Just want to say thank you to James for getting peer cover moving again - a bit late because I was offline - can confirm this seems to be nice service once working despite its Ripple overtones...
what is the current BTC/NxT price there ?
Trying to figure that out. Apparently I need a wallet name ...
Does an ID or DL need to be provided before using this service?
The active orderbook on ripple is in NXT/XRP for now. Wow over 250,000 NXT active! The spread is bid 2.7, ask 2.8 XRP per NXT. Currently BTC is right around 30000 XRP, so 3 XRP = ~.0001 BTC
this makes the effective spread .00009 vs .00009333 BTC, actually not that bad considering this is the first day and people are just starting to get used to the whole ripple thing and a lot of people are still in the process of funding their ripple wallets.
Notice this is a significant premium over dgex so regardless of your feelings about ripple, you can get 15% more for your NXT on ripple. Unless you are millionaire and don't need extra 15%, it is usually worth a little extra effort to make that 15%.
All you need is a ripple wallet, which doesn't require registration or anything, just a handle and password. just go to ripple.com and create wallet from the wallet link in upper right corner.
Once you have a ripple acct, you will need 30 XRP to get going. This is ripple's answer to darkNXT, or in this case darkXRP. A account without minimum XRP can't be a destination for anything except XRP. Send me your ripple address and I will send you 30XRP.
Now you can go to the simpleGateway (URL in my sig) and just follow directions for deposit, etc.
After you are all setup, you can send me 10 NXT or the 30 XRP or even .001 BTC, whatever is easiest.
James
