**RAFFLE** in Support of XRPChat

[Mercury]

Hello all,

In celebration of the 2theMoon and the community silver bullion medallion being added to the Bank of Canada Museum I wanted to do something a little special.

I also wanted to show a little appreciation to @karlos, the XRPChat team and fellow members who helped make this possible as well as provide such an amazing home for all of us Zerpers.

To that end I am offering a open Raffle.

A raffle ticket is $5. At the end of next week, Jun 10 a winning ticket will be selected with the winner receiving a Community Silver Medallion ($45).

I have been asked how auto bridging works. In short it goes like this- Ripple automatically does all the conversion between order books and allows you to send a payment in an asset you may not own as long as you hold equal value in another asset and there is a market for it.

You can use this via Gatehub for example:

• You open send
• enter the destination wallet
• the amount you want to send  and the type
• and if your wallet has more than one asset is will search the best rate and you select the option you like!

In the example to the right the wallet does not have any USD but does have XRP that could be sent, converted and received as $5 USD for 7.6224 XRP

 

I may have made a hash of the explanation- comment on a better illustration if you like
