Title: Missed out on Ripple!
Post by: nwbitcoin on February 21, 2013, 11:00:29 PM
I just signed up to this forum and find out I was around 24 hrs too late to get me some Ripple currency for free - so, would anyone like to send me some, please?

Thanks! ;)

There will be other Ripple fountains.  The reason they drew a line with regard to the account age is so that people can't just make a ton of new accounts and get multiple disbursements.  Nobody knows (except possibly an admin/mod) whether you already have another account on this forum.

Thanks for putting my mind to rest.

I've not found out how many ripples there are, but I would assume its loads , so yes, I'll just wait! ;)

Is there a history of new currencies popping up every now and again and doing similar give aways?

100 billion I believe is the amount of ripples :P

It happens occasionally, Litecoin has been giving away for quite a while now.

I got 50k ripple ^,^

I'll sell you 10k for .5 BTC

Now this is interesting - could this be the first free market valuation of ripple XRP currency?

Rather than than give you 0.5 BTC for 10K, will you sell me all 50K for 0.5 BTC?

Alternatively, I will buy 10k for 0.1 BTC

let me know what you think?

10k is 0.00001% of the total Ripple market. Based on that, you're evaluating Ripple at 5 million Bitcoins..or over $150 million...
My evaluation is quite a bit more pessimistic I'd say...I'll buy up all 50k at 0.001 Bitcoins.

You can always ask if anyone are willing to sell some to you ;D. (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?

Thank you, you saved me from maki8ng this exact post, even if I think you are way too optimistic.,

Ha :D

Meh, I figured at 0.001 for 50k I'm evaluating Ripple at 2000 Bitcoins for their entire market. They have a pretty site and they're trying to develop a user base, so I figured I'd throw 'em a bone with a high eval :P


Title: Re: Missed out on Ripple!
Post by: nwbitcoin on February 22, 2013, 07:05:52 PM
The mentality where you price something on its potential is dangerous and what creates bubbles.

Its value should be based on now. 

For me, I have a couple of bitcoins and while I would like to imagine that one day they will be worth $3k a piece, the reality is, its unlikely in the next few years.

.1 of a Bitcoin is £1.70 or so, and that's worth wasting on 50k ripples - that is half the price of a McDonald meal - I can afford it!

So, who is going to sell me some at this price?

I tried to send you a bit, but it says the transaction failed "The destination account does not exist. Too little XRP sent to create it."

The minimum reserve for an account is 200, and I believe you need to send 300 to create an account. Really, you should send more, because 300 is only the bare minimum – it's enough for an account, one trust relation, and transactions.

I also missed the deadline by a whisker. Frustratingly, gateways like Bitstamp cannot fund your account unless you trust them, but you cannot trust anyone until your account is funded(?!) I need a way to get past this barrier or my Ripple account is frozen and useless.

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


Title: Re: Missed out on Ripple!
Post by: molecular on February 26, 2013, 09:21:07 AM
I wouldn't worry about it ;)

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.

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.

Post by: dancupid on February 26, 2013, 04:41:01 PM
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.


Title: Re: Missed out on Ripple!
Post by: aznmonky on February 26, 2013, 04:43:44 PM
why would even such a system be successful, wouldn't the minority that invest into alternative currency be intelligent enough to research before jumping?

Post by: dancupid on February 26, 2013, 04:52:38 PM

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.

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


Title: Re: Missed out on Ripple!
Post by: numberbit on February 27, 2013, 01:16:06 AM
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!!!

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' ?

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.

Ah, I missed out too. Would really like to try some and see how it works. Why do we even need 300xrp to start...

If someone is kind enough, would you please donate to:

Hi everybody :) I know I am way late to posting here, but I don't know of another way of asking... aka begging I guess, to get into the ripple network. I would love to try out the system with my bitcoins, but I need ripples before I can ever think about it. I have been waiting since I signed up on their website on the 13th for any hope, but got nothing so far... I know everybody and their mother is trying to get their hands on ripples, and that stinks, because since they have put the reserve of xrp as a requirement... I need some too... here is to hoping someone would be kind to a complete stranger  ???

Hi would-be and current Ripplers, I'm in the process of opening a store online that only accepts Bitcoin, I'm very curious about adding Ripple to the mix. I'm eager to test it out, happy to bounce some back and forth, if anyone wants to help me get started experimenting please see the below collection plate. Many thanks!

Guys, please click on the link in my signature and educate yourselves about Ripple.

Its a coin that has no mining - all XRP was issued by a for-profit company named OpenCoin which has many employees and people here on BTCTalk they pay to promote what is essentially a giant ponzi scheme.

The owners sell their XRP for BTC and profit, and when the whole thing collapses, you dont want to get left holding the bag.

It's my understanding that Ripple is actually more of a distributed exchange than a cryptocoin; it doesn't matter much how much the XRP is worth, it is supposed to be just a temporary state between two different coins, and since the transfers are usually pretty quick, regardless of how much it is worth before and after, when you transfer money to someone, other than the transfer fee, there is no loss. You shouldn't be holding any more XRP than you really need.

You only need about 50 Ripples to get started now, instead of 300 but I'm sure that was pointed out above.  I'll be happy to send 50 ripples each to the first 10 people who ask for them here.   I'm also buying Ripples and here is my thread for that:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190456.msg1972861#msg1972861

I also encourage people to open an acct with Bitstamp and easy to get $ in your Ripple acct through there to buy more.  It took me awhile to figure that out.   But you can easily send BTC to Bitstamp and then convert those to USD if you want or just put them in your Ripple acct and use them to buy more XRP.  I recommend having at least 1000 of them in your account if you want to do a lot of trading.

Post by: Razick on June 01, 2013, 07:40:03 PM
The mentality where you price something on its potential is dangerous and what creates bubbles.

Its value should be based on now. 

For me, I have a couple of bitcoins and while I would like to imagine that one day they will be worth $3k a piece, the reality is, its unlikely in the next few years.

.1 of a Bitcoin is £1.70 or so, and that's worth wasting on 50k ripples - that is half the price of a McDonald meal - I can afford it!

So, who is going to sell me some at this price?

:)

Future expectations are accounted for in price in any free market economy. If suddenly people found out that next month the world's supply of water would dwindle to enough only to support half the global population, the price would increase immediately, not next month.

If you are a developer (i.e. you write code), you can sign up for development updates--I did.  I am betting that at some point they will be giving away ripples to developers to encourage them to build client applications for ripple; and they will probably send instructions for the giveaway to those who sign-up for email updates.

Is there a client wallet app for ripple yet, or is all hosted online?

I see a server UI on github, but that's about it.

I'd like a few to clink together myself, but am not sure if I should get an online wallet or wait for a client I can use locally.

I'd like to quote dancupid and myself. (this was 2013)

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.

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

I was quite wrong, I have to admit: you can invest in ripple. Just make sure you know what you're doing. There is a huge premine and XRP are only meant as "spam prevention token" to enable the IOU-based functionality (trade, transact, exchange,...)

You will see multifold profit soon in an year.. its going reach 10$

Do not be so confident about the profits from Ripple. Do not forget that this is banksters product, and one day they will want to cash out profits. Then only the lucky ones will be able to jump out before the price crash..  8)
