yeah i searched before posting, and on reddit they don't mention that you only get the coins from the 12th of the month of may, but you get everything prior the 16th of the month, look at this https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2pjeh5/heard_about_this_clam_stuff_how_i_got_64_in/

I don't know why the particular block heights were chosen. I didn't hear about CLAM until a while after it launched.

The specific blocks at which the snapshots were taken:

   BTC block 300377 (2014-05-12 12:48:17)
   LTC block 565693 (2014-05-12 13:06:31)
  DOGE block 218556 (2014-05-12 13:09:17)

but why on reddit they are implying otherwise? i find it strange that you have only one day windows for the claiming, it make more sense if there was a range of days, well i think i'm going to throw a wallet at it and see what i can get

   Reddit is wrong.  It's a snapshot.   It was all addresses that had non-dust amounts at that second in time.  This is the same process that millions of other coins have done.  Take ETH/ETC, if you had ETH when there block chain forked, you had just as many ETC.  This is almost the same.  If you had BTC/LTC/DOGE at the snapshot time, in an address, you got clams.  Actually you have forever to claim them, but you only got them if you had addresses at the snapshot time. 

   They took a snap shot of each block chain.  Calculated what addresses had non-dust amounts still in them at that point.  Then preloaded the clams blockchain with 4.3 clams per clams address that corrosponded to the BTC/LTC/DOGE address.
