Whats the point of creating a ripple account then not being able to activate it unless you have 300 xrp? if youre new to all this virtual currency and want to start off with ripple - yeah yeah they give them away for free, but not to people that are starting off or only people that have bitcoins. Im sure Ill figure a way to get ripple but in the mean time I spose I just need to vent. 

I assume they will change that once they do a full launch.  Maybe because it is in beta and they are trying to make it more difficult to do anything on there?  I'm not sure but I agree it is a major obstacle to the common person. I bet they give you like 300 XRP for free when they open it to the general public and promote it during an official launch.

There was a thread in the regular section where people were loaning XRP to others with a promise of paying back.  I think they raised the limit to 400 to get full site access.  I was lucky and knew someone who had some from the previous giveaways and send me some (that I will pay back eventually).

The 300 XRP are some kind of security or elaborate CAPTCHA.

Otherwise bots could create spam accounts and fake webs of trust en masse.

Yes it was easy to get a 300 XRP loan at first when they were just worth about 20 cents.  But then XRP went up and were worth $1.  Now it is down a bit but still in that range and people can't afford to give out a lot of loans.  but the price shoudl fall back down in time.

The Ripple concept greatly intrigues me. I'm also eager to get some XRP and see what we can do, although most of my friends aren't the adventurous early adopter type.

I'm sure they will have some more giveaways before long.  At least I would expect them to.

Did anyone else get an email offer to buy your forum account?

I just got offered $12.00. I'm assuming it's because of this giveaway?

　

This is going to sound dumb, probably... But, can you mine XRP? I just learned of ripple today and I'm still very confused...

　

I hope to get more ripples myself..hopefully very soon.

abrkn - Can you point me to any good threads that explain ripple and XRP? My initial impressions are that XRP is a "transactional" currency for ripple? Is that right?

　

Why does it work like that? I never got it.

　

Ok.. And what how/where do I find and add gateways?  ???

All coins "pre-mined" with one party in control over the entire network while retaining 20% of the total supply for them selves...i'm i the only one that thinks that sounds odd?

Only two gateways right now are Bitstamp and Weexchange...well those are the two major ones. 

　

You can now get your Ripple account activated with the help of this Fiverr Job:
http://fiverr.com/bitcoindarling/help-you-to-active-your-new-ripple-account (http://fiverr.com/bitcoindarling/help-you-to-active-your-new-ripple-account)

Updated: They send you now 50 XRP with the order.

You can get your Ripple account activate with this great service via
http://www.rippleactivation.com

Some people argued that this is not the exchange rate for $5 into XRP,
and that is true, but this service is not meant to be a an exchange rate job,
but an Ripple account activation job.

A lot of people do not feel like they want to beg strangers for their first 25 XRP
they need in order to activate their Ripple account, so this service was born out
of that need.

Also a lot of people experienced that people who publicly "begged" to get their
first "free" XRP ripple from strangers and pay them back (even by doubling or
tripping what they want to pay back...) - that those very same people NEVER
sent anything back even after several weeks.

So that Fiverr job sounds and is like a honest service for everyone else who is
not into the "guessing game" of "who will help me to get my account founded
and activate" :-)

get your wallet activated for free courtesy of the got jed? initiative:  https://xrptalk.org/topic/1415-the-got-jed-initiative-a-proactive-xrp-giveaway/

thanks. :)

Not everybody is interested in "freebies" and also not everybody has the time to read
all free forum posts and give aways. It is great to have initiatives like JED, but a lot of
people (including myself!) did not understand it and it was an endless stream of messages
to deal with in understanding how to receive "free" Ripple from total strangers.

I put it this way: some people look for a free parking space in the city - others do not have
the patience and time to search for a free one and they are happy to pay for a secure parking
space.

That is why http://www.rippleactivation.com as $5 Ripple Account Activation service was
established.

We love to help and are proud to be a fast alternative.

Maybe some sort of verification.

you need about 50 xrp to get it activated but i am not sure about that, try a giveaway for some free xrp
