Ripple is up - It seems

[Benson Samuel]

But requesting a username and password.

Is this something only for the beta users?

It says it at the bottom of the page, you have to send them an email to sign up for beta testing.

[Benson Samuel]

Thats right.

I have got the login now.

Looks darn good so far.

[Bendur]

Nice find. I will be watching ripple's development with interest.

[HostFat]

It's open "beta" now, no more password required.

You should probably ask that here: https://ripple.com/forum/

In any case, I think here are the answers you're looking for: https://ripple.com/wiki/Main_Page

I managed to create a test account at ripple.com but I don't see any way to tell it about a currency, it just has a list of ones someone else already invented, which does not include most altcoins - in fact it doesn't list any of the altcoins.

I thought this was supposed to be generic so one could even tell it about shares and community currencies and so on and create trust pathways denominated in them?

Also it has an option to have someone send you ripples but the link to email asking for some has no email address to send the email to.

They want to support custom currencies but it's not a priority for development right now:

You need xrp in your account to do ANYTHING. You can ask for some here: https://ripple.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5
Maybe #ripple at freenode is faster.

I also cloned the github repo of the client but its README says nothing aboyt how to build it and there is no obvious build system such as a Makefile or a buld tool's .xml file or anything really giving any clue how to build it.

I tried pointing a browser at its index.html but none of the links on that seem to do anything.

So any idea how to build the client or if its already built being a script language not a compiled language thus maybe just needed something to tell it where to build its data files or something? Could it maybe even just be a permissions thing due to root owning the git clone in /usr/src whereas browser is run by a normal user or should it look in browser user's homedir by default? Or what? Anyone manage to get it to work? If so how?

Yes, I tried that, but the step where you run grunt aborts, even with sybolic links put in place to make the grunt.js file also be regarded as Gruntfile.js or as Gruntfile.coffee as the latest versions of grunt apparently want.

Code:

grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.6)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:
