what's the best way to store ripples? is there a ripple offline wallet like for btc? or is rippletrade the safest way? thank you

AFAK there is no offline wallet for XRP. Rippletrade wallet is the safest one at this stage, coz it`s a California based trusted company. But after 1st of April they are deactivating users` wallets and trading on their platform.  

thanks for your answer, so if they are deactivating users wallets though where else can I store my ripples? I have them on cryptsy and would like to move them (well, if crypsty lets me to it of course :))

What do you need to keep your Ripples anyway?

Is the secret key enough?

With Bitcoin, all you need is the private key to access your coins.

That said, if you don't trust online services with the safety of your XRP, can you create your own address where only you know the secret key?

yes I don't need to keep them, is what you are talking about something like a paper wallet? would you have a link to some guide on how to do that? thank you

Ripple company has strike a deal with Gatehub.net - a UK based company. Most of the users are migrating their wallets to gatehub.net. U can store your XRP with them.

U can also store your XRP on Poloniex, Bittrex and on other exchange platforms. Check the list here: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#markets

But as MtGox and Cryptsy history have shown, no exchange platform is more sure than your own desktop wallet.

Ripple trade is its official wallet. I trust it as trusting ripple. No other third party exchanges hold ripple for me. OP, if you are obsessed about the paper wallets, you can cash it out to bitcoin.

Maybe, but they require you to not only supply a phone number for verification, but also a copy of your passport or similar.
If MtGox/Cryptsy/Whatever other exchange has taught anything, it's that you do not want this sort of information in the hands of such a company.

A wallet under your personal control is the safest way to store any cryptocurrency; with every other option there is the chance that a 3rd party has control over your coins.

If it is not possible to use a standalone client to manage your XRP, it's pointless to bother about it.

1. Cryptsy will not allow you to cashout your XRP. I had to convert to another coin to cash out, and this was months ago. I sent an email to support in 2015 and I got this email 13 days ago:

"Currently we are experiencing problems with our withdrawal system.
If you place a withdrawal for BTC LTC DASH BTCD and a few other coins, you may experience delays.

You will receive notice once we have resolved this problem

If you would like to cancel a withdrawal, please create a "new" ticket and choose "Cancel Withdrawal"
from the ticket type.

Please see http://blog.cryptsy.com/ for current and future updates.

We appreciate your patience while we resolve these issues.

Sincerely,
Cryptsy Customer Service"


2. Yes, you only need your secret/private key to access your XRP on the Ripple network: Your public key starts with an "r" your secret key starts with an "s". However, Cryptsy doesn't issue wallets so you don't technically own XRP, you own Cryptsy XRP IOUs:  https://ripple.com/knowledge_center/password-recovery-and-your-secret-key/

3. Yes, you can create a cold wallet: see http://www.xrpchat.com/topic/995-poll-developers-how-much-do-you-know-about-ripple-rcl/#comment-8784 and http://www.xrpchat.com/topic/1059-viewing-a-cold-wallet-balance-in-block-explorer/#comment-9388

4. Gatehub.net and Bluzelle.com both offer Ripple wallets. Kraken and Poloniex offer IOUs. However, the security at Kraken is top notch, your XRP are unlikely to be "lost" or stolen from Kraken. You can also create XRP wallets on RippleSingapore and some of the Asian exchanges/gateways.

Cryptsy is an example why I don't trust online wallets.

I looked into it a bit and stumbled over https://github.com/yxxyun/ripple-client-desktop/releases

You can create a new address and secret key on an air-gapped system with it (and it seems you don't need the wallet.txt at all).
Plus, you can do transactions too with it, what makes you independant from a 3rd party.

If you have XRP stored with such a 3rd party, you could create a new address/key pair and transfer them there.

As far as I know there are no (useful) offline wallet for XRP. Storing your coins on exchanges is quite risky (e.g. Cryptsy ) so I wouldn't recommend that. I think the officially recommended site is your best choice.

Minimalist Ripple client, runs in your browser.

Secrets are handled client side:

Source code:

If you don't trust GitHub you can download it and run it in your browser yourself.

This product is not from Ripple and is not supported.

I've been looking at the above.  No decision yet.  Anybody else using it?  Reviews?  Issues?

Personally I keep XRP on https://www.kraken.com/

XRP/Ripple does need a better Exchange/Wallet network.  If it gets it, you'll see upward motion come along with it.  If not, then this is a patient hold with hopefully rewards for the faithful.   I'm beginning to think that XRP/Ripple may always be primarily a "bank/exchange" accessed coin though.  It seems like that is the plan.  But that could do it if just one major bank starts putting it out there as a currency alternative, then more would follow.  A matter of time IMHO.

https://steemit.com/gatehub/@cmbartley/gatehub-brief-overview-of-ripple-vs-hosted-wallets

I keep my ripples on poloniex since I bought from there

Does anyone have experience with the Ripple Desktop Wallet/Cold Storage (I have installed, transferred XRP to it).

Is this a Ripple supported application? If not whose app is this?
Is this for use for long term cold storage?
Is this a secure method for XRP storage, e.g., security, what happens if the application is no longer supported?
Is there any documentation for use?

I store my ripples on kraken. For me it is easy, you have a wallet there and you can trade there when you want 8)

I do not want to keep XRP in an exchange because of security and privacy concerns. I much prefer a cold wallet.

WHAH would you want to sto' this shit?  Y'all flush anything of equal quality rite down the commode.

Ripple is fo' exchangin' on ova ta bitcoin.  Ripple is fo' gettin' drunk.  What Ripple ain't fo' is storin' in a wallet.  That's a shOW way of losin' yo britches.

so, How do you plan to do it? because there is no exits today

smart trader.... one day when price is boom! o shit! wallet on maintance in exchange, :P because shit hapends, be prepared, no risk no nothing.

Y can use Wipplex wallet at http://www.wipplex.net/

First time I hear about this Wipplex wallet, be careful.
Are you the author, is it open source?


For a list of trusted wallets see this list:
https://www.xrpchat.com/links/

I would never trust any of my cryptocurrencies inside of an exchange.  ;D

If you want your money to be stored securely, put it inside of a personal wallet. Plain and simple.

Is there any wallet for XRP now? I don't want to send my personal documents to gatehub.net. I am looking for something without that.

Great question. A wallet without KYC that is currently supported

check:
https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/4063-popular-wallets/

GateHub is too invasive

Verifying Who You Are.

GateHub will do everything we can to respect and protect the privacy of our customers. However, we are required to first verify who you are, and make sure you are not using the Site for illegal transactions, or terror financing.

For the purpose of verification we will collect the following kinds of identity documents from you:

Photo ID – Drivers License, National Identity Card or International Passport.
Proof of address – Utility bill, bank statement (Issued within last three months).
After this "verification" by GateHub (which many customers say is much like a identity colonoscopy), our customers will be able to trade currencies using their own Ripple wallets natively on the Ripple network.

ok but there are a lot of others wallets in the link I posted.

But I don't find a single one (desktop)  that I can trust. e.g., backed by Ripple maybe.

Ripple desktop wallet was developped by Ripple but is no longer maintained.
https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client-desktop

The gateway Rippex forked it, a lot of people use it including me.

Thanks

Do you know anything about the Ripple Desktop Wallet? It seems to function well but is it supported? Is this the old Ripple Wallet?

yes it is the old official ripple wallet, as I said it's no longer maintained, Rippex forked it and keep it updated:
https://rippex.net/carteira-ripple.php#/

Thread on Xrpchat:
https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/2334-desktop-wallet-141/

Source:
https://github.com/rippex/ripple-client-desktop

and btw you don't need any of that if you just store XRP on Gatehub.

What do you mean by that? I can buy Ripple on Poloniex, transfer it to Gatehub and transfer it back after one year without account veryfication?

of course, it's like Polo you only need to KYC when you deal with FIAT money (USD/EUR).

Managed to access my old ripple balance from when I was mining for ripples way back when.. I only did it for a few days and managed $125 worth of ripple by today's price. Should have kept that thing running for a few months or more. Oh well.

I had my secret key saved in an encrypted text file.. as long as you got that you're good.  

Hi Guys,

just installed this wipplex, sent ripples to it
the transaction was made, no XRP whatsoever in my account
transaction ID 6D9208929DC4A223EE9659F2E678DD4764464789EAB026501CBE90A4DF87709F

so I dont know who made the mistake, I sent bitcoins to exchange for ripples at https://changelly.com/
it says the money was sent, when we check in the chain after this transaction, shows something
however when searching for my wallet number, says account not found
wallet: rhqtJ3vrv8Bs3jz5SKwE41AQUfQtMSSnY7

seems I lost 10 xrps to somebody, glad its cheap

cheers

Marco

You need to send at least 21 XRP (20 XRP + transaction cost) to activate a wallet.

"This transaction failed with a status code of tecNO_DST_INSUF_XRP, and validated in ledger 29608742 on May 8, 2017 9:33 AM."

Also as I wrote in a previous post, I've never heard of this "wipplex" wallet before so be careful.

If you want a trusted wallet you can use the wallet from the gateway Rippex:
https://rippex.net/carteira-ripple.php#/

Hi, thank you very much for this info.

So if i deposit more ripples, do you think would the first deposit sumup and be available, or I just lost these ripples?

I will take a look in this wallet too.

Cheers,

Marco

I like the idea of having it offline like myetherwallet.com. will try this one to store my XRP on it. Does this offer back in case my computer will be corrupted by viruses?
I have reinstalled an OS twice already due to viruses just this year alone.

I have read many about XRP. It is a good coin. Try to find a good wallet to hold xrp for a long term. Good luck to everyone who are holding xrp

i keep mine on bitstamp,

no where else really to keep them, i trust bitstamp a little, but i havent used them for a long time,

i have 1,500 coins on bitstamp,


im just looking to make a quick profit, dont really care about ripple that much



hopefully they dont steal my ripple if it skyrockets in price

I think to save a safe ripple only in Bittrex, because I think it's safe to save the ripples you have, but if you ever open Bittrex with HP do not ever use other people's wifi, because if you use someone else's wifi, you might be at risk. The loss of ripple that you have and be the target of others with wifi you ever use.

Ledger Nano S hardware wallet is adding Ripple support (https://twitter.com/LedgerHQ/status/864395677475930112) soon!

https://bitcoinnewsmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/screenshot-twitter.com-2017-05-17-16-48-54.png

This is good news

Jaxx.io also announced they will add ripple soon.. https://twitter.com/jaxx_io/status/867829439773659136

I wouldn't trust it..


And JAXX announced they would add Monero too.
Later they bailed on the idea with excuses.

So..

The future of "Big Banks" is bright  :D

Hi
I want to buy Ripple for long term storage.
I still cannot understand how I can have a safe online or offline ripple wallet...
Safety is my priority (example I don t want to store ripple on an exchange)
What I would like is it to be safe AND to be able to backup it if my computer is stollen or something
Thank you for your help, I just want a Ripple address and access to it.. safe!! thanks

The hardware wallet Ledger Nano S now supports XRP.

There is a backlog on orders though, current estimated shipping date is July 16.

I notice majority of ripple holder here just used exchange to store their wallet which is not recommended by all crypto users and there's no offline wallet either so I guess you need to sell your ripple when there is a chance to make a profit since there's no reliable storage to keep it.

Thanks guy
For the Ledger I want to buy now
So , nobody yet found me a solution.
Again i would like safe storage, please can you help me to get an address and the wallet? I understand nothing.
Also this must be backupable, if i use a software on my computer, i need to be able to restore my ripples if my computer is lost or stollen.
I want to buy some urgently (on shapeshift, from bitcoin)
Thanks for your help

Hi
Maybe I can use https://jatchili.github.io/minimalist-ripple-client/
Is it secure? Is it offline or online...?
Also how to use? All I want is a ripple adress and access to it. I just want to receive ripples. I don t need to send or what . Thanks!

Hi
I found those :
https://www.bithomp.com/create
http://ripplepaperwallet.com/

If I save safely the private key.

Then can I give my adress to someone , then everything fine, I will have forever access to the coins?

Thank you!

Hi
Please can someone help and answer my previous message?
Also I would like to give my address in private (I know I could give it here), can someone tell me if coins are really in my wallet? How to transfer then? I only have my wallet address and private key.
Thanks all for your help

You can share your Ripple public wallet address with anyone (start with a r...)
Never share your secret key (start with a s...) it gives direct access to your funds, store it somewhere safe (print it).

Remember you need to deposit at least 20 XRP to activate a wallet.

https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/4063-popular-wallets/

Just convert any cryptocurrency to XRP and send at least 20 XRP to your wallet it will activate it.
You can also create a wallet on https://gatehub.net/ if you verify your phone number they should activate your wallet (you don't need to send documents to trade cryptos).
Check XrpChat link I posted above, there are other ways to activate a wallet.

Why does the Ripple team not develop an official Ripple wallet for desktop?

There seems to be quite an order backlog on the Ledger Wallet everywhere due to high demand, have you checked the retailers based in India for prices/postage costs?

https://www.ledgerwallet.com/retailers

Today, Ripple has the 4th largest Market Cap (USD8 Billion +) and no desktop wallet that I can find. Is there a technical reason why the devs can't develop a desktop wallet?  I imagine a lot of potential investors would be put off by this...

No. I would be mostly non technical: regulation and the possibility that man with guns come to shut them down.

you can keep your ripples online with some trusted sites including; bitterex.
the dev team now has a desktop wallet  as well
link to download the wallet:https://rippex.net/carteira-ripple.php#/ (https://rippex.net/carteira-ripple.php#/)

What is the connection between the Ripple developers and this wallet?

you can get alot of info on the ripple forum.they have an open source code at github and this wallet is powered by them

Actually there are including XRP is also able to store wallets offline but in my opinion will add panic later because there are also obstacles that can happen anytime and could be self-defeating. I suggest better save in online only

Ended up using Gatehub because they completed the verification process faster than Bitstamp.
Gatehub took 3 days, while Bitstamp took 6, and customer service was slightly better at answering my concerns during the verification process (opened my account last month).

Great, now there is some progress with a desktop wallet. Windows 64 bit and 32 bit. Probably best to see what ppl say about it in the ripple forums before using. Or just buy a Nano S.

I use gatehub to keep my ripple. U can try

When I first register on gatehub they gave me 20 ripples after it, not sure what it is for but glad its there adding on my account. I don't know if they are still giving such bonus upon registration but its quite interesting they are giving it away when its price is constantly rising.

Is there an official wallet for ripple yet? I don't like to use gatehub because of privacy concerns.

I haven't had problems storing Ripple on a Ledger Nano S. It was supported as of a few months ago and is a lot better than on an exchange.

The problem is that I don't have enough funds right now to buy a Ledger Nano S. so I would appriciate if someone can tell me a safe and trusted Desktop wallet to store ripples because I have been a victim of scam eth wallet before and I don't want it to happen in ripples.

so far i can not found any ripple wallet beside on the market and i think it will safe if we keep in the exchanges as long as we secure our account. but i am too curious about the dev, why they don't have any wallet like the other wallet and why they don't trying to create one desktop or android wallet so we can move our ripple into the wallet. but so far i am fine with this and if in future there is a wallet for ripple, i want to download it and installed it in my computer or my cellphone then i can send my ripple to that wallet.

gatehub not working in safari? or its platformwide problem?

Dont work for me on mac safari.

Is there other options for ripple offline wallet ?

When choosing a wallet you need to understand the differences. Cost is the main factor that the user pays attention to in the selection process. Bitcoin doesn't need to pay anything but Ripple insists on having 20 XRPs. When you decide to refill your wallet for 1000 XRP please note that 20 XRP will be used for booking the address. For this reason, people refuse to use several wallets for XRP (even if necessary). To save money  do not rush from side to side. It is better to immediately choose the best option for your wallet.

Try ledger nano s it supports various altcoins in the market,i wont recommend to use trezor its bulky and has more price than ledger nano s.

I have been using the desktop wallet now for about 6 months it functions as you would expect and allows you to hold your XRP under your own private key. Only thing to note is they impose a 20 XRP charge to create your wallet first time.

This thread kind of makes me want to sell my Ripple (XRP) right away. I currently hold Ripple (XRP) in my Bittrex account and I was looking for the Ripple wallet when I came across this thread. I have been slowly moving my money from Ripple into Stellar (XLM) simply because the information on the website is more clearly presented, a lot more information on how the company plans to move forward, and now finally the wallet. I figured having the same founder that Ripple would have a decent wallet, seeing that Stellar's wallet is fantastic. At least this thread lets me know I wasn't crazy when I couldn't find a XRP wallet for the desktop. I still don't understand all the hype around Ripple. I waited almost a year for it to get to a dollar while all these other coins went to the moon, now it's doing the same thing at $1.00 that it did at $0.20. Up 20% by coinmarketcap and Ripple, yet it always seems to be down versus the US Dollar. Ripple just seems like another bank with some shady practices looking out more for institutions than individuals. Developing a desktop wallet for individual users would seem like a top priority to me, given the popularity of Ripple among investors. I will probably hodl on Ripple until the New Year, it just seems like a coin that banks are going to use to cut your wait time for deposit holds down from 10 business days to 5 business days, while Bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency on the market is pretty much instant. That's just my take on the whole matter.

Yeah it is pretty weird. Why don't the Ripple devs provide a wallet? So there is no way to actually hold your own private keys to your XRP?
That is bizarre.

How about this, is it a good one?
https://multiwalletpro.com

I keep my XRP on bittrex since I bought from there. You have a wallet there and you can trade there when you want. It is very convenient.

Keeping Ripple is a problem. Ripple was made and it is owned by a private company.
I find it strange but you have to pay 20XRP for the wallet, which brings extra money to the company.
This is the reason why the investors keep them in the exchange's wallet.
If you trust the exchange you use, you can do it too, I don't, because they can be hacked and you can lose your money and your investment.

I used gatehub and have problem with verification. Ripple is supported by Ledger hardware wallet. It is better to store your ripple in hardware wallet than exchanges.

Well , I want to buy some Ripple , I create one account on Binance and I think I use this exchange site to hold my XRP some months ..

offline hardware wallet - nano ledger s.

Worst idea ever  :) at any moment exchange site can go bankrupt, get hacked or a million other things can happen that will affect it and you will instantly lose everything.

Keep at the exchange only what you intend to day trade or short term trade, everything else should in personal private wallet.

If there has no been major changes in last 2-3 weeks, you information is incorrect.
You don't have to pay for ripple wallet. It's completely free. However in order to prevent users from creating ten or more wallets for one person, ripple has set a minimum deposit that you need to start using your wallet, which is or was at the time when I was creating (25 ripple). This was reduced from 50 ripple. It was reduced because ripple price increased. In future I believe it will be reduced or removed again when ripple price will be higher.
In short, you don't have to pay for ripple wallet, it is just a little bit more complicate to start using it and then to delete it and get your deposit.

You don't have a wallet there, bittrex has ripple wallet and you can trade the amount you transfer there. But to say that you have ripple wallet there is incorrect. Bittrex can at any moment trade and withdraw your coins as they are the owner of all coins wallets. Plus they can get hacked and so on. Keeping coins on exchange as a place to store your coins is very bad idea. If you trade them then it's a completely different story.  :)

Does they take this 20 coins as a fee? Or you can use this amount? Is it possible to withdraw the whole funds frow ripple official wallet to exchanges?

I dont wanna gift my money to them, and i dont wanna give them my id and other documents, and as i know they can ban all your bills if they wants, so i dont like to have this risk, it is a not decentralised system, and if u look carefully their site, u can see who stand behind this project, big daddys who want to control the market and the whole world.

You can use Exodus cryptocurrency wallet That one best desktop wallet for more Ripple Wallet you can Find here (https://coinkir.com/ripple-wallet/).
