Beware or Shapeshift and Changelly. You lose a ton of XRP doing this. I too did this at first when I had FOMO and wanted to buy XRP and couldn't figure out how. Your best off buying BTC from coinbase or GDAX and trading them for XRP. I usually buy LTC since the fees are much less and its faster then trade it for USDT then buy XRP. It's alot of steps but you get much more for your money in the long run. Also, when it comes to taxes trying to trace all of your trades when you use Shapeshift makes it a real PITA. Almost impossible to figure out once you start rolling in this space. I'm still trying to figure mine out. I wish I never used shapeshift ever. FOMO got the best of me I guess.

Changelly must be messed up, cus now you can't even use USD. 

I can totally understand why - paying with USD (credit card) on changelly went through some strange indian credit card company that included getting weird phone calls from india :wacko3:

Come back Shapeshift :heart:

I was never going to use USD, was just saying, XRP is nowhere to be found right now.  Even on Shapeshift.  Who knows.

For taxes, shapeshift gives you a receipt showing what you sent and how much you got all you have to do is enter your email at the end of the transaction and they send it to you.

Does anyone know what happens when the transaction to shapeshift is confirmed, but xrp is not sent yet because the xrp service currently unavailable? Will they send the btc back because the transaction failed, or will I receive the xrp when the service is back up?
