Activating my Wallet

[Rschastain]

I transferred bitcoin from coinbase, but I got an email saying I have to set a trust line that of course gave me an error. The support page says they will fund my wallet with 20 ripple once my transaction is received but two days now and nothing. Do I need to sit and stew while I wait or something else. I was pointed towards bithomp, but it wants me to pay $94 to quick activate with 20 ripple and I think that’s a little obscene.

You need to send XRP to your wallet to activate it before you will receive anything.  You will get your 20 free XRP only AFTER you've already activated your wallet with 20 

[Rschastain]

So how do I do this and this seems very odd. A friend sent btc last week and his wallet activated, gave him 20 ripple and proceeded to do whatever. Why did it work for him

[mrcarrot]

He must have already had 20 XRP in his wallet, otherwise it wouldn't have worked

[Rschastain]

What’s the best way to get that ripple into my wallet

[mrcarrot]

I used Binance.  I sent ETH from coinbase to Binance, traded for XRP, and sent the XRP to Gatehub.

[Rschastain]

Does it take a while to get on binance or are there any issues like this one on gatehub that I have to wait long periods to be able to do anything

[mrcarrot]

I believe binance doesnt require you to be verified in order to deposit/withdraw crypto, there's just a 2 BTC / day limit.

[Rschastain]

Well binance isn’t signing up new members so I guess I’ll try kraken

[mrcarrot]

Alternatively, I can exchange them for you, less any fees involved.  have done this a few times on here

[Rschastain]

That friend who’s account is active sent ripple and it didn’t come through or deactivate the account. What do you think is the issue

Been waiting for over two weeks on Tier 3 verification, but tier 2 only took 2 days. tier 2 allows coin to coin transactions, but not fiat in the US.

Hi guys,

I have the same problems. I transfered money from EU bank, and also some value of Bitcoin... I got an email to set trust, but because my wallet is still disabled I cant do that. I thought I can transfer the money to Gatehub, and then buy XRP and reserves.

What should I do now ?

Buy some ETH or BTC, sell it on Binance for XRP, send the XRP to GateHub

Do you have a transaction hash of that transfer?
