Hi all, I am selling 2,500 XRP Ripples for 0.1 BitCoins "Auction" or "0.2 BTCs Buy Now". Escrow system in place so no scamming possible!

That's great Grysur! I sell in small quantities, my prices beat current prices for smaller quantities.

Yes agree with the other poster, that is nasty.  I'm not optimistic about Ripples based on lack of user base and the fact the market conversion is that Ripples are 33000 times less valuable than bitcoins.

why the hell people think often there is a amount rebate in currency exchange trading? there is the same price for small and large quantities!  ;D

Is anybody getting on the ripple train?  ie the start my ripple thing.  I'm on but cant get people into it.  everyone thinks its spam.

There are fixed overheads involved in processing a transaction. A small transaction has almost the same overhead as a large transaction. Thus it often makes sense to give a better rate on larger transactions. This is especially true for traders who themselves buy in bulk to get lower fees up the chain. If you do a big sale, that may be enough for you to do a large purchase and book a profit immediately. If not, you may have to sit on the currency you got paid until you can justify a trade yourself, and that means you take more risk.

Ripple is still in beta, isnt it? Its a surprise that it already has a nonzero value.

I've heard that big CA investors are backing it now - is there a chance that the Bitcoin rally will be repeated?

Speculation purely, but if it gets adopted it could be a good system

Well, thats exactly how BitCoin has started :)

Are you a part of ripple yet?  Do you want to join mine? 

Could be, couldn't be who knows.  The way I look at it, is it's free to join and pursue, so why not?  Do you want an invite code? 

There are lots of companies behind Bitcoin. Mt Gox, for example, has a huge incentive to see Bitcoin adoption grow.

What?!

I would Like an invite code if possible, forgive me I really am a newbie, I have set up a wallet and it says get some one to send 300. where do I go from here?

There are no invite codes. People are confusing Ripple with RippLn, some kind of MLM thing.

Our lawyers are looking at defending our trademark.

Its my understanding that rippln will run with ripples

Do you have any cite to an official source that says that? If they are planning to do that, having proof would be tremendously helpful to us. I think by "Ripples" they just mean your MLM downline or "team". I believe the names are just an unfortunate coincidence.

Let me look into some more.  They've made it a bit ambiguous to market this thing.

Joel If I am a new user with a new wallet how do I get my hands on my first XRP?

There will be more giveaways shortly. But you can also post your address somewhere and someone will usually fund it. You can also buy XRP at Bitstamp, bitmit, xrptrader, snowcoin, and a few other places.

Joel didn't mean to challenge your trademark .  I'm new just trying to understand all this stuff.

Ahh ok, thanks Joel.
If any fellow bitcoiners would like to help out a newbie:

I appreciate the clarifications here made by some, others merely trying to spam my thread by shooting me down for making an honest buck of ripples thats not nice.

But anyways I guarantee you Ripples is the next big thing to be honest. So many of Bitcoin's and Litecoin's flaws have been eliminated with this new architecture. Google it and read up on it, it is quite amazing. Come back if your interested and I'll gladly sell you some on bitmit. I have a huge stockpile at the moment, a large portion which I will definitely keep for the longterm because I truly believe this is the next train to hope on.

need some free ripple to active account :D

Why not just sell xrp through the ripple interface?

The Ripple interface trading platform is currently closed at the moment, it will open when the program is no longer in beta mode.

Anyone who wants to be invited just go to my blogg and leave a comment;

so I can send you an invite

Nasty girl or someone else.  Could you please send me some ripples so I can verify?  thankyou  rBGUtsTwJb8T6FxR8zUsjH6WATRmNMFH53

THIS IS RIPPLES NOT RIPPLN. PLEASE YOU ARE PART OF A PONZI SCHEME. GET OUT.

No one cares about that MLM garbage.  That's not what ripple is.

I sold XRP for bitcoin earlier this week. Has it recently closed?

EDIT: Just checked, the exchange for XRP/BTC is working.

I am very skeptical about Ripple, the difference is that the company OpenCoin owns the supply of it.  They are giving them away on this forum to try to enter the market that has been created by Bitcoin.  You need to be able to trust OpenCoin if you are going to store your wealth in Ripples.  How does one trust an corporation that is designed to make it's investor's wealthy?

No central entity owns the supply of Bitcoin. 

Don't store your wealth in Ripples then. Use Ripple as a payment network and currency exchange and store your wealth in whatever currency has the properties you like. I completely agree that there's huge risk associated with using XRP as a currency now. (There's huge risk with Bitcoin too, but that's another story.)

Today, but that was not always true. There was a time when the vast majority of mined Bitcoins were own by those who had been given early access. This may be true of XRP some day or it may not. If you think that's a necessary property for a currency, then don't use XRP as a currency. We're not asking you to. We're promoting Ripple as a payment network.

Satoshi could have kept Bitcoin closed. He could have sold mining contracts. He could have kept the code secret. But he didn't. And because he didn't, his Bitcoins are worth more today than they ever would have been under a closed model. We may be selfish, but we're definitely not stupid.

1) I won't use Ripples because I don't want to undermine BTC.  Decentralized currencies now have a fleeting shot at "making it" and I want to maximize that by supporting the top currency.  I am going with the market leader just like I use Facebook and not Google+.
2) I can convert BTC to USD without going through an intermediary currency that aims to compete with BTC.  
3) Once Paypal adopts BTC, it's over for the Ripple payment system.

If I could offer your company some feedback, please help BTC instead of trying to undermine it.  One place you can help is by going through the paperwork to become a lending facility for BTC.  Become a BTC bank and help deal with the deflationary spiral issue in 2140.

Do you have any link or evidence that somebody was given early access to BTCs?  The way BTC works is you get a reward for each block that's mined.  This is built into the BTC protocol. 

Ripples were created by your Company saying, ok, we start with this number of Ripples.  There is nothing in your protocol that forces you to not change your number.  And also the number by which you destroy Ripples for each transaction.  You have no built in trust whatsoever.  Please correct me if I'm wrong because I would love to hear your counterargument.



Are you trying to undermine my trust in myself and my own computer?  Satoshi did not sell mining contracts because he wanted his idea for a virtual currency to succeed.  It is succeeding because it is just an idea & system that depends on its users including me and you.  it's not logical for me to not trust myself.

It is logical for me to not trust your company.

Ripple has direct exchanges between arbitrary currency pairs.

I like Ripples. You can also buy them at Bitstamp for .0044 each.  Bitstamp is my favorite Ripple gateway.

Why do you like Ripples?  Or are you trying to change the subject?

Ripples are nice because when you send some to another person with a Ripple address, it takes about 1 second not one hour or longer like with Bitcoin.   

This is cool and I want to make an account at bitmit as well.  I wonder how complicated it is.

Just hope you do your homework about the downsides of Ripple before using it extensively.  The company would be more successful if they completely remove the concept of Ripple currency from the picture.

Hey guys PM me if anyone wants to buy some off of me at bitmit. Right now people are posting ridiculous prices, you can see for yourselves and compare with my links.
