Awesome ama. Put up a donation address.

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

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

Yes: 16p7hr3nKhFrKz3qn2cg3Q3buEgr5yPnU9

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.

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//.gg &

to check it's working:

Code:

~$ ./ggd -datadir=/home//.gg getinfo

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

In .gg/bitcoin.conf change printtoconsole=1 to printtoconsole=0

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.

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....

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.

It's a multicoin fork, so it takes a lot of vital stuff (including Genesis block properties) from config.

I guess I will make that very explicit in first post and on site lol.

Use default config supplied with sources (though you might want to change rpc username and password)

Please do so. I don't think it's stated anywhere easy enough to find for someone new to the chain. I'd say it's kind of logical to think it works like all the other 5 popular chains, isn't it?

Hm, could you post the contents of the config you are using with Geist to www.pastebin.com ?

It's short enough to paste it here:

~$ cat .gg/bitcoin.conf
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password

I use equivalent files for all the *coin.

Well, that kills the Geist.

I don't have any port or rpcport set.

That is not normal, default Geist config should have both of those.

Geist is different in how it handles stuff from config (due to being a Multicoin fork) and thus some values (port, portlisten, ntp, enablefullretarget and many others) need to be there.

Please see "default" Geist config, it's in the Config+Blockchain folder that should have gotten fetched from Git, and also in the Git source's root

ProcessBlock: ORPHAN BLOCK, prev=0000000001c23469de6c

I have the log piped to a text file if you want it.

Please PM it to me

I took the generated bitcoind, moved it to ~ and renamed it. I'm calling it with

Code:

~$./ggd -datadir=/home/ama/.gg &

In your .gg/bitcoin.conf, check both port & rpcport.

Out of ideas...

I don't have any port or rpcport set. Somebody said before using a different directory would take care of that. I never set a port or a rpcport either for any of the other five chains. Is it necesary to do it for this one? If so, what are the port and rpcport numbers for it?

I think there is interest.
The problem is people don't like to pay for voting.

Well, it wasn't really voting. As someone said, nobody could find any reason to vote for no. It was more of a funny way of asking for donations to set it up.

A bounty would be motivating, since simply getting the daemon to run seems to te to be orders of magnitud more complicated than running the other *coins.
