Block 68455 minted 950.2716788

Possibly the largest lottery reward yet?

That was me! Smiley

According to the bot in the IRC channel, yes:

That's the only reward I have in the top 5, although my 2nd biggest reward (567.51201935) only just fails to get 5th place.

Here you go =]

https://github.com/tryphe/clams-importwalletgui

Works for me but needs testing. Most of the code is around line 870 in bitcoingui.cpp if anyone wants to see the actual password handling. It's very short. The password dialog is NOT the one used to encrypt your wallet, so don't get sketched out if it doesn't look identical. Reason being, I didn't want to dig too much code from rpcdump without it being practical(ie. safety checks). In other words, a one liner QInput call replaces what would be like 20+ more lines from rpc.

Please tell me if you find any issues or have any suggestions. I won't hesitate to attempt more features to make it easier to roll the coin out.

Note: This isn't really the most eloquent solution, it's just convenient for now.
**You probably do not want to pull my .qrc file, I removed broken translations that qt-5.2 does not like and stopped me from compiling the master branch.

A very special 'thank you' to whomever just donated 100 CLAMS to the OP Post donation address!

I think this is a good time to do a first bounty Grin

The Development team could use the services of an experienced Qt Developer.
http://qt-project.org/

One of the foundational concepts of CLAMS is the ability for everyone to get involved.
Caritas,
Libertas,
AEQUITAS,
Monetas.

CLAMS is long overdue for an in-client GUI import mechanism.
An improved 'dumpwallet' rpc command and functionality has already been added to the CLAMClient.
This improved command allows a user to import a wallet.dat file via absolute or relative path (data directory).
It also allows for the user to input a passphrase, if the wallet is encrypted.

We will start the bounty at 50 CLAMS.

50 CLAMS to the first person to submit a functioning pull request that implements the new 'importwallet' command and includes:

  • An item in the 'file' menu that brings up the 'importwallet' dialog.
  • The ability for the user to 'browse' to the location of the wallet.dat file.
  • The ability for the user to input the passphrase, if the wallet is encrypted.
  • Runs the 'importwallet' command with the user given details.

Cheers,
creativecuriosity Grin

Would be better if CLAM get listed on much bigger exchange to increase volume and investors interest.

CLAM has been amazingly stable between 100K and 200K sats...
So much so that the Clam Shell where you see 100 or 200 size support bids is rarely seen...
That means people love this coin... and are hoarding.

A wild guesstimate of Clam Population:

I have 4 active wallets with 235 Clams...
And a Staking Weight of 184 vs Network Weight of 18,952...
So if I have roughly 1% of active Clams that means there are about 25,000 active Clams...
Possibly many more in off-line or cold wallets.

We need more people to find Clams... if only for the FUN...
It's almost as if the Devs wanna keep this quiet for a while before a Big Innovation.

Maybe we should have a weekly Sunday Clam Hunt thread...
And bring 20-50 people into the fold every week... week after week...
Somebody just do it... because it can't be me I'm too controversial 'round here.


I love the idea, bringing 20-50 people into the fold each week would be really great. I'm not sure about the logistics of such an event but its something I will bring up with the team, I just do the coding Smiley  I can promise there is no conspiracy to keep it quite, we've been shouting it from the roof's since we started and its awesome to be getting traction now and the more the better!

I can give some slightly more accurate numbers for you regarding the 'active' clams. Some members of the team don't like throwing the numbers around, and I get there point but I like numbers, even if there estimates.First (disclaimer here) There is absolutely no way to know exactly how many clams are sitting in peoples wallets. We can only count clams that a) have been staked or b) have been spent to another address.

With that said, here on the current numbers from our friendly irc bot aptly named SuperClam on the #clams irc channel

Lottery Winnings: 8962.94460818 Clams
Staking Earning: 3484.69149075 Clams
Amount Claimed: 42305.71642764 Clams, 9186 Addresses

Current CLAMS in Circulation(estimate): 54319.26807218 Clams

But why not create an Android wallet able to stake our coins??

I'm not sure it would be practical. PoS minting is generally more "power friendly" than PoW, but it can still take a fair bit of CPU at times. Perhaps there may be some way to only stake when the phone is connected to a charger?
I agree with you! Good idea..

Lol, no just the luck of the draw. That was one of my original addresses that was converted from a btc address.

Got another lotto block and did not even realize till now  Grin . Just a baby, but I'll take it.



I get quite a lot of only-just-over-0.1 wins, like these two:

So one of the most expensive pearl in the world found in Clam. Interesting facts about pearl.  Smiley


Where else would one find the most expensive pearls given they grow inside [preferably] wild clams?  lol.

if one of them stakes (using original client)... then it will combine the 3 into 1 output of 4.1 Clams? which will mature in 510 blocks
hence instead of having 2 more chance for staking, Im left with 1 locked unspent. Is this correct?

Yes, I think that is correct, mostly. There are some wrinkles, like outputs created in the same transaction as the output that is staking aren't combined even if they are at the same address, and outputs aren't combined if one is "pay to pubkey" and the other is "pay to address". But for the most part, you're right.

and it is fixed 0.1 Clams stake reward unless hit the lottery for up to 1000 Clams.

Well, every time you stake you get a lottery prize - it's just that 99% of lottery prizes are 0.1 CLAM. The bigger prizes are very rare. The 2nd most common prize is 0.10000001 for instance... I posted a chart showing the probability of each size of prize earlier in this thread.

Edit: here:

and what is the minimum amount of each unspent to be eligible for staking?

There's no minimum, but the chance of an output staking is proportional to the "weight" of the output, which is the age of the output (in days) times its value (in CLAMs) rounded down to an integer. So if age times value is less than 1, it has effectively zero chance of staking.

In other words, an output of 0.01 CLAM won't have a chance of staking until it is 100 days old (0.01 * 100 = 1).
