ripple: let's test it!

[dchapes]

Some people are confused about exactly where their wallet resides, it seems.

There are some good questions and answers at StackExchange relating to Ripple wallets.

In particular:

• How exactly is my account/wallet at ripple.com secure?
• What do the “Fetch Wallet” options when opening a Ripple wallet mean?

Tried sending BTC to BitStamp and the ripple client tells me "No path found" no matter what I put in, even 0.1 BTC. What am I doing wrong?

What type of BTC are you trying to send to them? If you hold BitstampBTC then it should go through (make sure you are using the right address, I think they have a different one for each currency). If you do not hold BitstampBTC, then that means you do not hold any BTC they trust.

EDIT: Tried again and it now works, I guess the Ripple site was having issues...


Should clarify, I'm doing an XRP -> BTC transfer. I have 15K XRP so it should be enough for 0.1 BTC. On the send money page I change the outgoing currency type to BTC.

Also, just to test I tried USD to another ripple address and for some reason it only lets me go up to 4 dollars, >5 comes up with "Path not found"

Perhaps I have overlooked something, not sure what's going on.

Bitstamp is selling XRP now.

Unfortunately nope   

[virtualfaqs]

How do you sell XRP on Bitstamp?

I'm making a list of public data of various kinds, so if you find any new Ripple contract or currencies that look interesting or if you wish to list your public Ripple ID, please feel free to update the list (link in signature).

I'm new to ripple - works well. 

Problem - contacts disappear, deleted contacts re-appear - issuer (in trading section) has to be entered again and again.

NOT a cache issue - tried 3 different computers (Ubuntu and Windows) - 2 different browsers (Chrome and Firefox)

Any ideas?

The only way I know of that this can happen is if you save your wallet on one machine while it's open on another. If you do that, the last save wins and previous changes are lost. I haven't heard reports of that happening any other way.

I thought that too, but I have checked and double checked other computers in the house.

After an entire day of adding my contacts again and again every time I logged in to ripple, I was able to fix it - here's how.

I signed off ripple (computer).
I signed on via Galaxy - mobile phone (on same wifi connection) - added the contacts and signed off.
I signed back on (computer) and the contacts are there.

All computers were set to 'fetch wallet' from Payward only. It did not make a difference on any of my computers (windows, linux, firefox, chrome), but the mobile browser seemed to force the system to save changes.  I was never signed on to ripple on any two devices at once - still using only one computer every day - the same one I signed up from.

[JoelKatz]

Wow. So somehow your mobile browser was saving your wallet without you actually doing anything, overwriting your changes.
