Can someone please help me I am new to clams. I won quite a bit on just-dice.com I went to clamaddress to get an address and private key which is what I used to do with bitcoin and I then import the private key, but when i downloaded the wallet the only option for importing is a wallet.dat file. Can I dump my private key in the wallet and recover my funds? Please help. Thanks
I don't know the GUI client very well, but there's some way to open a debug console. It's on the 'help' menu.
Once you find it, type: importprivkey, then a space, then your private key, and hit return. It will rescan the blockchain, taking maybe 10 minutes.
You don't need to do that to generate an address. The CLAM client can generate its own addresses. Just check the 'receive' tab, or whatever it's called.
