Sorry, but I am not handing over my private keys. This looks like a risky precedent. You should have thought of some way for the owners to prove they had the required wallet private key by generating a public key, or sequence of public keys, or sending dust or similar. Any protocol that requires the private keys is suspect.

The new Sub-Reddit is now live!

Please forgive us for the extremely extended response time.
There has been some sickness in the Dev team

The Good News:
The more technical folks have kept themselves busy
Expect a very interesting update in the near future!

Thank you very much for the kind words! 
We agree completely: You've almost quoted us

Concerning your trouble compiling the CLAM Client on Debian/Tails:
In situations like these, the details are king.
If you could please post an issue on the CLAMS git.
Add as much detail as possible concerning any errors or steps taken.
More = Better.

---

I understand your confusion, completely.

The Good News:
It appears an exchange with exponentially more volume will be listing CLAMS in the near future.
In addition, they intend to distribute the exchange's attributed CLAMS to their users - if everything can be figured out.

The Bad News:
Until that happens, that leaves us with a tough situation.
The BTC from sold alt-coins is safe and sound; but there is no established market to purchase CLAMS for distribution.
Assuming the above deal falls through, the only recourse is somewhat complicated.
It would involve requesting signed messages from miners, verifying those signatures, and distributing BTC directly.
We want to avoid that if at all possible.

Regardless, we have fundamental, and we believe exciting, changes coming to the CLAM Client in the near future.
Yet another feature to set us apart from the sea of altcoins

What's happening with the pool?

I think this is an interesting idea and would like to try it out. I'm having trouble getting it to work under Debian/Tails. I got the source code, but ran into trouble trying to compile it. I don't want to spend a lot of time on it, so I'll just check again in a few weeks and see if it works then.

I don't think there is anything nefarious about the idea though. On the contrary, it's probably the most fair distribution of a proof-of-stake coin to date.

Sure, a little explanation is probably in order.

Once your client sync's the block chain past block 10,000, you will know if that wallet has any CLAMS.
Keeping the client open for longer than that, won't give you any more chance to find CLAMS in the wallet.

From a technical perspective:
The CLAMS are already on the chain and controlled by your privateKeys.

I replace my LTC wallet.dat to clam .
and open clam wallet with argument..
So...Do I keep my clam wallet open and than I will get the clam?

A great question.
A tough answer.

Right now, there are likely less than a thousand or a few thousand CLAMS.
Why?

CLAMS are created when new users import their wallets and claim their clams.

In Poof-Of-Work ("Poof" intentional) crypto currencies:
Hash == Coins.

CLAMS is Proof-Of-Chain. In Proof-Of-Chain:
Users ~= Coins.

Absolute max total possible coins, if every single user of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin imported their wallets; making CLAMS the largest crypto currency in the world, would be ~15 Million.

We hope this makes CLAMS sufficiently "rare" throughout it's life-cycle.

Thanks

CLAMS has already launched.
You can claim your CLAMS by following the directions in the first post.

Enjoy!

If the launch, I will participate in.Keep up the good work.

how much is the total coins

Glad you chose to turn on and tune in!

Doc Leary would be proud

Seriously though, user reports such as yours are priceless.
If you like the idea, drop by Poloniex, Bittrex, MintPal, Cryptsy or any other exchange and let them know how you feel

Cheers!

Clams claimed without any problem.

Is it a CLAM?
Is it a Death Star?

Is there a difference?
Coincidence?
I THINK NOT!

I will leave you to draw your own conclusions...

True.  Complete Morons probably should not redeem their CLAMS.

For everyone else, who has half a wit and the internets, it is quite simple and reasonable to do a code difference check between BlackCoin and CLAMS.

Looking at your past posts, you seem to be a rather intelligent person.

Please continue that trend, and spend the less than five minutes it would take to view the one dozen lines of code changed before you Scarlet letter someone else's work.

We aren't talking a bunch of complicated functions, methods and non-sense.

We're talking what amounts to a couple copy paste Constants and a switch statement.

Five minutes and two Google searches later, even a moderate computer user should be able to feel comfortable with the code as it stands.

Please do us that respect.
If you find anything nefarious; One line of code.
We will delete this thread entirely.

Yours Truly,
Super Clam.

You have to be a complete moron to use this with a wallet that has any significant amount of BTC in it. Just stating the obvious...

How can  I get more Clams except mining.

A helpful report, from a trusted Senior Member.

Thank You.

I am sure you have likely tried these simple steps, but for posterity and anyone else who might find this:

- Make sure you ran the CLAM Client with --salvagewallet ("--" the two dashes are important).
- If it still doesn't work, try the Sipa Console command "dumpwallet" in the BTC wallet (only available in the BTC core Client),
   Then, "importwallet" in CLAMS.

About the "malware" I have not found anything.
If anyone is worried about their private keys, you can do a wallet password on top of your private keys, and still claim your clams.

I was able to get some using multibit but when I tried with a qt .dat it didnt work, not sure what I did. I might suggest a new wallet for every clam claim.
