I manage now with 1 wallet.dat  i got some clam already

please see the my other question above thread..
thanks a lot...

it works now....yeheyyy i claim some...

but I only put 1 wallet.dat from doge

question.... If my wallet from bitcoin is empty but it used to have a lot of coins on it  before IF i will put the wallet.dat of bitcoin to the clam wallet
is there any clam i can claim?

Okay, lets start from the beginning.

The first time you start CLAMClient, it will create an empty wallet.dat file.
Write down a receive address from this wallet.
Then, close down the CLAMClient, and copy the wallet.dat, which holds the receive address you just wrote down to a safe place (Like renaming it wallet(2).dat).

Now, copy in the wallet.dat from Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin.

Then, start CLAMClient with --salvagewallet

Send the CLAMS you find to the address you wrote down/copied.

Stop the CLAMClient.

Move you bitcoin, litecoin, dogecoin wallet.dat file out of the folder and put back in your original CLAMS wallet.dat file.

Finally, start clam-qt.exe normally (only need --salvagewallet once when your finding your CLAMS).

You should see your CLAMS

question.... If my wallet from bitcoin is empty but it used to have a lot of coins on it  before IF i will put the wallet.dat of bitcoin to the clam wallet

"Then move the bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin wallet" do u mean the wallet.dat  into the clam folder?     "and import"? what do u mean import?

xP4YymhtLY6J4dgrkrpwmh1biH6dUBkwwb   this is my clam receive address  i  copied from received in clam qt  "Back it up in safe place" you mean save it in a note pad? the address?

Otherwise, if you are only importing a single wallet.dat file, it is fine to overwrite the EMPTY wallet.dat file created when CLAMS starts.

Again, please make sure you back-up any wallet files that have coin in them before you copy ANYTHING, ANYWHERE.

Please make sure you back-up any wallet.dat files that have coins in them BEFORE you do any copying at all!

But yes, after starting the CLAMClient, an empty wallet.dat file will be generated.  If you have more than one wallet.dat you want to IMPORT, then copy down a receive address from your CLAMS wallet, and back it up to a safe place.  Then move the bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin wallet into the folder and import, sending the CLAMS you find to the address you wrote down from the wallet file you have backed up safe and sound.

Does that make any sense?

so when I put the wallet.dat from bitcoin or ltc  to this location  "C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/Clam/" folder.
there will be 2 wallet.dat file in the folder???
because when i run the clam qt it will generate wallet.dat  and plus I will add wallet.dat from ltc or btc

Indeed, there are many good coins

And yet, this distribution was done some time ago, and even now both of those coins are almost orders of magnitude smaller when it comes to active addresses on the chain.

We chose the three coins that we believed had the most unique users based on our block chain analysis.

We understand that this isn't perfect for everyone 

Hello and good luck with project, got my Clams and still have my BTC for the people that do not think it is safe. You can also transfer Btc to an exchange and make a new wallet just to be safe. Also with the --slavagewallet, easy to make a .bat file in the same folder where the clam-qt.exe is and put  clam-qt.exe --slavagewallet inside the bat file. Am also mining at the pool and would like to see information on my miner. Thanks and good luck.

Trading volume, maybe... but that's a silly stat to look at.  It's doubtable either has anywhere near the userbase size of BTC, LTC, and Doge, tho.

DRK and VRC are both rather gimmicky coins too - DRK, for example, had a MASSIVE instamine, and a significant portions of coins are in the hands of a few individuals.

CLAMs is a coin based on wide distribution in the existing crypto communities.

There is DRK and VRC that have high volume.

Just BTC, LTC, and DOGE.

At the time we did the distribution, there wasn't a single coin that had anywhere even near as many users as those three.
I would be willing to bet that there still isn't.

So, this only works with BTC, LTC or DOGE? Or can others work too?

Sure! No problem at all!

We made no pre-mine -> did this as a gift to the crypto-community; but that gift has no value if folks can't get their CLAMS

My simple mistake, I misspelled "salvage" and put "salavage" instead...LOL....Got it....Thanks

I used the command line and still got that error.

Guys, I think it is easy to exploit this wallet. I haven't tested it but I will soon. My post got deleted that told you how. The dev does not want to face this fact. Perhaps he is using the exploit to get clams for himself to later sell.

No need to extract privKeys or anything.
The issue you are seeing has to do with the extra meta-data that a wallet.dat file contains.
Essentially, the CLAM client is looking for all the BTC transaction history that you had in the wallet - the problem is, they don't exist in the CLAMS network.

Adding the --salvagewallet argument when you run CLAMClient should solve your problem.

If you know how to use the command-line/DOS, just run the program clam-qt.exe --salvagewallet

If you do not, you can right-click and create a shortcut for the clam-qt.exe file.

Then, right-click the shortcut and click "properties".

You will see a field titled "Target:".

Just add "--salvagewallet" (no quotes, with a space separating what is already there) to the end in the field.
Then, save your changes to the short-cut.

Finally, run the clam-qt.exe shortcut you made once, and it if everything worked properly you should see your CLAMS.

In the future, you do not need to run the short-cut - just click the normal clam-qt.exe file.

I keep getting the error "Warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transactiondata or address book entries might be missing or incorrect." I just copied the BTC wallet.dat into the CLAM folder in C:\Users\Mobile User\AppData\Roaming\Clam. I get the same error pasting the DOGE wallet.dat.

Do I need to rename the BTC wallet.dat or do I need to extract the privkeys?

No faucet yet, but Poloniex intends to do a giveaway of the small portion of CLAMS they received.
Hope everyone who has a chance to take part in it says, "Thank You!"

In addition, over 3 million people were given CLAMS during our distribution -> there is good chance you were one of them if you are involved in Crypto.

Finally, if you have the ability to set-up a faucet; I am sure everyone would greatly appreciate it!

*cough cough* Please don't advertise un-related services on our thread.  You are only the second time we have exercised our "Self-Moderated" function. *cough cough*

Create a CLAMS mixer, and we will be more than happy to list it in the OP thread!

Indeed, that is the total money supply given that every single Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin user claims their CLAMS becomes a CLAMS user.

In addition, there are many privateKeys which have been lost or abandoned; so even then the distribution would be much less.

CLAMS is an extremely small distribution coin at the moment: likely less than 10,000 total.

---

In order to claim CLAMS from multiple BTC, LTC, or DOGE wallet.dat files the process is:

Copy and paste a CLAMS receive address some where you won't lose it.

Import a wallet.dat

Send the CLAMS from that wallet to the receive address you copied down.

Repeat for all wallet.dat files.

Load-up the wallet.day file for the address that you copied down.

See all your CLAMS!

Thank you so much!
We really need all the help we can get -> it is much appreciated!

---

We hope you do too!

It really isn't all that difficult to get your CLAMS....

Please, anyone who is having difficulty, head on over to the reddit.com subreddit /r/CLAMClient.
That is probably a better forum for personal help. 
Just make a new post asking for help (make sure you post all the details of what you have tried and where you are stuck).

The "Interest Earned" payment you are referring to has to do with Proof-Of-Stake.
Everyone's ~4.6 CLAMS have been accruing age since launch, even if they weren't "claimed".
That makes them more likely to stake.

Thanks for the compliment on the name!

In other news, we are still hard at work on CLAMS.

We have two updates in the pipeline.
One aims to change how Proof-Of-Stake functions, giving your average user with a smaller pile of CLAMS a fair shake and the chance to strike it CLAM rich.
The other, we hope, will shake crypto and make CLAMS easier to use and more useful than any other crypto in existence 

The second is, however, a bit farther out.

In addition, expect an OSX release at roughly the same time as the first update.
