gotdam!! but if you keep them in your own wallet shouldnt you be able to avoid situations like that??

ya some feel keeping your own wallet is the most secure way...this wasn't an example tho of an extreme case...or meant to scare anyone...in this case they told members they'd have to transfer their bitcoins and provided recommendations

Circle is also announcing a partnership with Coinbase – essentially they are just directing all of their current customers to Coinbase who want to continue buying and selling Bitcoin.

I've only found once instance so far of a "reputable" company that basically said fuck y'all we're done and froze everyone's shit and that was mtgox...many of us are jumping on this (and rightfully so @ .006 ripple there's not much to lose)...just wanna educate myself more on what I'm getting into and sharing w/e I find that can help those who are in this or curious @ the least
 
coinmama is cool...easy to use...I signed up...I entered regular info...name/address/phone #...I included my driver's license # and exp. date (I didn't upload a pic of it although that is an option that allows you to purchase more)...made a max purchase of $150 worth of bitcoins (they charged me a $10 transaction fee which is high but I read about that beforehand...it's usually 5% of the total transaction or $10 whichever is higher :rolleyes:)...when you place your order have your bitcoin wallet/address ready cuz you'll have to provide it for them to send it...you are then sent a text to confirm your phone # and 2 emails (1 to confirm your email address...the other to confirm your bitcoin wallet/address)...took about 30-40 minutes for it to show up in kraken then converted it to XRP as usual...I was limited to a purchase of $150 since I didn't upload my ID...not sure if this is a daily limit or an increment limit...w/ ID upload you have a daily purchase limit of $10000...so I'm wondering if someone w/o an ID can still have that limit but forced to do so in increments of $150 purchases which would cost you a lot more w/ the transaction fees...anyway I don't want that much...just musing...I'm @ 40k right now tryna get to 100k hopefully...I'll find out more about that $150 limit...even if that's a daily limit I can work w/ that...long story short...it's a fast/easy/reputable way to pick up a few bitcoins w/o having to give up too much info...also they offer bitcoin packages but you don't have to buy them...there's a slider below that lets you enter how much USD you want to spend...hope this helps :cool:

*edit*

$150 is the daily limit w/o uploading ID

One important thing ya'll have to look at is the WITHDRAWAL LIMITS
This shit ever hit big Kracken will drastically limit how much you can pull out
I believe the highest is 200,000 a month tier 3 and 500,000 per month tier 4
now if this gets up to $500 per ripple that's a big handcuff
I may keep 50% ripple in my wallet and %50 in Kracken (If those bastards ever tier 3 approve me)

ya I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket...kraken...poloniex...and w/e portion I have on my desktop wallet I'll find additional sites where I can transfer/sell if it comes to that :dunno:
 
cool! did they limit how much you could buy or ask for any extra identification?

I think there was an 800 something limit not sure if its per transaction or per day. Verification was a simple sms text code sent to your phone. Didn't have to scan my id or anything i was prepared to be krakened. I did set up the app with the wallet beforehand.

Do it Sunday then. And that's my own personal opinion by all means you can buy it after the 17th. I have no information about what it's going to do on opening day etc etc. Just feel like it's going to go up once it is widely known and the time to get in is now.
This is the ground floor everybody wishes they would have been on. just my own opinion you can buy after the 17th for sure.

I'm sure it was already stated and I missed it but what is happening on the 17th?

On the 17th, ripple will begin trading on bitstamp which opens them up to a number of markets in Europe. Think of it in a way as jumping in on an ipo before it starts trading on the stock market.

Thanks. I guess I should have started setting up my KraKen account sooner.
 
I saw a few pages back you resolved a similar issue w/ changelly...my question is how?
With changelly i had to let my credit card know it wasn't fraud and then verify with an ID with chagelly; but their site still has problems with the us dollar; i tried to do a transaction yesterday and it didn't go thru; they told me they were having dollar issues and i had to wait until it was fix shaking my head....

ya...they can eat a dick...thanks man...figured it was on their end...coinbase and coinmama were no hassle
 
I have a few questions. Like most I feel this is a half court shot to win a mil with blind folds on but shit I'm still taking my shot.

I used Coinbase they only let my weekly limit be 150 I assumed that was per CC but no I tried another card and it still said 150 per week so I assume that per account??

But I transferred to Kraken yesterday All but a few cents. I log back on my account today and it says I have 18 dollars still left on Coinbase. Did I make money off coinbase? I took that 18 and am in the process of sending that to kracken as well.

Fast forward to a minute ago looked at my coinbase account and it's back up to 3.oo again how is that account gaining money?

Yeah I was wondering wtf was going on. I tried to make two more deposits and these neegas never called my phone to give me the verification code. I'm going to retry in a minute.

Ok now that i transferred to kraken and it went thru how do i purchase ripple? I forgot the process after i did it the first time. thanks
 
Im on Changelly but what is my BTC address? I have an account on Kraken and I'm tier 3 certified but I can't seem to find it.

First time doing this so I'm brand new to the whole bitcoin thing.
 
@brickdome

1) click the TRADE tab
2) click NEW ORDER
3) @ the top left change the currency setting to read XRP/XBT
4) the green button will change to BUY XRP (ripple) WITH XBT (bitcoins)
5) either enter how much ripple you want to buy first field (XRP) or how much bitcoin you want to spend last field (XBT)
6) click the green button BUY XRP WITH XBT

should happen instantly...go back to trade...look @ your balance to confirm how much ripple you have

here's how to generate a deposit address (BTC address) in kraken to send the bitcoins to from changelly...in kraken...

1) go to the FUNDS tab
2) make sure you click DEPOSIT
3) on the left side there's a list of denominations...select BITCOIN (XBT)
4) click the green button on the bottom that reads GENERATE NEW ADDRESS
5) it will be added as a DEPOSIT ADDRESS (NEW ADDRESS)

that is the deposit address you will copy and paste when you are ready to send/transfer funds

...be forewarned tho...changelly hasn't been working for some of us
 
After i checked and noticed that my first order first (original order) states now as a status of canceled??? is that the way it should read? my new order the one i just did says closed? I think i fucked up

my first exchange said 'canceled' too...but it showed up in my balance...can't explain why :dunno: but you're good...I think it was bcuz I put in the amount of BTC I was using...but now instead I specify how much ripple I want...the first time I did it I think I ordered a fraction more than I had so it converted as much as it could and the 'canceled' reading is due to me running out of funds...like looking @ the amount you had...just to make it run smoothly I would've just requested 24,500 ripple...that would ensure I have enough to cover the purchase...and it would leave me w/ a little BTC remaining...I don't know if this is a correct answer...but it has been the difference between me getting that 'canceled' reading vs 'closed'

i think i said before but i might have forgot to mention it, just basically that you copy and paste the exact amount. exactly. decimals matter in this. every fraction matters.

Thanks fam. Yea, I don't think my CC went through. It's pass the 2 minute mark.
 
No Cigar on changelly.

We can not process too small or too large transactions now.
Send exactly the same amount as was calculated in transaction details

But I bought the maximum amount. Any ideas?
 
so i still havent heard shit from kraken. i submitted for level 3 on monday night. coinbase constantly gives me an error message when i try to verify my address for credit card use. i did some research and found out that this is a common problem for some users. anyways...
i found an alternative that i think will work. the website localbitcoins or paxful. people buy and sell bitcoins on these sites. my only hold up now is, i want the best rate to buy the bitcoin. the rates are better if you use western union as opposed to a credit card.
finally, i just checked changelly (sp) and the rates are better on localbitcoins and paxful.

hopefully i get in before its too late. what exactly happens on the 17th? why is that a deadline?

On Changelly you can only buy $50 first time
$100 4 days later and $500 7 days after that. After 30 days no limits
