Re: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin"
Yeah, "clamour" is the British English equivalent of "clamor." For the sake of brevity, it started as "clamor," but "clamour" has the words "our" and "clam" in it.
About the 10,000 block frame: That's a moving frame. There is no deadline for votes; instead, whenever >50% of blocks staked in any 10,000 block window express support of a petition, that's considered a majority. So in effect, the vote can occur any time.

I'd just like to take a moment and thank Kefkius who's development with CLAM has been invaluable. We haven't said so yet officially, but we consider him part of the team
I still don't really understand what's supposed to happen in the event of a successful vote. Can you expand on that? So far I gather that nothing really happens, it's just a metric you can use to assess whether x% of people are likely to run a new fork with your proposed changes. It'd be up to the petition-maker to implement any changes they'd like to see, and convince people to run the new version.
Is that about the gist of it?
Your first part is correct, it is a metric that can be used to assess the current "will" of the network. Its up to the petition-maker to gain support for their idea.. but not necessarily required for them to have code. By having the vote you will already know if people are willing to run the new version or not.. no convincing should really be required assuming the vote reaches majority.
I personally suggest a formal place to create a detailed plan of implementation once a vote has been won, think CIP's (clam improvement protocol) which could be hosted on the nochowerderforyou git repo.
