Wallet Activation

[alexanderthemackenzie]

Hello, I am new to Gatehub. I am have had my account verified and I am just wondering if the wallet will be activated automatically or if I have to buy XRP elsewhere. 

I mean that kind of beats the point of using this exchange. I have other crypto I would like to trade but I cannot use it until XRP is in the wallet. 

Any advice other than buying XRP from a different exchange first is welcome.

Thank you!

Um I am not sure,  but I can't see why you can't just trade fiat or other coin on Gatehub (not sure what they have avail) for XRP.  It will then be in the wallet at Gatehub.   Am I missing something?  Gatehub is not the cheapest place to by XRP though...  generally a percent or two higher than elsewhere.

The wallet does not allow me to add anything to the account by any transfer be it fiat or crypto unless the XRP minimum amount has been added first. And, I can't purchase XRP through gatehub until that minimum amount has been directly transfered as XRP to the wallet. It seems pointless to use an exhange that I have to buy XRP elsewhere first then add it to my wallet and still be subjected to not being able to withdraw that minimum amount.
