Re: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin"

If someone could tell me how to sync the wallet that would be great.

Download a bootstrap.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.msg9772191#msg9772191

Also for syncing I noticed, that having multiple connection to other nodes creates "ERROR: ProcessBlock() : already have block XYZ" and trigger lookups for Orphan blocks which slows down the synchronisation.
I usually reduce the maximum connections while synchronizing to have only one source and not get ERRORs and ORPAHNS.
Set
maxconnections=1
in clam.conf and restart the client

Note: There is slight chance you get connected to some malicious node and you download forked chain, but I never encountered that. Plus after you finish syncing you can check the hash of the last block with some public clam block explorer.

Note 2: The sync takes some time to finish, depends on the CPU of you machine (it basically verifies whole chain on the fly) - it can take few days (when I tried to sync using Raspberry Pi in January, it took a week to fully sync)

I have downloaded the bootstrap and copied it.
But my wallet stops importing at block 1,775,795 ( 1 year and 12 week (s) behind ). The " importing blocks " has also disappear from my wallet , What should I do ?

Have you tried to restart the client?
Do you have enough space on your disk?
Do you see any ERRORs in the debug.log?

I think I have enough space.
this is on debug file

And I just noticed that name of "bootstrap.dat " file changed to "bootstrap.dat.old"

Hi,
"bootstrap.dat.old" means, that the bootstrap was fully processed.
"already have block" means that the Clam tries import block from bootstrap, but its already in the DB (maybe from the previous run).

Its a bit strange, as the bootstrap from the link should have 2467400 blocks.

Anyway - after finishing bootstrap it should start syncing from the network.
Do you have at least one connection?
