I would've asked Tongue

You can always ask if anyone are willing to sell some to you Grin. (not me)

That's how pricesw increase.

If this was 2010, and the giveaway was in Bitcoin, would you also have had the same attitude; "Damned, I missed the train" or would you have been smart and ask if anyone was interested in selling their 5.000 Ripple coins for $2?

Ripples are a ponzi, and that's their saving grace, since everyone knows they pre-mined 100 billion of these - so ripples are the worst investment in the world - they don't want us to invest. They've made it explicit. 'Don't invest in ripples, invest in ripples and make us rich'. It's built into the system.
Ironically that's why ripple may succeed.



ponzi is not bad if you are in early
and good if you are in very early
but obviously i missed it by 10 days...

https://ripple.com/client/  >>  seem to freeze on loading, 'since forever on my side.
Any other place to create a ripple wallet?
(I admit, I didn't research much, 'other priority)

Apology to rush the 5 first message on this forum.
Frustrating to not be able to participate to post worthy of your time, in time.

All the best to all.

You don't "invest" in ripple, it's not a currency. It's a debt-tracker.

Exactly, but some people are confusing ripple with ripples (XRP) - XRP are worthless (edit: by design) - Ripple, on the other hand, is worth looking at.

Edit 2: this is my 666 post! open the champagne everyone

Hmmm ... interesting !
So, there is no point of buying/selling with XRPs (or XRP-IOUs) ? This is only used for transaction fees (and account / trust line creations) ?

Suppose now that someone starts a new Ripple network (once the server sources are released), what prevents him from giving away every 'XRP2' ?

I believe that Ripple is supposed to compete with Paypal and get rid of the long one-block confirmation of BTC.  One blobk in BTC can take over an hour (10 minutes is just average time). With Ripple the transaction goes through immediately. 

As for the value, it is anti-spam.  So, what is the BTC cost of transactiion for anti-spam?  (0.001 BTC?? I don't know)   Ripple should be the same.  If values stays low (as it is now), an attack will occur and require a increase in the fee to make attack costly to the attacker.

We'll just see how it all plays out.  Fun stuff!!!

why would even such a system be successful, wouldn't the minority that invest into alternative currency be intelligent enough to research before jumping?

Because ripples are not Ripple -ripples are just the mechanism of transaction.
They are worthless but enable you to move your real money anywhere in the world.

No...but from what I hear, you can buy crack with bitcoins. (Joke..but seriously you can) . I'm not sure what to make of this ripple thing yet tho...I won't go through the trouble until it has a decently large/growing user-base.

I wouldn't worry about it Wink

true. I think XRP will be in ample supply. Bitstamp and other gateways are likely going to be giving them out for free with account or whatever.

Limiting the giveaway is probably done to limit the amount of users using ripple at this point while the infrastracture is being tested / fixed / scaled up.

I have 50k ripples from the give away I'm willing to part with. Either 0.6 BTC or for 1,250,000 DVC will buy the whole lot.

XPR sold for 0.5 BTC
