Maybe this is a noob question, but why there is a 242-pages thread about ASICMINER, instead of a dedicated sub-forum?

This automatically disqualifies anything you might have written about that.

You fail to understand why it is vital for an distributed currency to be opensource, and you also fail to understand that if a company states something, he'd better not be lying.

This site is awful, use http://host-tracker.com/ instead.

That said, visiting it I get this message:

Will only work if his phone is rooted.

Obviously wrong: you can create any coin you want, but as long as nobody gives it value, it has no effect on the economy.

I've created a couple of small offers, according to the min and max prices of the last month on BGG.

Striving to promote any mean of exchanging digital currencies, I'm going to act as a ripple gateway for boardgamegeek's GeekGold.

boardgamegeek [BGG] is a website dealing, as you might have guessed, in boardgames, and GeekGold is their internal currency.
It is usually called GG on their site, hence I've decided to call it XGG on Ripple, respecting the ISO standard of using X?? to denote any non-national currency.
XGG is a traditional digital currency, meaning it is stored in their server, and created and destroyed more or less at will.

BGG freely allows users to exchange GeekGold either for hard currencies or for games, so opening this gateway won't break their community, it will simply be one more way for them to trade their gold.
Usually they trade with paypal USD, so if they come to Ripple they will have much less transaction fees, on the expense of having to set up an account at Bitstamp and one at Ripple itself.
I've already made some experiments trading BTC for XGG, using in-site auctions: 2012-01-19 2012-10-01. I've managed to collect only a very small sum, since apparently Bitcoin isn't very widespread among BGG users as of now.

While many users might not care, I've decided it's still a worthy experiment.

1. How does it work

1.1. In order to accept XGG in ripple, you have to trust the "XGG gateway" address rJQFX9CMwDHJ3NR1Lc86VoDNxVgBYFemGD for the amount you want to receive, or more

1.2. To get XGGs in ripple, you have to send me GeekGold on BGG, and provide me the ripple address where you want to receive them
1.2.1. my username over there is Lohoris

1.3. To move XGGs out of ripple, you have to send XGGs to the gateway, and link me you BGG account

1.4. before sending me anything, contact me with details via EMAIL <xgg@lohoris.net> (no private messages anywhere! only email please!)
1.4.1. you might try to PM me here or anywhere, but I might easily miss that

2. Fees

2.1. I'll warn you of any fee policy change at least 30 days before it becomes official

2.2. currently there are no fees

2.3. currently the minimum order to be processed is 32.00 XGG
2.3.1. GeekGold has 2 decimal units, hence any order should be rounded to the second decimal unit

Market

I'm not going to create a market, just act as gateway.
Maybe I'll feed it just with two small offers, later today.
While obviously you might exchange XGG with any currency you like, I think exchanging them with Bitstamp USD might be the best thing to do, since currently they are usually exchanged with Paypal USD.

Totally wrong.

Most bitcoin aficionados are amateurs, not professionals dealing in finance stuff. Hence they expect what is most reasonable irregardless of "status quo" in the outside world, and that is exactly constantly paying dividends. There's no reason not to do so, so they do it. I wouldn't trust to hold shares of a company if I wouldn't be getting any money for months. And most people would buy the shares just before the dividend payment, and sell them afterwards.

I strongly doubt that.

And how much are you paying for that, exactly?

Are "move" operations logged somewhere in the wallet or somewhere else?

If so, can the "move history" be retrieved, and how?

(just in case it wasn't clear, I'm talking about the command to move credits from one account to another, a.k.a. movecmd)

Oh thank you!

It would be nice, but I still can't access it...

No.
I asked my self this same question, and I got a very good answer.
The most compelling reason is that keeping your money there, they have your money and might decide to do anything with it (fractional reserve, closing your account, anything); you would thus cancel many of the pros of using Bitcoins in the first place!
Just grab a good e-wallet and use that instead.

Thank you! I'm puzzled why only you got it while the others gave random nonsense :/
I guess I'll have to ask somewhere else to get quality answers...

The standard bitcoind command line client.

Yeah, but that feature is exactly what I need to build a website... I mean, I would have to re-implement it from scratch anyway, so I'd rather not re-invent the wheel...

yeah that is exactly my "problem 2", thanks for understanding that.
I've reported it as a bug, hoping they do consider it a bug.

@davout: yeah, I'm doing a move there. It is "problem 1", listed in the opening post.
I've fixed it hacking bitcoind code, though.
