if we do the importprivkey [btcprivkey] on the CLAM client, do we need to do something else
what should I expect to happen?

Depending on whether you tell it to rescan or not, it will add the private key, and either rescan (taking a few minutes) or not.

If you have several to add, you should tell it not to rescan on all but the last import, to save time.

Then you'll see the CLAMs in your wallet

I have no way to try that script out but isnt doing a search on khashier give me the same result?
btw I couldn't open khashier blockchain for some unknown reason occasionally, anyone experiencing it too?
anyway, what I do was:
go to http://khashier.com:2750/ and enter my btc address there
on the result page I clicked on the first link with btc address on it
then it brings up another page with a CLAM balance and a link to its CLAM address
am I wrong assuming this CLAM address corresponding to my btc priv key?  Huh

I never tried giving khashier a BTC address, so I'm not sure what it does with them.

and sorry for your recent mishap, but that would be just a minor setback
just need to split them up and wait another 8 hours to mature, right?

Yeah. I'm back in business.

meaning it is the only way to claim ownership of my CLAM address and not the actual priv key of that CLAM address, right?
because if I were to dumpprivkey that CLAM addr, the priv key would be completely different from the btc priv key I entered, right?

No, your CLAM privkey is the same as your BTC privkey. The public keys are the same too. The addresses are only different because of the byte added at the start to make BTC addresses start with a '1' and CLAM addresses with an 'x'.

If you dumpprivkey you'll get the same from the BTC wallet as from the CLAM one if you use addresses which correspond to each other.
