does the before 19.feb account on this forum restriction STILL APPLY ?

If yes than you should DEFINITELY POST it in this thread (so you get more ppl to join and coins)
If no than you should DEFINITELY POST it in this thread (so people don't waste time)

Thank you

Why are they giving away free Ripples? That is a good way to inflate your currency before it even takes off...

Did anyone know if there's other giveaway other than the main ripple giveaway thread? I would like to get my hands on some ripples too.

 I just signed up for a Ripple wallet. I don't have many Bitcoins.  Is there any other ways to get Ripple before the general public release starts.  Something tells me that with all the news on Bitcoins,  they may go fast.

does ripple have the same level of anonymity as bitcoin does?

How would this work if the thread says that "Anyone whose Bitcoin Forum account was created before February 19, 2013, 18:45 UTC, is eligible to receive XRP. "
But we're all new accounts here?

well not as much because you can pull up anyone's ripple wallet address and see what they have in there and all their past transactions as well.

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: 50,000 XRP per 1 BTC.
If you send me 19,800 XRP received in a giveaway (the system won't let you send the last 200), you'll get 0.396 BTC.
You need to hurry though as either a Ripple giveaway or my buy-in program may stop at any time!
hello, sorry but it does not work, when I go on ripple.com hangs around, what can it be?

OP - why are you betting on Ripple being worth your trade?  What makes you think it's going to take off?

Not skeptical; just curious.

can vouch Arvicco is legit, sold 19950 XRP for 0.399 BTC :)

Are there any other ways to get some XRP for those (like me) whom didn't bother create a bitcointalk account before Feb 19th?
(Apart from purchasing them for BTC, I mean...  ;)  )

But we're all new accounts here?

You'd be surprised how many people registered Bitcointalk account long ago but are not really active, so limited to Newbie section. I'd like to inform them about this opportunity.

That would be me.

I'm not sure why bitstamp is exchanging ripples for btc. they must be losing money from it.

I'm just curious... how much XRP have you bought this way?  Yes, this is personal, but you've got to be burning through a bunch of BTC.

(Apart from purchasing them for BTC, I mean...  ;)  )

More giveaways are planned later in May when Ripple is going to be open to general public. The Bitcointalk giveaways just gives us a taste of the things to come. One of the main goals of OpenCoin is to distribute a considerable amount of XRP to general public, so I expect something like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter giveaways, XRP redeeming links sent to cell phones or something similar

The value will most likely plummet once Ripple starts opening it's coffers, but as of now it's still trading pretty well.
