Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: alexkravets on February 27, 2013, 07:11:25 AM 1. Open account at bitstamp.net (fast and easy)
2. Fund it with some BTCs (fast and easy) 3. Click "withdraw" and choose ripple 4. Upon attempt to withdraw you'll be taken to a ripple page telling you to give trust to bitstamp's master key at least in the amount of your withdrawal. 5. Grant "bitstamp.net" and their master key enough BTC IOU trust. 6. Procede to withdraw bistamp's BTC IOUs into your ripple address. 7. Observe both XRP and BTC balances in your ripple account. The End. Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: bitcoinspot.nl on February 27, 2013, 12:08:01 PM Ok, maybe 2 stupid questions (because im obviously too lazy to read the ripple faq)
- Why should i use ripple - Why should i use ripple in combination with Bitcoin ? roland. Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: alexkravets on February 27, 2013, 10:11:59 PM Stupid questions are the best kind.
Answer: ripple creates a distributed order book for all currencies / assets (in ripple they are all IOUs tho, except XRPs of course ) If Ripple succeeds, the Bitcoins's what-happens-when-mtgox-goes-away problem is solved. Cheers ... Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: matthewh3 on February 27, 2013, 10:38:33 PM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145896.msg1564926#msg1564926
Why doesn't Ripple offer GBP/BTC pair its the third largest currency that BTC is traded in and if Ripple is targeting bitcoin users to get this project jump-started then it'd be a good thing to offer users. Also can anyone answer this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38711.msg1564551#msg1564551 - This might sound stupid but does anyone know how to withdraw GBP IOU's to Ripple from Bitstamp using BTC ??? What do you mean by "using BTC"? Can't you just simply withdraw GBP from you bitstamp wallet to your ripple wallet? I'm new to Bitstamp the fact they are a (GBP offering) Ripple trusted Gateway brought me there. Although it seems all funds not in BTC held at the exchange are held in USD. I could find no way to sell BTC/GBP only USD/BTC. Title: Re: Ripple Howto ?

Even USD/XRP pair has no trades in it yet... Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: Arvicco on February 28, 2013, 04:42:57 PM There are currently 4 active markets inside Ripple:
BTC/XRP bitstamp (most liquid) BTC/XRP weex (bigger spreads, but better deals sometimes) USD/XRP bitstamp USD/BTC bitstamp Trades happened in all these markets, and USD/BTC bitstamp is following MtGox price movements to a reasonable extent, even though spreads are not that good. All in all, Ripple gateway order books have good potential to develop into full-blown currency exchanges over time. Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: bitcoinspot.nl on March 01, 2013, 07:43:36 AM wow somehow i am just not ready yet to get my mind around the whole ripple thing.
If someone could make a "ripple for dummies" video or something like that, that would be great. roland. Title: Re: Ripple Howto ? Post by: BTCOnetime on March 01, 2013, 08:08:30 AM just went to the ripple site, Firefox was using 1gb of memory..... shady?
