Title: Has anyone actually received any XRP recently?
Post by: bootlace on April 17, 2013, 04:56:47 PM
I see people keep posting in the Ripple giveaway thread but despite posting my address there weeks ago, I have not received anything. I currently can't test out any of Ripple's features and can't understand this incompetence by the Ripple team. They 'premined' 100 billion XRP and promised to give away (only) half of it, but even now at this initial stage they seem stingy on giving it out to early adopters wanting to test the system. So what's going on, do they not have 10 minutes per day to manage this one link they have with the outside world (that giveaway thread)?

If anyone has a spare 300 XRP, my address is rDpYiMPkgyUxwHLjZc9VcJuseK2DffHPkc .

I cannot agree more with what you just said... Shouldn't they at least do what they promised?

Yes. I posted in there a few days ago and received the XRP last night.

Anyone whose Bitcoin Forum account was created before February 19, 2013, 18:45 UTC, is eligible to receive XRP

Your account is too young.
They do what they've promised, I got mine. You can't complain about them not sending XRP if you don't meet the requirements, it's not their fault you can't read.  :P

Scratch: sorry just looked you up in the DB. There was a bug causing your page to be skipped. funding you now.

If anyone else didn't get coins that has an old enough account please let us know.

For those with newer bitcointalk accounts we will be starting another more general giveaway soon.

Is it really unclear to people why brand new accounts can't participate in a free giveaway?

I also posted there a couple of days ago, and still waiting (and I think people after me have got their XRP, because they have edited their posts)...

Because then 10K accounts would be created everyday and newbie lands would slow down the entire board just to get free pennies.

Well, I might order some 1000 accounts from somewhere based on this:

I received 34k ripples last week. If you want to earn ripples besides the giveaway you can solve bugs and earn 10k - 4 million ripples as bounty.

Between my March-vintage-account (almost two years of lurking, figuring I had nothing to contribute, doesn't count, I know), the frustration of being unable to create a Ripple wallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151858.msg1987120 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151858.msg1987120)), and 300 XRP min stake somehow in ways that aren't clear to me yet, I gotta say that it's...well...VERY frustrating to try to get into Ripple.

Just an annoyed data point.

I also have never received any XRP despite having posted in the thread.
