heybarry Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello, I am writing this in regards to activating the ripple wallet. I have for the past few days been trying to transfer from my hosted wallet which I had transferred some ETH from Coinbase. I am aware it the ripple wallet requires 20xrp in order to become active. I have tried to send from shape shift and it just says try later even though I am 100% sure all addresses for the wallets are right. Is there another simple way of sending the money to my ripple wallet. I have also looked at https://bithomp.com/ but to be honest this was above me a little as I had no idea what any of it meant.As for https://changelly.com I go through all the steps and then get "Server unavailable Please try again in a minute" This is my first foray into Crypto Currency so as you all will be familiar it takes a bit of getting used to. Any advice will be welcome as I have been on reddit and many people just say you send 20xrp to the wallet but its the initial 20xrp I need to convert. thanks in advance Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcarrot Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Your best bet is to send ETH to a different exchange (such as binance) to convert into XRP and then send that XRP to your gatehub wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybarry Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks for the quick reply I will log into Binance and try that as I had opened an account when trying every possible avenue to sort this ridiculous setup. I feel Gate hub could possibly look at the need to be able to do that within the site itself. I'm sure there is a reason they don't but for someone who is new to this game it becomes needlessly complicated navigating the crypto currency world. Thanks again.

heybarry Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Out of interest would there be a reason that Shapeshift isn't allowing me to send to my Ripple wallet. I have been told they are good but the more I read about them they appear to have just as many bad things said about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybarry Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 So I sent some ETH to Binance and Gatehub says its sent but nothing has arrived. I am guessing it may take some time and then I need to sit down and figure how to get it converted on Binance to XRP then back to gate hub.

Hope this helps. https://buyingripple.com/ I have had no issues transferring coins in and out of Binance. It will take a little longer if they get overwhelmed but typically, most transactions only take a few minutes. Good luck Edited January 2, 2018 by Champipple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
