Which is the best and most reliable exchange to trade BTC for XRP (Ripple)?

---

There are 4 English exchanges listed for buying Ripple:

http://www.xrpga.org/exchangers.html

https://xrptrader.com : English : XRP, BTC
https://justcoin.com : English, Spanish, Norwegian : XRP, BTC, LTC, NOK
https://technocashier.com/ : English, Russian : XRP, WMZ, EUR, RUB, BTC
http://www.ripplewise.com/ : English : XRP, BTC, USD

But xrptrader.com is offline which worries me.  Is there a particularly reliable one in the bunch?

You can just buy XRP for Bitcoin within ripple :-)
Whether the exchange rate is ok to you probably depends on the amount that you want to buy, though.

I created a wallet on ripple.com but it only tells me "You have to be online to see this screen".  What am I doing wrong?

Don't know - I suspect a browser or networking (firewall) issue.
If you use Internet Explorer you should switch to a really recent version or another browser (firefox or chrome).
Don't know whether internet explorer is properly supported, the Ripple client uses websockets which might not work properly in IE.

Thanks, it was a browser issue.  I'm using Justcoin as the gateway and waiting for the deposit to credit there.

I have had success Bitstamp and Justcoin for BTC to XRP.

I have used TheRockTrading, Snapswap and Bitstamp for USD to XRP.

(I've just been testing all the gateways I can for the fun of it ;-)

And...with the Ripple/BTC bridge, you can exchange the two of them inside of the Ripple system

Cheers!

How?  Are you saying I can send bitcoin from a bitcoin wallet direct to my ripple account?

Not directly, but going through a gateway.
All external currencies in Ripple (fiat or crypto) are actually stored at gateways, the ripple ledger only stores who controls which amounts of these.
For example, to send BTC to Ripple via Bitstamp, you need a Bitstamp account where you send the BTC first. After that, you can withdraw the BTC to the Ripple, and use the BTC.Bitstamp within Ripple to trade against other currencies.
Alternatively, you can send BTC using dividendrippler.com which is a gateway that only holds crypto currencies.
Or you can deposit cash using zipzap and exchange that into BTC or whatever currency you want.

To withdraw money from Ripple, you need to go the reverse way. For BTC, there's a payment bridge operated by bitstamp which you can use to send BTC to any BTC wallet address.

I'd Go With Bitstamp.

poloniex is good option for me

i would also like to know whats the best exhanges for ripple and multiple crypto currencies bc i know certain exchanges dont accept ny residents. Its becoming difficult finding a reputable exchange for more than just bitcoin

I would choose Poloniex over Bitstamp all the time. I dont have a big stash of Ripple but I guess it will be of a good value in future.

Thanks to Onkel Paul for enlightening us with the knowledge.

Poloniex is the safest place that XRP can be purchased at. That's the only place that I can recommend because many people like to use Poloniex for Bitcoin/XRP trading.

You can try litebit.eu if you are in Europe.

Have you watched the thread date, do you think OP is searching for the best exchange till now?

the best xrp exchanger can trade buy and sell in there
is good poloniex because in there in riple the best volume transaction so can fast to take profit
another poloniex bittrex is good and kraken support deposit Sepa bank account(very low fee) or transfer wire

I buy XRP on poloniex with BTC and leave them there, I do not want to open a wallet for every altcoin I buy because it probably will not hold for a long time 

For me Poloniex is the best option where I can buy XRP and sell XRP without any problem, also it is one of the best safest exchange where we can invest our money without any problems.

O man I did not look at the OP date LOL

Poloniex is one of the best exchange where we can easily deposit Bitcoin and we can easily buy XRP. When compared to other exchanges I prefer only Poloniex for buying XRP coins.

I`m buying ripple on poloniex, and what draw my attention is volume on poloniex. Price is affordable for many of us at the moment and maybe this investment in ripple can bring good profit in the future. I have some just in case, and probably I will buy more when I have some extra money for spending.

Then its good XRP is one also in my longterm coin and i see that this coin can grow more because RIPPLE use many big time banks here in the world. I hooe that you see the pump that happen in XRP it came up to 7k sats and Volume grow 200,000 btc wow! Anytime this coin can pump haha

I think it will grow more than that, I do not have a wallet,my coins stand on poloniex.
Is it wise to leave them there or to open a wallet?

1. Buy bitcoin
2. Buy Ripple/BTC with Poloniex

That's probably the safest and cheapest way to do it at the moment

If you have a plan to sell them at some price better hold it in the exchange itself, but if you are looking term then it is better to store in your wallet which you can encrypt with paraphrase and it will be secured under your control.

Most probably not.People just start posting without reading properly.As it was clear from op that at the time of posting there were only 4 exchanges.
Now ripple is available on Poloniex and Bittrex also.

The Best Exchanger for me is Changelly (https://www.ripplecoinnews.com/changelly-review-best-cryptocurrency-exchanger) ... you can read this step by step guide to buy or exchange ripple XRP with Changelly (it's very easy and safe) :
https://www.ripplecoinnews.com/how-to-buy-ripple-xrp-coin-with-credit-debit-card

Best exchange? I use polonix all the time.

Safe place to keep your investment ? Not ANY exchange, you'll lose it.

Top of the line for the price: the Ledger Nano S, and yes it supports  XRP as well as any crypto that may make a good investment.
Their team work 24/7 to add wallets to the key. I can't say enough about them and the technology.

They are just getting over a bump trying to add monero (XMR) as it's so untraceable, but they will figure it out. Propbally already have.

Hope you the best. I believe ripple is a great LONG TERM investment. 1-3 years at min.

I've used changelly, but never with a credit card. I would think the fee's are reasonable to high. Just read what you're signing to before useing the service.

Get at 'em !

All good suggestions, and if the exchange is out of your neighbourhood, VPN in.
