If most exchanges keep coins in a separate address for each user, then they will control the vast majority of clams. Most users probably keep all their coins in one address if they run a wallet on their computer.

Some companies must have the private keys to thousands or tens of thousands of addresses that were distributed CLAM.
Is poloniex down only for me

?
Nope, same for everyone. They are having issues at the datacentre which hosts the site according to thier twitter page
Cryptsy has CLAM/BTC now and hopefully CLAM/LTC soon.
https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/CLAM_BTCPolo is shit. I'd trust Cryptsy with way more personally.
How can a hero member be so dumb? Cryptsy are total fuckwits they stake your coins and are very hard to get them back from

Poloniex doesn't stake coins either. So either way you aren't earning coinage while keeping coins on a exchange. Use Just-dice as a online wallet or stake your own coins.
Cryptsy has done good business for me and I plan on keeping my business there until it changes!
I never keep coins on a exchange for any length of time. Always in and out... I recommend the same practices for yourself!
Make a exchange that pays users their staked coins and maybe everyone switches to you!
I thought poloniex did.
