My understanding is that the script they have will check when my forum account was created and if the date is after Feb 19th (which is the case for my account) I won't get credit.  I heard about ripple from a friend.  I may use it for sending money.  The idea of separating the payments and transfers system from the commercial banking system is philosophically appealing to me.

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who has been a member of the Bitcoin forum since before Feb. 19 2013, who is not interested in ripple.com, and who can do me a favor.  Ripple is giving away chunks of their digital currency to Bitcoin forum users who post their ripple public address on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145506 .  Unfortunately, my forum account is too new to qualify.  If you can help me out please post my ripple address rpMZxnBJRivjrbbuBgA8zq91qEueLCKn8w in the thread.  I'm happy to return a favor if I can.

Thanks!   

Hi,

I'm just looking to learn more about non-fiat electronic currencies.
