I come here just for the free Ripples

Throw a rock into a pond then.  They will hold more value than this scheme.

You should get an address by going to www.ripple.com/client then you have to activate your account by persuading someone kind amd trusting to send you XRP.  You should then move some BTC that you own to Ripple, convert them to XRP and then of course pay back your original funder, plus a generous tip.

Of course, I am at that stage so if anyone would like to create some karma, please send me a few hundred XRP and I will of course pay you back!

rPHtEbMmjtdb3epZCBkWmkpesfejetuyAm is my Ripple address.

Many thanks

I have a Ripple account, with Ripples but don't know what to do with it :/

Do you ever conduct trade with anyone?  Ever buy anything?  Do you work for a living?

Any advice for a newbie trying Ripple? Huh

Thanks, in advance.

My opinion that Ripple will not live by three reason:

 1. No benefits for nodes to support the network. A few people will do it for free.

From the Ripple.com wiki:

Who will run validating nodes?
Quote
Anyone whose business relies on the network:
Gateways
Merchants
Arbitragers
Day traders
Anyone who wants to support currency choice:
Digital rights groups
Libertarian groups
Individuals
Anyone who wants to support the underbanked:
Organizations
Individuals
Anyone who wants to provide a public service:
Universities
Anyone who provides hosting services for open source projects

ie enough people that this, while in theory is a valid concern, isn't going to be much of a serious one.

2. OpenCoin holds almost all of XRP, it is impossible to put it in a circulation in fair way for to satisfy all of participant.

There's always going to be a way to satisfy some(at the cost of others) in distribution of wealth - this wealth distribution problem is not unique to ripple, and not even really unique to currency.  However you're correct in that if it's not distributed in a way that satisfies enough people Ripple will not succeed.  It does not have to satisfy all participants, however -- just enough of them.  Network effects and other factors will take care of the rest.

Quote
3. Too complicated for understand.

As far as the interface is concerned, that will be improved as more businesses get involved, and the server is released.  As far as Ripple itself...well maybe.  But then again, the internet and email is pretty complicated, but people figured those out.

The trust and liquidity providing features are also flawed.

This sounds like semantics.

Is it just me, or does it seem that one needs 300XRP to "activate" an account in order to buy more XRP.. I don't quite understand. I'm willing to convert some BTC into XRP (I have an empty account on ripple.com) but I don't see how to get started.

You may want to read https://ripple.com/wiki/Reserves

tl; dr you need a minimum amount of XRP to
* Start an account
* Create a connection to someone else
* Send a payment through the network.

It looks interesting, but I wish I knew how to use it!

Try villages.cc instead if you're having trouble with Ripple.com

If you can help it, don't use it soley as a means to get bitcoin.  Ripple is used better when it's used to actually manage things outside of money -- keeping track of who needs to chip in for coffee, and so on.  Don't put too much trust in anyone, including exchanges -- only trust what you would be willing to lose.
