ok got it workin had missed a space in commandline 

nice work 

Thanks for taking the time to give it a go

Could you please check that you started the client with the --salvagewallet argument?

crash then "warning error reading wallet.dat" is all I get 

Well, that depends.  If you only had one unspent output associated with one address in only one chain (Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dogecoin) then unfortunately, yes.

Something to remember:

People have grown used to niche altcoin launches.  
The way this normally goes is that a few dozen or hundred or POSSIBLY thousand people mine heaping piles of coins.

What this means for value is that when the coin enter the market there are a select group of people that have very large piles of the coin.
We won't even speak about pre-mine and bounties.

To make matters more confusing, many altcoins have Billions (with a B) of coins.  Some, hundreds of Billions.
That is 1,000,000,000 <--- 1 Billion.

So if we do the math, and even assume that say 10,000 people mine the coin:
1 Billion / 10,000 = an average of 100,000 coins each.

Sounds great, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, not really.

There are a few problems with such a situation.
A single person who happens to have say a million or many millions of coins can sell at the market and manipulate the price.
They have control.

In addition, they don't actually have more Value in those coins.
The total number of coins in the market available for purchase (or supply) has a very large impact on the Value a single coin might hold.

CLAMS has ~15 Million (with an M) total coins.
A number quite close to Bitcoin's current money supply.

More importantly, it was designed to be distributed in reasonable chunks to many many people.
We are talking about every single person holding a balance in Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
Three generations of the crypto-currency user-base.

^ That is what we believe the difference is....
We could have chosen to make billions of coins and send everyone thousands of coins.

We chose not to; because although it feels nice to see a big number in your wallet: No one turns down a Bitcoin  

i made the operation, i received 4 CLAM!! that's all?

Sorry for the long delay in responding everyone!  Everyone has to rest now and then  


Everyone who has Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Dogecoin in their personal wallet was sent coins in the CLAMS chain.


The short version: Import your privateKeys from your Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Dogecoin wallet and your CLAMS will be there waiting for you.  If you are importing an entire wallet.dat file, it is important you also run the client with --salvagewallet.  This make it so that additional meta-data does not import from the other chain and mess things up.

As always, BACK-UP YOUR WALLET.DAT/PRIVATE KEYS.


Indeed, when mining at the pool you use a CLAMS receive address from the Client as your "worker name".  Any password will do, but remember that in the near future that password will likely be used to see personal mining statistics.


I sent a PM.  Hope the links and such were helpful.  Feel free to message us back if you still have problems!

To everyone else, thanks for your interest!  This has been a long journey for us, and it touches our heart to see some interest

who get the coin>?

have started to mine this coin

I can understand this..
Is there Chinese translation

mywallet and mypw are from the qt

What are you going to do with the empty wallet?

I would like to mine clams but i m new in mining and i don´t get it to run.
I tried a few miners to start with cmd but it don´t work.
Example:
guiminer.exe stratum+tcp://khashier.com:6666 -u mywallet -p mypw

Well, the network seems to be staking blocks wonderfully.
All systems go!

If anyone has any questions, we'll be here a bit longer to help out before catching some ZZZ's and fighting the good fight tomorrow!

We really thought we were clever

More concentrated than super-duper-mining farms?  That is what we are trying to prevent.
Not perfect, but hopefully better.


;( ;( ;(

Hopefully more people will ask and Demand their CLAMS!

Or even move to another exchange if they refuse to help.

Afterall, if CLAMS does even reasonably well, you can bet they will easily do the "complicated" steps and steal the CLAMS ;(

They don't want to
Because the exchange think that get clam is too complicated...
LOL FX them

Yes, this is a good idea, but he will make money most concentrated in the platform, because the platform to address the most!

We really do understand your concern, seriously.

You should checkout the list titled "I don't trust you".

Basically what it is suggesting is that if your worried; you can send your Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or Litecoin to a different wallet just in case.
Once they are there, they aren't tied to the other wallet at all and are safe no matter what.

The Bitcoins, Litecoins, and Dogecoins don't actually have to be in the wallet when you import it into Clams to get your Clams - as long as they WERE there when we did the data dump

Hope that helps make you feel less uncomfortable about it all.. if not, we would ask that maybe you check back in a day or two, after the more technical types have reviewed the code and the more brave types have grabbed their CLAMS?

i agree with you
using private key is to risky

Let them know! Ask for your CLAMS

The worst they can say is "No".

If enough folks demand their CLAMS; exchanges are competitive, they might make a move to appear good to their users!

And it could only help CLAMS if they are aware of it!
