I just turned $5k into ripple, how do I get it back into bitcoins
http://ripple.com/client1) Sign up
2) Contacts -> add contact (the +) Name: Bitstamp ... Address: rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B
3) Advanced -> Trade ... click "change issuer" and start typing bitstamp or rv.. hit "confirm" .. hit "order book"
4) Chance currency pairs and repeat the (3) for each
After adding bitstamp as issuer you can now trade ripple to btc in inside ripple client.
After you have ripple bitcoin balance. You can send the ripple btc to your real btc address directly using the ripple client send option. Just try using small amount first. Ripple bridge btc will arrive 1 minute up to 4 hours.
If you feel generous you can tip me some bitcents.
