It seems to be working now, although, unlike any other chain, it's throwing hundreds of lines of text into the console.

OK, now when I try to get the block count I get:

~$ ggd getblockcount
146307

Which is the Bitcoin block count.  Isn't that wrong?  Man, I wish there was some documentation I could read.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I see.  So I need to add the -datadir parameter on the command line all the time, OK.

~$ ggd -datadir=/home/ama/.gg getblockcount
12605

Yep!  Finally!  I think it'd be very convenient to make all this information needed to run the daemon easily accesible to the newbies.  Thank you for all the help.   Smiley

Well, I think I'll put a bounty on a linux tutorial (win users can just download "Crutches" portability suite / PGUI and fire away), since I'm quite clumsy with them linuxes.

Hm, I guess 500 GG would be fair....

Ok,

Code:
~$ git clone git://github.com/Lolcust/GeistGeld
~$ cd GeistGeld/src
~/GeistGeld/src$ make -f makefile.unix
~/GeistGeld/src$ mv bitcoind ~/ggd
~/GeistGeld/src$ cd ~
~$ mkdir .gg

Extract bitcoin.conf from Config+Blockchain to .gg directory

In your favourite text editor, change
Code:
printtoconsole=1
to
Code:
printtoconsole=0

also change
Code:
rpcuser=xxxx
rpcpassword=xxx
to something appropriate,

then
Code:
~$ ./ggd -datadir=/home/<your-username-here>/.gg &

to check it's working:
Code:
~$ ./ggd -datadir=/home/<your-username-here>/.gg getinfo

That's what I did, I'm no expert!

Is there real interest in a blockexplorer-like site for Geist Geld?  Help me decide if I should set it up!     Grin

Yes: 16p7hr3nKhFrKz3qn2cg3Q3buEgr5yPnU9
No: 1H51nfR4V83dhy9niUZjjXigVVYeX14qZ9

0:0, so there doesn't seem to be neither real need nor interest in the blockexplorer for GG.   Grin

I think there is interest.
The problem is people don't like to pay for voting.
If you set up geist blockexplorer though, I would be glad to donate once it's up.
And maybe Lolcust can offer a bounty?

GEG added to http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/.  I hope it's useful.

I did it a few days ago already, actually before I set the blockexplorer up, hehe.

Thank you.  I didn't even think about adding a GEG donation address to the page, as I didn't add a Bitcoin testnet one.  They are testnets and the coins have no value, have they?

Geist only uses testnet folder due to legacy from multicoin.

OKAY THAT DOES IT Cheesy

I will change the default folder layout in the upcoming update (Don't worry, your "old" geist wallets will still reside in <datadir>/testnet so you could copy them over to new location and thus no ghost monies are expected to be lost)

Does that mean that GEG isn't experimental anymore?  Is it a "real" chain then?

It's still experimental, but it's real (in the sense there is an exchange in the works, and sooner or later pools) to the approximate extent (some) other alt-coins are "real"

BTW, what defines a "real" alt-coin ?

I don't know, I'm no expert!  But I'd say that if some people use it and take it serious, despite of what other people do, say, or think, it can be consider "real".  I thought that being experimental it was simply a testnet, without any real value.   I'm sorry, I've probably missinterpret the inicial posts where it was called experimental.
