Yeah you'll have to take care of it wherever you signed up for the wallet. I assume they're holding your private key, which is an even longer address used only to send Bitcoin (after all, if you can't send Bitcoin, then it's as good as gone.)
Once you do figure it out, I recommend getting a local wallet instead (I personally use Electrum, since it doesn't have to download the blockchain.)

No problem pal  Ripples seem a little useless to me tho so I sent you a dollar's worth of BTC as well. |

All right sent you some XRP. Use it wisely.  |

Thanks! although I'm not sure what you mean by that. I can only receive replies?
The way it read at ripple is: "This is your public address. Give this address to other users so they can send you money.

Are you saying that I have to send someone a request for money and THEN they can send me money?
I'm saying you can only receive XRP (Ripples) via that address. If you want Bitcoin, you would have to get a Bitcoin address (these start with the number 1, while ripple addresses start with the letter r) Now, from that point, you can attempt to convert ripples into Bitcoin, but that's a journey you'll have to make on your own, as I have no idea how that works |

AFAIK you can only send ripples to that address...

I'm surprised he didn't leave earlier. He was pretty much put in his place day one.

The only way to "link" it to gold is have a major stabilized bitcoin/gold online exchange.
Exactly. Decentralized currency with a centralized exchange? Just call it a centralized currency at that point. That's not a step in the wrong direction, it's a lunge over the cliff. |

Apple hates everything. They don't even like their own customers enough to make their phones last longer than a couple of years.

I am sorry to hear that. Perhaps you would be interested in some Ripples. I could send you 7 XRPs for the low price of $350.00 Just dump the $350 into Bitstamp and send it to.. rBY82V7hf9mkZ3vZGvB6LPzjsBE8zrvMTR Ya know what I am in a good mood, I will send you 9 XPRs for $350.00 Now that's a bargain if I ever heard one. Better act fast OP, or I might have to scoop up this SUPER-SAVERS DEAL, ALL YOURS FOR TEN SMALL PAYMENTS OF 34.99!! |

or it could cripple the currency and make way for a new competitor....
In that case, if not anything else, it will give those who are late to the bitcoin scene a head start in a new game  That's what they're trying to use Bytecoin for |

hey dude, people will use them as actual money when there is something they can buy for btc
so if you want to contribute to minimize speculations just offer your goods/service for btc
You would be stupid to do this. I can't think of any reason why any seller of any good would accept bitcoin. It is way too volatile to set a price. You sell a good one day for 1 btc, and the next day you see that the btc value took a bad hit. I do a lot of business online selling parts and I would never accept bitcoin in this environment. Key word is this environment. Hopefully it changes in the future, but stabilization will come in the long term like another poster said. Stabilization can only occur when more businesses accept it as-is. Though one may be stupid, they could also understand exactly what they're doing, and be doing it because they actually believe in BTC. Nobody can say they support Bitcoin yet won't accept it as payment. Bite the bullet! Take one for the team! Be the change you want to see! And all that encourage stuff. Btw, there's also BitPay, where merchants can accept BTC and immediately transfer it into fiat, meaning there's no downside to them taking it. The downside to us, however, is the merchant can't turn around and buy things with BTC. I'm guessing BitPay sells the coins off and it gets back into the economy that way. So it's still heavily tied to fiat. |
