Activate Ripple account

[AlbertoGalla]

Hi, I've create a wallet in my computer using ripple admin console. It say that it isn't active yet because I have to send 20xrp. I've BTC in blockchain and I've try to shift them in XRP with Shapeshift but it return to blockchain. Is due to the not active account? How can I activate?

 

thank you a lot

You need to use an exchange to sell your BTC for XRP and send XRP directly to your wallet.  Trying to use some of these services that do this automatically causes a lot of issues.

I use Binance, a lot of people use it and it's pretty rare to run into any problems
