Are fees necessary for clam? If staking is same and not ending over the time ?

I believe so - it seems to be 0.0001 CLAM per kilobyte or part kilobyte of transaction.

The reward is 1 CLAM per block, and the target is 1 block per minute.

Note however that the protocol has changed several times. Initially the reward and the chance of staking depended on the age of the output being staked. Later the reward changed to a 'lottery' based system, where the reward was 0.1 CLAM most of the time, but up to 1000 CLAM for rare winning blocks, but old outputs still staked more easily than new ones. And later again it changed to a flat system where every block staked earns the staker 1 CLAM, and the age no longer matters.
Looks like Just dice has been lucky enough to claim most opf those block rewards .
Also sometimes, on Just Dice i shows 2 CLAMS staked. Since the reward is 1, then how does Just Dice claim 2 sometimes?

Just-dice reports on the stakes once a minute.  So if it had 2 or 3 or even 4 stakes in a 60 second time frame it reports that it staked 2,3 or 4 clams.  It's still only one per stake, but they hit multiple stakes.  The average target is 1 per minute, but you could get 2 one minute then nothing for 2 minutes.

The words "Test-Build" in the links makes me think that maybe it's worth waiting a while before upgrading.

To be honest, the change from joking about this coin being a euphemism for a female part, to suddenly being a strong advocate for free speech, makes me wonder...

hey guys,

with the new wallet i was able to import about 20 wallets, but now i am stuck again. how to solve:

CDB : Error 2, can't open database (code -1)

wallet works fine in the BTC-QT. i searched the last 40 pages but i cant find the solution.

I've not been able to reproduce this program, but from what I hear it happens on Windows if you try to import a wallet from a path with a space in it.

Try copying the wallet into the top level of C:\ and import it from there.

Does that help?

hey dooglus, got help on irc. i copied the orginal wallet in the clam folder in %appdata%/clam, and opened the qt with -salvagewallet. That did it. Smiley

I had to supply an absolute path rather than a relative one (ie, /home/user/path/to/your/wallet.dat rather than ./wallet.dat).

So is staking supposed to stop or halve somewhere in future ?
I can't remember and would like to know as well.
I think it is just a flat coin per block reward fo eva if I recall.

Indeed.

There is no decay; however, since the CLAMs reward is not interest/percentage based, as the money supply increases so too the inflation (as a percentage of that money supply) decreases. 

In addition, we expect claim inflation to be positively correlated to price.  Suggesting that the incentive (reward), to claim increases and decreases with price.  The idea being that in times of price below equilibrium, claim inflation will decrease, slowing inflation to bring the price back into equilibrium.  The converse is also true.

The interesting part, and the actual experiment of CLAMs, is the impact of the positive externalities associated with claim inflation.  Each claim represents a potential user "aware" of CLAMs.  CLAMs also gives service providers, who may have distribution CLAMs attributed to them, a vested interest in the network.



What does all this mean?
It seems over time we will find out Smiley
