Is anyone have this strange problem?
Every time i restart GUIMiner to mine solo GG, it changes the port to 8332.
Every time i change back it & saving.
Still when i starts again, the port changes back to 8332.
Only way for me is to change the port to 8777 in server.ini file itself.
Anyone getting this strange behavior?
I got it in both GG, GG-new & now also in GG-pack.

I did have this problem too back when I used GUIMiner.
Here is a simple workaround!
In the server dropdownmenu, set it to "other" instead of "solo".
Now you can change port number as you wish without this problem, and it sticks.
The "solo" settings make it revert to default bitcoin solo mining port.

Thanks.

I've updated it also at my Linux box and everything was fine.  I have then updated the daemon which feeds the block explorer (http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/) and it's still downloading the block chain, so the explorer is stuck at block 79024 at the moment.  Let's hope everything goes smooth and as soon as the daemon reaches there, the block explorer will show it automatically.

And here is the usability update, with a few tweaks to time windows and such.

http://www.geistgeld.org/getting-started.html

Expect exchange approximately after 50%+ users update their stuffs.

Now, some generalized notes

1) pretty please back up the wallet.dat before you do anything

2) New folder structure is

 Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\geistgeld
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/geistgeld
Unix: ~/.geistgeld

3) New config name is geist.conf

4) WALLET.DAT (the monies) AND OTHER DATA NOW RESIDES IN FOLDER geistdata INSIDE THE DATADIR

5) Windows users can just download the new Crutches bundle with all the configs in place, then copy the contents of Vital_Data\testnet into the Vital_Data\geistdata.

BAM! new life

(please verify your balance and the network operation before you delete the old portable bundle with its lonely old testnet folder Smiley

6) linux users can just make a folder .geistgeld, put their config and their geistdata (with wallet.dat and blockchain) there, and no longer bother passing the -datadir Cheesy

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.

Thank you!
Sent a little GEG donation.

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.

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 /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"

Yeah, there you go. Donation sent.

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?
