for CLAM as a whole. Nobody wants to see over 50% of the CLAMs in a single centralised location.

On the other hand, what if as well as moving their coins offsite they also then dump them on an exchange, deciding that it's safer to hold them in BTC. That would be bad for the price, and may well end up with the coins being bought on the exchange and redeposited back onto JD by their new owners...

I guess we'll see how it goes.

I have a prototype up and running with play coins at doge-dice.com - you get 1000 free play coins when you visit, and you can get your 'loan' by typing /cold in the chat after investing.

I've been trying to follow the /cold feature that you're working on adding, but I guess I'm a little confused. I applaud the feature to reduce the centralized risk, I think it's brilliant. The part that i'm confused about is the trust part since it looks like you don't do a recurring check to see if the public address still has funds with it. So, what prevents people from lying about what they have and earning against that?  Maybe I misunderstood.
