does someone have a GeistGeld for ubuntu 11.10 64bit binary avalable ?
GG is more of a proof-of-concept and toy for bleeding edge ideas. No currency to be used for shopping. I already gained a lot by merge-mining GG. Not in $ or BTC, but in knowledge about that whole crazy mining, mergemining, protocols and real-life obstacles.
There seem to be a low number of active nodes, not? A pitty!

I like GG but the problem is there seem to be no value left. No point mining when you can buy tons for 1 BTC
Or you could stop using it altogether...
Which appears to have happened. GG will be dropped from vircurex on April 14th.

In just a few days the GG wallet's memory consumption went up from 1.5GB to 2GB. Something is happening in the chain, no way of being able to support it under these circumstances.
An ever increasing number of games, since unlike most game-currency this is one the players can take home with them so they can take in to another game.

Why would the developers of the "another game" want that?
Still Bitcoin is equally good as a game currency and has the advantage of not being a dead currency.

It seems to work fine with merged mining, so I am still mining it alongside bitcoin, namecoin, groupcoin, devcoin, ixcion, i0coin and rucoin.
It looks like it should be quite useful as a game-currency.

The GG wallet is currently using 1.5GB memory on my Linux machine. Can someone adjust the code to reduce the memory consumption drastically otherwise it becomes unfeasable to run it in the near future.

I've been merge mining GG with my p2pool and have been getting blocks although the number has dropped significantly in the past day or two. Two connections and currently at block 1016444.
I sort of have a block explorer running for GG. It hasn't updated GG in a few days now since I had to move GG off to another box due high loads causing problems with p2pool mining.
Edit: I'm starting to think looking at the numbers that I've not received any credit in the last 24 hours as well. Updating my block explorer for GG to find out what's going on.

I am merge mining GG with around 200Mh/s. In the last 24h the balance reported by geistgeld-d getinfo didnt change at all. Blockcount does rise though (1016131). Diff is 0.936. Two connections. Whats up with that?
Also, The miner (cgminer) reports full speed, but p2pool merged mining randomly stays between 20 and 150 Mh/s. Which might or might not have anything to do with GG.
So, is GG still fully working? Is there a blockexplorer? I guess it takes the 120 confirmations for geists to be shown in -getinfo? Which should take less than half an hour anyway..

Can someone give me a linux Geist Geld binary, I cannot get it to compile...
Does GG use GPU mining or CPU mining?
GPU, so yes you will lose money mining it ....

Not really, namecoin and litecoin is still doing quite decently.
I guess thats the fate of most alt-chains these days.
But the prices has dropped to near worthless 
It still does.
