[don_]

is is somehow possible to transfer bitcoins directly from my wallet to my ripple account
or do i need to make an account at a gateway like bitstamp and sent my coins from bitstam to riplle ?

I don't think that is operational yet. In fact, Ripple seems more in Alpha than Beta as they claim. I have a few satoshis to my name and would love to try out ripples.

You must trust to Bitstamp some amount of BTC, then you'll be able to deposit BTC (as BTC IOU's) in Ripple interior market.

Doesn't seem to work right now. No "Buy BTC" link/button to click on (step 4 in the guide).

Would like to know this as well is bitstamp really the only way currently?

None of that makes sense since you need XRP to trust. Without trust those instructions don't apply, and you can't do anything.

So bitstamp is the only option?

Good to see people interested in ripple!  It looks promising.
