Well, this is my first time with Ripple too. Seems that I had missed their giveaway. If anyone can send me something to get started, I would be grateful

For some bitcoins I can send you some, cause ripples have gone up in value. PM me.

I have been hearing alot about Ripple, but I still do not understand what is going on. I hear from one side that Ripple is amazing and that I should invest, and then on the other, that Ripple is a scam. Which is it?

Just like bitcoin don't invest what you can't lose. A lot of people call ripple a scam cause unlike bitcoins it is run by a company out to make a profit. So people that hardcore bitcoiners take that as an automatic scam alert. It is more of an exchange that uses a different method to exchange. Instead of send the money first and then making the exchange. Ripple makes you send it to a gateway, they hold on to it like escrow you make trades and then when your ready to cash out of the ripple system it will then credit your bitcoin address or bank account or whatever. That is also why people call it a scam. Opencoin the company that runs ripple, which is open source and you can run your own gateway, was just backed by Google ventures. Also the the team has Jed who created Mt Gox back in 2010, and edonkey. So you have to make up your own mind and I gave you a very basic overview.

Gweedo,

That was really helpful, thank you!

Your welcome but do more research their is a lot more to it then what I said. Try the https://ripple.com/wiki/Main_Page.

Hello,

I'm new to this whole ripple thing as well. I'm trying to deposit btc into my ripple wallet, but I need 100xrp sent from someone before I can even grant any trusts. Any help would be much appreciated!

It is a very new system, no harm playing around with some XRPs, but don't dump your entire fortune into XRPs

. It is still Beta!

I would also like to play with ripple. It kind of sucks there are no fountains or anything, and you need 100XRP to get started. If anyone is feeling generous...

You can use bitstamp, to deposit btcs into ripple, then you can trade those btcs for XRPs a 100 Xrps should be very small amount if 10,000 XRP are going for ~1BTC.

Wow they're up this much? I dumped all but 350 XRP from my 50k for a little over 1 BTC months ago and felt really good. Why do people want to own these things? lol

Because XRP is not intended as something that will just hold value and raise -- it is required to make transactions on the ripple network. These transactions are valuable --- and not much xrp is needed to make them(however, some XRP is needed to make connections & have an account).

I think XRP are overvalued right now, that being said, but that problem'll solve itself as more of them are distributed.

As a developer, would love access to mess around with Ripple.

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it greatly!

Could I convince one of you or some other kind person to loan me 100XRP as well so I can get started? I'll send it back once I get my wallet set up. Thanks in advance!

Have just sent you 100XRP - don't send them back to me - please just "pay it forward" when your account is looking healthy.

Thanks!

I'll do it, but pls don't f*ck me! Just sent you 100 xrp ... my public address is rpgKWEmNqSDAGFhy5WDnsyPqfQxbWxKeVd ... pls send back! Thanks.

Your not going to get 100 XRP back your only getting 25 XRP because ripples requires an account to always have 75XRP to be active so you can't ever go below that level by sending all your xrps from one address to another.

Ok so it turns out he's right, Ripple will not allow me to send more than 50 XRP. Can I pay you in BTC for this? I'm sorry I didn't know this.

Or if now that I have the wallet activated I can buy some more XRP and send you your 100 back?? Let me know. How did you get yours?
