so posting here instead. rLEJ6B4kmDuKffZ8ZvCV67gA49sCAQsrj7 ty! Title: Re: re Ripple Giveaway! Post by: teamtarp on May 13, 2013, 03:53:48 PM why they not start a new givaway for newbies? this is just part of the problem. old forum members who got into bitcoin have a ton of bitcoin and then ripple also offer them a ripple giveaway so now those rich on bitcoin is also rich on ripple, but we who discovered bitcoin late and dont have many, guess what we are not able to get any ripples either.
thought bitcoin was here to fight the rich get richer paradigm, but it all just goes on like a big circle. sad i think it is, actaully there should be a ripple givaway for newbies that gave more ripples than the other givaweay.

Post by: teamtarp on May 13, 2013, 04:03:08 PM yes and that is the problem, i discover bitcoin a couple months ago, dont have many, but you who discovered bitcoins long time ago probably have a lot. you can get ripple like a champ, but poor me with almost no bitcoin can not. just pointing out how system once again works to make the rich richer.

Totally agree. In my case I have been lurking around for months.. just never registered in the forum! Title: Re: re Ripple Giveaway!

If the Ripple giveaway starts giving XRPs to newbies, then obviously there would be infinitely many "newbies" who'll just abuse the giveaway. There's no significant point in giving XRPs to newbies. OpenCoin is targeting those members who have a clearer grasp of what Bitcoin is, and hoping to woo them and accept Ripple as a new or better currency/protocol. yes and that is the problem, i discover bitcoin a couple months ago, dont have many, but you who discovered bitcoins long time ago probably have a lot. you can get ripple like a champ, but poor me with almost no bitcoin can not. just pointing out how system once again works to make the rich richer. Why don't you just buy Bitcoins and use an exchange such as MtGox to sell high and buy low? If there's a will, there's a way. Title: Re: re Ripple Giveaway!
