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.

ggd -datadir=/home/ama/.gg getinfo
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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

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

Ok, ~$ 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 to also change rpcuser=xxxx rpcpassword=xxx to something appropriate, then ~$ ./ggd -datadir=/home/<your-username-here>/.gg & to check it's working: ~$ ./ggd -datadir=/home/<your-username-here>/.gg getinfo That's what I did, I'm no expert!

0:0, so there doesn't seem to be neither real need nor interest in the blockexplorer for GG. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 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.

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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 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)

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.
