Why are they giving away free Ripples? That is a good way to inflate your currency before it even takes off...

I'm not sure why bitstamp is exchanging ripples for btc. they must be losing money from it.

I'm just curious... how much XRP have you bought this way?  Yes, this is personal, but you've got to be burning through a bunch of BTC.

Are there any other ways to get some XRP for those (like me) whom didn't bother create a bitcointalk account before Feb 19th?
(Apart from purchasing them for BTC, I mean...    )

More giveaways are planned later in May when Ripple is going to be open to general public. The Bitcointalk giveaways just gives us a taste of the things to come. One of the main goals of OpenCoin is to distribute a considerable amount of XRP to general public, so I expect something like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter giveaways, XRP redeeming links sent to cell phones or something similar

The value will most likely plummet once Ripple starts opening it's coffers, but as of now it's still trading pretty well.
