Thanks. I've downloaded the bootstrap file, but importing is incredibly slow. I hope it can be interrupted and then restarted for the position where it stopped, otherwise I would probably not be able to complete the process at all.

Try turning off your Internet connection while it's importing. Does it keep importing? If not, you're not using the bootstrap file. It shouldn't be that slow.

If you stop and restart the client it will continue where it left off.

It says "Importing blocks..." and continues from where it stopped, but it is incredibly slow. Probably going to take several days at least. I'm running it in a virtual machine (as some other altcoins), but it is still too slow.

What is the expected probability/percentage of staking?

Estimated return in clams (NO COMPOUNDING) :: ... 41.0331677% return/year ... 3.3725891% return/month ... 0.1124196% return/day ... 0.0046842% return/hour ... 0.0000781% return/minute ... 0.0000013% return/second

I know nothing about probabilities but I do know that with small amount of coins staking outside of just-dice or other pool might be a bit unconvenient/difficult.

I have downloaded the blockchain from cryptochainer.com, and now the client just writes 'out of sync' and does nothing (but it shows 19 active connections to the Clam network). Of course, stacking does not work.

I've not heard of that site before. [Edit: I checked it out; couple of problems: 1) it's a zip archive of the CLAM client's data directory after syncing the blockchain; you have to trust the site not to have planted fake utxos in their db; you're better off downloading a bootstrap file and processing it yourself. 2) it only contains 1686 MB of block data whereas the CLAM blockchain currently has 2193 MB of data, so it's quite out of date. ]

I just updated my copy of the CLAM blockchain here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9772191

The CLAM client gets stuck occasionally. If you stop and restart it when it gets stuck it should eventually sync.

Xploited is working on a new version of the CLAM client which should be a lot better at syncing, but it's not ready for release yet.

Does the client overwrite the decrypted keys (a) when the client "locks" after the specified period and (b) before the client exits?

Yes, looks like it does to me.

I recently found a bug in the unlocking code. If you ask it to unlock for too many seconds, it instantly relocks. I would suggest never using more than a 9 digit number of seconds to be on the same side.

As an example, try unlocking for 2^31 = 2147483648 seconds and it will instantly relock, but unlock for one less second than that and it works.

The same thing happens in Bitcoin Core, but only when you get up to around 2^63/1000 seconds, which is a much bigger number. I reported it here:

It may sound strange, but I have found about this coin only yesterday. Fortunately, I have found an old wallet.dat backup from the times I used the full BTC client (no bitcoins there anymore). Importing worked and I've got some Clams, but the client cannot sync. First it became stuck on some old block (almost three years ago). I have downloaded the blockchain from cryptochainer.com, and now the client just writes 'out of sync' and does nothing (but it shows 19 active connections to the Clam network). Of course, stacking does not work.

I don't know what cryptochainer is but https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9772191 there you got the bootstrap.

The wallet.dat file itself doesn't change when it is unlocked. The password is in RAM only. So if someone steals the file all they get is the encrypted version. But if they're smart they'll look in RAM and grab the password from there. "unlock for staking" still requires your private keys to be accessible to the client, and so they're also theoretically available to anyone with access to your system.

Does the client overwrite the decrypted keys (a) when the client "locks" after the specified period and (b) before the client exits? If not, the raw keys may remain in memory for longer than expected, especially since the OS may not immediately zero fill released memory.

It seems to be a standard text message that they put up for any coin they're having trouble with.

They don't reply to developer attempts to help them so I don't know what's wrong.

Getting a reply from poloniex support can take months. There's probably something simple wrong with their wallet, but they are so overloaded that making a simple fix will take ages. The whole exchange is struggling to cope with the huge volume of transactions from new customers..

I would think coin related issues would be addressed by a different mailbox and not the same support team handling retail questions. Perhaps this has to be done by one of the authoritative figures here.

Folks, not being a developer, what are the small part people like me can play to help boost the awareness of clam coins to the public? I think this is needed to help push up the clamcoin market capitalization.

I've just recently claimed my coins and I'm keeping them, as I like the idea of earning more coins and staking seems to be a simple avenue to do this (used to do mining but the expenses were unjustifiable at that time, and I don't have the proper conditions to do it now). However, I think the clam community is much smaller (and quiet) than some of the more prominent coins out there. So am thinking how can each of us active on this thread help to play a part in boosting the popularity of the coin.

Sorry if it seems longwinded. Just wanted to share what my thoughts are. Cheers all!

Maybe it is something political? There is no problem on Bittrex with CLAMS, so the network has no problem. Anyone who is on the secret crypto exchanges chat and who knows more?
