The clamclient website seems very confusing... It's really awkward to get around.
I'm compiling the client from the git repo right now.

How exactly do you find it awkward? In all the people we asked they all seemed to like the new layout. I understand its impossible to please everyone but we'd still like to try

If anything I find the new layout easier to navigate. The side menu also provides an easy way to get anywhere without side scrolling through if that what your referring too.

Well, i'm used to it now... It's no big deal, really.
But the big pictures made me think: "uhh... this isn't a cryptocurrency website; i must have clicked on the wrong URL". I don't understand what the pictures mean or what they're of.

did they only send clams to BTC address that are active(with a balance), and what was the date they did the address lookup on the BTC blockchain?

BTC/LTC and Doge.

It was may 12th. I added the given chain heights the snapshots were taken at also. Oh, and all addresses that were above dust for the specific coin were included.

Code:

Bitcoin
height=300377  date=2014-05-12 12:48:17

Litecoin
height=565693  date=2014-05-12 13:06:31

Dogecoin
height=218556 date=2014-05-12 13:09:17

So basically I have to give up my private keys in order to use CLAM? I haven't quite understood that yet.

Just to be sure you understand. You do NOT have to give up your private keys to USE clams. It's just a regular old alt coin as far as usage goes.

You DO have to provide your private keys in order to DIG any clams. This is the processes you use to claim your clams from the initial distribution.

Yes, I understood that. The problems remains: private keys have to be used.

So, like I mentioned, if you don't trust the client, then the solution is to move your coins to a new address/wallet, and then you can import your private keys from the time of the snapshot and there is nothing to worry about. I myself have been too lazy to do this up to this point, but I'm planning to do it soon.

This is the approach we suggest everyone takes to be 100% safe.

I didn't do it with my addresses where I wrote the code for this and I'm 100% confident its safe but moving your BTC/LTC or DOGE to a different address before you import takes the risk to 0.

You have to import your private key (that held coins at the time of the snapshot) into the CLAMs wallet. I haven't done this yet, but from what I understand it should be safe, however, best practice would be to transfer your btc/ltc/doge to a new wallet, and then you can import your private keys with no fear of anything fishy (clammy?) going on, since all your coins are in a different wallet.

It should be safe, how?

I'm not doubting CLAM. probably someone already probed their code and found nothing malicious... But having to give your private keys isn't really a good thing.

Nevertheless, I'll try this with old addresses when my wallet finishes syncing

The new website looks great!

What is the status of the wallet for OS X?

This reddit post suggests a Mac wallet would be out months ago but I don't see one listed. Is this still on the agenda? Thanks!

Getting dooglus to repoen just-dice with CLAMS was a real coup for the coin. Congrats!

Tha access to a mac for the dev team has been the issue with the OSX release. None of us are mac users, and given the nature of the coin were not comfortable endorsing a community compiled version. Once the current release is finished, which I'm working very hard on getting ready I had planned on looking at the build system.

We use gitian builder to compile the client so to provide a deterministic way that other people can verify nothing fishy is going on. The new build system will allow us to compile the osx client in the same manner, cross compiling through gitian.

There is sadly no real ETA, but it is first on my list once the current release is done.

i use electrum for BTC and therefore have no wallet.dat ...

how can I import my electrum wallet to look for CLAMs ?

Certainly, as long as you can access the private keys you and import into clams. I don't use electrum, but I'll take a look into the process for you.

OK, fair enough. I reformat Windows partitions on sight, so I'm unable to try it for myself. I'm glad you found something that works, anyway.

Did your client get back on the right fork pretty quickly when you fixed the clock and restarted it?

http://khashier.com/ shows the right fork, btw.

Yep, it did immediately. Here's a screenshot showing the tail end of my inadvertent 'attack' fork before restarting the client at 13:30 on Dec 2. No orphans since getting serious about fixing the clock drift issues: http://imgur.com/x3ahsJh

Thank you dooglus, creativecuriosity and xploited for your infinite patience on IRC Grin
