Not a Bitcoin chain split — a new proof-of-stake chain airdropped to Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin addresses.

A 2014 proof-of-stake coin that gave about 4.6 CLAM to every Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin address with a balance, to be “dug” with the old private keys.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: CLAMs is the ancestor of the 2017 airdrop wave — three years before Bitcoin Cash, it handed coins to every Bitcoin address and asked owners to import old keys to get them.[1]

Distribution

The announcement thread, opened by SuperClam on 24 May 2014, says: “Every person who had Bitcoin at block 300,377, Litecoin at block 565,693, or Dogecoin at block 218,556 was given ~4.6 CLAM”[1]. The project site dates the snapshot to 12 May 2014 and says each address with a balance above dust received “a little over 4.6 CLAMS”[2].

Claiming and staking

The thread says “CLAIMING FREE CLAMs IS EASY!” and tells users to import their wallet into the CLAM client[1]. The site describes ongoing distribution “Through Proof-of-Stake(POS)” and suggests typing /dig in the Just-Dice chat to check for coins[2]. The thread title gives the coin's consensus names as “Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake”[1].
