What assures that I'll get the 0.4 BTC from you after paying the 40000 XRP?

Hi Newbies ,
if you trade inside the Ripple Trade System you do not have to Trust anybody to fulfill his promises.
I may even say you would get a little more than 0.4 BTC. I did.

What is the Ripple Trade System?

If you trust a ripple gateway you can trade your ripples in under the advanced tab under trade. There you have to fill the address of the gateway and then you can set orders.

That's correct, you can try to sell your XRP inside Ripple system, but you'll get paid with BTC IOUs, not real BTCs. So you'll have to figure out how to get it out of the system: gateways, trust and stuff. This is not very straightforward, but if you want to play with Ripple, by all means do so.

What I'm offering is a straightforward buy-in program. You get actual BTC to your wallet real fast.

It's not that hard. After you got your BTC IOUs , you can create or login in your Gateway Account ( Bitstamp or Weexchange) get a Ripple Deposit Address and then Send your BTC IOUs to them. From there they are real Bitcoins again ;-)

I cannot get my head around the fact people are paying BTC for a Transaction Currency who is meant to be used up in Creditlines. Ridiculous.

I just sent you close to 40k RXP. I hope you come through with your part of the deal.

EDIT: Arvicco came through with his part of the deal. I got the BTC.

Why not? I'm experimenting with it, so I'm willing to spend a bit of BTC to see how it works on a bigger scale. On the other hand, once the novelty effect wears off, there is no guarantee that anyone will be willing to pay BTC for this play money. So, now may be the best time to sell it while it lasts...  ;)

I agree with this. He's been legit with everyones deal and he just wants to experiment, so why bother him?

Sent XRP.  Just to let you guys know, Ripple won't let you send the entire 40K if that's all you have.  It will let you send 39,800.  Leaving you with 199.9999.  Just a heads up for anyone planning to do this.

[Edit] Arvicco promptly sent promised BTC approx 10 minutes later.  Man of his word.  Thanks, Arvicco.  I'd love to read about your findings/research once your done.  All these systems intrigue me, but the people who can manipulate them to their benefit intrigue me more.

Thanks, Arvicco!  I got my BTC, and I hope you enjoy the XRP.

To anyone else, getting the XRP took about a day.  Arvicco responded very fast and helped me figure out what my real Ripple address was when I made a mistake at first.  Ripple wouldn't let me send the last 200 of my XRP, so I got 0.398 BTC.

It's not Arvicco's stipulation it's the age limit imposed on the Ripple giveaway. It is to prevent people creating accounts just to amass Ripples.

Ah OK, that's a shame.  Is there any other way to acquire them at this stage?  ALSO, what happens to them as they get spent in transactions (1 XRP per transaction iirc?), do they simply vanish entirely?

From what I understand, XRP are given out in the millions to Ripple developers and people connected to OpenCoin. There are other public giveaways planned as well, but no one knows with certainty where and when.

100 billion XRP are in hands of OpenCoin right now, and they control the protocol for their creation and destruction. So, its hard to say how it will all play out in the end.

It's all a bit too closed for my liking.  The founders have donated 80 billion to OpenCoin - already there's alarm bells - they're keeping back a 20% stake of an entire economy for themselves?!

And then OpenCoin doesn't have a simple or fair way to share out the XRP, nor have they even pledged to distribute all of it, and yet there are even a couple of active gateways in place already?  How come I, for example, can't just go ahead and open mine?  It all seems stacked against the eventual users, which is a real shame as the overall concept is nothing short of brilliant.

Like with the founders of certain Bitcoin clones, I think their greed may be their undoing.

Yeah, there are definitely some red flags around Ripple at this point. But, if the system itself (not necessarily XRP) succeeds, it has a potential to complement and enhance the Bitcoin ecosystem in many ways. So, I wish Ripple to succeed, regardless of their founders greed or lack of thereof.

Re complementing and enhancing Bitcoin, yes indeedy!  Re their greed, maybe they deserve the reward, it can't have been easy to construct such an elegant framework.  The sooner the code (server included) and XRP initial seeding rounds are opened up the better.

I know you're in XRP buy mode but I don't suppose you could spare me a thousand (for a bitcent) so I can try it out with a few local buddies?

I read about ripple on wikipedia earlier and had alarm bells ringing when I saw this.

Note that the Ripple protocol itself wouldn't preclude a hierarchical payment structure evolving, it just allows for the possibility of other structures.

If it doesn't preclude a hierarchical structure then one will develop as surely as night follows day

I gave him all this information last night in a PM.  MY address I sent from, the address I sent it to and the amount.  I alos gave him the BTC Address for him to send to.

He should have received this by now.  The Ripple graph information, if you go to the URL has not been functional for weeks.

So yeah I waited more than 5 second, more than 5 minutes and more that 5 hours.

His response, was bogus.  Asking for a URL Link from a non functional page.

All he had to do is look at his history page to see the transaction.

Youre right, since he has been online today and trying to do business.
I also CANNOT vouch for op.
I CAN vouch for rubberduckie who i sold 40k xrp to for .6 btc at the time. Recieved btc within minutes.

I found Arvicco's service to be very friendly and helpful, and it looks like he's now more than doubled the rate he is paying, so I encourage people to keep exchanging with him.  It gets the ripples in the hands of somebody who will use them, and it gets you BTC.

Arvicco must have at least 1,000,000 XRP by now.

More than 5,000,000 as of now. Will probably stop my buy-in program soon...

Why do you want that many? Do you believe ripple to be the future?

Sounds good, will try in a bit.

Warning: this only works if your Bitcointalk account is older than 2013-02-19.

1) Make sure you are promoted to post outside of the Newbie ghetto.
2) Go to ripple.com and create a Ripple account.
3) Post your Ripple address here to receive free XRP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145506.0
4) Check your Ripple client for giveaway XRP to arrive.
5) Once XRP arrived, click "Send" tab, transfer your XRP to my address rnZoUopPFXRSVGdeDkgbqdft8SbXfJxKYh, confirm.
6) PM me on Bitcointalk with your Ripple address (to check the amount of XRP that you sent) and your bitcoin address.
7) I will send the appropriate amount of BTC to your bitcoin address as soon as I confirm your transfer. Normally, it only takes a few minutes, but in the worst case it may be a few hours if I'm away from keyboard.

I only need a limited quantity of Ripple XRP for my experiments. So I reserve the right to stop buying XRP once I get enough. Any transfers I get in excess of my needs I'll return to the sender at once.

-----------------------------------------
Current rate: 120,000 XRP per 1 BTC.
If you send me 29,800 XRP received in a giveaway (the system won't let you send the last 200), you'll get 0.2483 BTC.
You need to hurry though as either a Ripple giveaway or my buy-in program may stop at any time!

That's what OpenCoin insists on as a pre-condition for giveaway. For determined users, there are some creative ways around this though, use the search feature on the forums. ;) 

not sure what to search for :)  hints?

I'm curious if you're thinking that you'd PREFER XRP to BTC. If so, why is that? The only reason I can think of is that it's going to be a more liquid market, which is terrific, but XRP has much less time testing than what BTC does. It hasn't "proven" itself in the way that BTC has. In that regard, I think BTC is more "stable". Plus that, you can trade BTC for XRP at any time through your own Ripple Wallet...

Furthermore, I think Ripple has the capability to add XRP to the system at any time. Kind of the functionality of a central bank. Kind of counter intuitive to one of the main reasons crypto-currencies exist, IMHO.

Hi
I've just joined this forum. Just wondering if you can give me some advice. I signed up with ripple.com (and mtgox and btc-e). Can you tell me how I go about buying a few XRP just for a speculative punt? There's something on ripple.com about needing 300 Ripples to buy more, but it doesn't say how to get those first 300. Seems like a Catch-22.
