Created a new wallet. Got 1000 XRP.

Now what?

:-)

Lol, only 1000?

Transfer around IOUs masquerading as something valuable, while OpenCoin laughs all the way to the bank.

Now you can join the party.  Buy some BTC or USD with those XRP.  Or they are probably good for something else but not sure about that.

Yep, I've got it too! It's ~14$ today or so :)

1000 big ones baby, too bad I missed the original.

First givaway was 30.000XRP, I missed it. :(

It was actually 50,000, and I suspect some people got even more (100k)

i am buying :D if you want to sell

I'm also buying - I have a thread with 31 Ripple trades listed here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195538.0)

My Ripple code is already used by some one else and stolen my Ripples.  What can I do?

Here it comes. LOL  ;D

I am buying as well and have done about 40 trades by now:

Ready for what?  You will be waiting a long time for more by posting your address in this thread.

How long did it take you guys to receive them?

about 3 1/2 weeks.

and this is why i think its highly unfair

Cant tell if serious  ???  If you are it doesn't matter going to hold for a while. I previously objected but am now curious.

They announced this giveaway about 3 1/2 weeks ago

please help me to activate my account

I love how everybody keeps posting their address here expecting something. They just jump on the thought of free coins lol. Some don;t even say anything just an address and you would never hear anything from them again if you did give them anything.

I know they started the giveaway 3.5 weeks ago but upon opening a wallet and posting your address in the giveaway thread how long was it?

1000 xrp.   :-\

How lame is that?

Presumably this is so people like me will hold  and push the price up as I guess most people were hoping to get 1BTC worth from this, not 0.14 BTC

More than enough to open a Ripple account, establish trust lines with some gateways or individuals you know (and trust!), and start buying or selling Bitcoin against fiat money.

Your question seems pretty clear to me.

I got their email. Clicked on the link to create the ripple wallet. A new tab on my browser with that wallet page opened. I went back to my email to click on the link to claim those free 1000 XRP. That created a new tab of course (that's the way I like it with my browser). I pasted my ripple wallet address then click to confirm. Less that 1 second later I clicked back on my ripple tab page to see when those would show up in my wallet.

There were already there.


I am bitcoin all the way and believe it to be truly open and decentralized BUT I am not attached to any dogma as the free market with the free minds behind it will decide as usual.

people have been having problems, don't freak out, just post on the forum, and don't post your code, but do post your receiving address

if you wish to sell the xrp from the giveaway i will make an offer on them

have a great day gentlemens

Can we get it with the same name as posted before in that giveaway thread?

I got 80.000 XRP ;D

lol

someone stole my xrp too.  and there is no email notification , no way to change the password.
so xrp it totally not safe at all

lol ripple corporation giving out peanuts to us peons.

LOL ripple is so much a scam. Listen to their CEO's interview....youtube search "Chris Larsen ripple".

They does not even really answer/address concerns about their system at all. Utter fail and utter scam..

Obvious scam = obvious scam.

i took twice the original giveaway from 35 k cause some bug, so i got 70 k

Goddamn. It seems the are a lot of XRP-rich-bitches, except of me, missed a boat, only 2k. ;D

1000 XRP is about $14 worth at market prices.  That is pretty generous because it's free money.  Paypal just gave out $10 when they started out although I guess the amounts would be comparable with inflation.

I'm still buying XRP btw:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190456.msg1972861#msg1972861

ripple is worthless

all premined, 50% of coins goes to goverment/creators.

people will not accept such greedy model.

and stupid distribution, i got only 300XRP from giveaway, it is nothing, it was few weeks ago.

what will happen if ripple server go down? emp attack on company ? all money is doomed. lol.

RIPPLE IS PREMINE UNSECURE CLOSED SOURCE SCAM

Hmm, that guy is using a really large font. I suppose that means he must be right.

is it premined ? yes, 100.000.000.000
is it closed source ? yes, open coin is closed source
is it centralised ? yes
is it insecure? yes, 1 emp will kill all scamripplemoney in the world

so it is SCAM

Using large fonts is a sign of superior intelligence..

can you defend ripple? or you will attack me instead?
please tell me where i am wrong

Ripple is not a scam..it's just something you personally don't care for.  Other people like it.  Not ever thing has to be 100% like Bitcoin.   Bitcoin is painfully slow to even do a transaction so it has its downsides as well.

Okay you got yours by email I see :) I thought you got it from the ripple giveaway thread here. i dont meet the date requirments for the ripple thread but I put my address down anyways  :P

i got nothing, and i was signed to the newsletters before may 9, why?

Hmmm, did you check your SPAM folder?

rDz2xwjyVws33SgoGXYBnGmRrZivAxHqVP

They may send more XRP for free to boost the system so don't despair yet. I was expecting to get nothing.

yeah , nothing there too

When you signed up, they should have replied with a confirmation email. I would forward that to one of these guys:

https://ripple.com/contact/

And ask what's up!
