[testbitcoinforum]

Any advice for a newbie trying Ripple?

Thanks, in advance.

i think nobody is really understanding ripple.
i tried to read the whole documentationt. i understand maybe 90% of it
BUT i dont understand how any other currency than XRP is gettin in and out of the system..

if bitcoin is too complicated for the masses.. then ripple is rocket science!

I see what you mean.
It looks like access to "gateways" is still "coming soon"

Last week I uses WeExchange to put a small amount of bitcoins into my Ripple account, and it wasn't hard - but I have forgotten how I did it. I'm sure if I want to do more I can figure it out easy enough.

Its the internal deal making and handling that I'm still fuzzy on, and I don't really have the time right now to dig into it.

I see lots of possibilities with Ripple.

Now if I can find someone or an exchange to actually buy Ripples, then I might be able to do something with it.

Isn't Ripple what Sanford drank on the TV show Sanford & Son?

Can somebody send me ripple to get started and I'll hit them back.

Is there an easy way to buy XRP?

[crayfish]

I dont think they are officially selling them yet. Pretty hard to get especially if you have no bitcoins. Buying it with ordinary cash is kinda hard

[Awe]

But is there a way to buy them for bitcoin? And what's the approximate price for BTC/XRP?

Now there is a blast from the past!   Or was it TV Land?

The best I can figure out it's a convenient way to exchange currencies.

You buy XRP in USD, send the XRP to a business, friends or family and they sell the XRP for their currency. I guess the idea is that eventually people will cease using XRP to exchange for another currency and will begin trading directly in XRP?

Ripple confuses me too.

Remember, Ripple is still beta software; once they release it, everything should be mainstreamed and understandable, with easy to understand documentation for what to do with it and how to do it.

Should is the key operator here.

Definitely plenty of potential

I'm interested in the Ripple platform, seems like it could be a good alternative for transferring money into Argentinian Pesos at the "blue rate" without fees. I'm interested in trying the platform and seeing how it evolves, so if anyone would like to spare a few Ripples, I would appreciate it: rBdVPECNfrgDfpj5WHJBchtv6gZ4Bo6QMR

Yea, pretty neat concept.

I figured this out. I am using bitstamp to fund the account using bitcoin. I found out they have a gateway with Ripple.

I am waiting for the TT to post on my account. I tell bitstamp how many bitcoins I want to send to Ripple,

Then as I understand it I have to grant the gateway a trust limit to receive the Bitcoins in Ripple.

However I am new to Ripple so everything I say could be wrong.

Market price? I have no clue. But I will take any Ripples for free, no limit.

It looks interesting, but I wish I knew how to use it!

If someone will help out with 300 XRP, I'll return a much bigger amount. Just need a way in.
