Dash Release 11.2
The team has been hard at work for over 2 months on improving various parts of the core client. The client should overall be much faster to use, require less bandwidth, will require a level-of-service from masternodes, perform Darksend transactions faster and has a new beautiful look and feel.
All users must update!
This includes protocol changes, so all users must update. Enforcement will be turned off briefly while the network updates, then turned on when we hit 80% in a day or two. Older version masternodes will cease to be paid immediately due to the incompatibility of the protocol!
Thanks to UdjinM6 for writing a really nice masternode management system. You can check it out here: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/v0.11.2.x/src/masternodeman.cpp
This module makes it much faster to restart a node, because it won’t have to request the masternode list every time. It also keeps a record of the DS variables, which will make the network much more harder to trick.
Configurations Have Been Moved!
Configurations have been moved from .darkcoin to .dash! You’ll need to do the following when updating your client. First close Darkcoin and backup your data directory.
Windows: %APPDATA%\Darkcoin\
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/
Unix/Linux: ~/.darkcoin/
After that rename it to Dash for Windows/Mac, or .dash for linux. Next go open the directory and locate the darkcoin.conf file, rename this to dash.conf.
Next, simply update to the newest Dash client and restart.
Other new things in this release:
Proof-of-service (PoSe), all masternodes MUST have their port opened correctly, otherwise they will be removed. This also checks to make sure masternodes are responding to work requests such as InstantX. This basically will ensure that all nodes are on the same fork and their network functionality is working properly. This was implemented so that the part of the masternode network checks another part of the network, so it’s 100% decentralized.
New command “masternode list pose”, shows all of the masternodes PoSe scores, good for debugging if your masternode is getting punished for not providing proper service.
New DarkSend caching, which improves the experience of using DarkSend vastly
Masternode Blinding is NOT part of this release, while it’s in the code, it’s currently disabled. It’ll take a bit more work to complete and we were running out of time before the March 25th deadline, so it’s being moved to the next release.
Thanks to PoSe, InstantX should work nearly all of the time now.
New masternode voting system for new Dash initiates, each masternode gets one vote. See the new commands “masternode list votes” and “masternode vote yea|nay”. First vote, what color is this dress : http://imgur.com/QjqfntR ? Blue and Black (yea) or White and Gold (nay)

Digging for CLAMS
CLAMS is the most refreshing cryptocurrency since bitcoin itself, so much in fact that I traded all my Litecoins for CLAMS the day they were listed on Poloniex.
Until recently I’ve been more of a crypto hoarder than a crypto trader. I’ve investigated and bought into 100 different projects and in the process have become bored sick with the same-old same-old copy-paste shiat. The days of wide-eyed wonderment are over. It takes alot to impress me these days.
This project first came to my attention 24 hours ago when browsing the Bitcointalk announcements forum. Minutes later I’d started buying, because CLAMS is the perfectest cryptocurrency invented as of yet. Let me repeat: perfectest cryptocurrency.
The anonymous developers have premined over 14 million CLAMS, the entirety of which were distibuted to over 3 million bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin accounts. Any account that had even a little “dust” in it was assigned 4.6 CLAMS. Using the block explorer I have confirmed that within 7 of my own accounts are a total of about 32 clams, worth around $100USD at this time. But instead of selling I bought 85 more CLAMS, because this is the most expansive and well-targeted distribution ever.
Furthermore, the CLAM devs have invented a new method to help stabilize the price, called “the CLAM shell”. Their website khashier.com is a scrypt mining pool that mines altcoins and uses the profits to place CLAM buy orders at 50% to 75% of the current price. When these orders are filled, the miners receive “Pearl Payouts”. These rewards are based on more than just hashing power. The longer a miner dedicates their resources to the pool, the larger percentage of rewards they receive. Excellent.
So who are the these crypto geniuses? The writing style of the announcement and the user IDs posting in the forums suggests that CLAMS was brought to us by the same devs who created Digibyte and Nautiluscoin. Note that the latter displays a huge photo of some shelled sea creature 
A telling sign of coming greatness is the fact that the CLAMS Twitter account has some 13,000 followers. Twitter connections are huge in the crypto world, and this is a very big number at this time. I pity all those poor souls who are selling their CLAMS right now, but on the other hand, that’s more precious time for the rest of us to buy dirt-cheap CLAMS!
CLAMS is a proof-of-stake coin with 1% annual inflation.

Introduction to CLAMS
WHAT ARE CLAMS?
CLAMS are a form of digital value, or currency, that is transferred, created, and verified by the collective effort of the computers running the CLAMS software. Similar to Bitcoin, the original technology on top of which CLAMS was created, this network follows a rigorous protocol to ensure that consensus and verification is maintained.
WHAT IS THE CLAM NETWORK?
The CLAM Network is a peer-to-peer network of computers running the CLAMS software. To become a part of the CLAMS network, you need only to run the CLAMS software on your home computer. The purpose of this network is to independently and collaboratively verify the transfer and creation of CLAMS.
CLAMs were initially distributed to 3,208,032 addresses.
Each address received 4.60545574 CLAMs.
67,511 addresses have been dug.
310,918 CLAMs have been dug.
297,773 CLAM were staked for a total of 526,512.12
If all the distributed CLAMs were dug up, the total money supply would be 15,009,015.13
No Proof-Of-Work stage
Based on May 12, 2014 “Snapshot” of BTC, LTC and DOGE blockchains
Not cheatable via coin movement or mixing
Block Creation: Proof-Of-Stake
Block Time: 1 Minute
Minimum Stake Age: 500 blocks, or 4 hours. Target 8 hours 20 minutes
Maximum Stake Age: Unlimited
Block Reward: 1 CLAM
Proof-Of-Stake reward is designed to replace coins lost, unclaimed or inaccessible over time. The block reward of 1 CLAM means that 526,000 new CLAMs are created each year. The annual rate of return varies in relation to the current active money supply. Accordingly, the present annual rate of return is 234%, and the daily return is 0.64%
CLAMS REDDIT TIP BOT!
Tipbot is up, needs testing. This bot was not created by the CLAMs development team. Do not deposit large amounts.

Some members of team FastCoin possess teaching backgrounds having taught computer science at the University and College Level. Others have held relatively key positions for high profile international IT companies such as Microsoft, Symantec and ATI. FastCoin also has professionals with MBA’s and global work experience; aiding the business analysis aspects of managing the FST project. All have been actively involved in the cryptocurrency space for years; enthusiastically mining Bitcoin and participating in the emerging digital currency economy. Christopher Tao is regarded as the head developer of FastCoin and the coin’s primary creator.
Reflecting the popularity of the coin, the official FastCoin twitter account has over 10 000 followers and this is rapidly growing month after month. With its fast transaction speeds the FastCoin team is also actively targeting the mobile space and to this end they have released an Android FastCoin wallet which is currently in Beta – but functional. Due to its lightning fast transaction speeds FastCoin offers tangible benefits for merchants who accept FST as a payment method; any website or business who reaches out to the FastCoin team looking to accept FST will be warmly received.
With its highly qualified and motivated core development team, strong social media presence, rising popularity and primary innovation of being the fastest transacting digital currency in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, FastCoin has a bright future ahead.
