Can't Exchange my Bticoins for Ripple Anywhere

[js1988]

Hello all, I am hoping anybody can assist me. I am attempting to exchange/buy ripple using bitcoins that I own and no websites are allowing me to. Has anybody been able to do this today and if so where? Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried shapeshift? You will need an xrp wallet to send them to though

Bitstamp allows you to trade Bitcoin for XRP.

There are also many other exchanges that have BTC/XRP markets, some don't require you to do a KYC procedure as long as you are not trying to withdraw fiat currency from them.

Shapeshift is saying that ripple is temporarily unavailable is that because I do not have the wallet?

They are probably overloaded

Make sure you have a wallet to send the xrp to and remember it will require a minimum of 20xrp

Toast wallet is one option

All wallets for xrp seem to be down currently.
