xrp ripple - how to buy a little of it??

[cryptohunter]

It seems you need to have some ripple to buy ripple on the ripple market if you are not from the US?
This seems pretty strange, how do you get some in the first place?

if you just need the initial activation, you can receive the 50 xrp from any source i believe, it just can't be for less than 50 on the first transaction. so, you could create a wallet and i think, buy xrp through bitstamp (buy \ buy ripples) and have it sent to your new wallet, as long as you do it for 50+ xrp.

No, it does not depend on you being from the US or not.
With ripple, you need to have some XRP to have an account and to have credit lines.
50 XRP for an account and 12.5 XRP for credit lines.
In addition, you need some small amounts for transactions, but these are somewhat like milli-XRP, so with a moderate amount you'll get very far.
As 100 XRP are valued around one dollar, it's not expensive.

If you want to have some XRP for trying out Ripple, many folks would be willing to sell you some or even give you some for free.

1. You post "+1" on this thread
2 You send a pm with your address and the reason you want to fund a ripple account.

sounds easy enough! good luck to you.

You can buy it on bitmit or in ripple forum. The 50xrp  is like an activation to your wallet.
