[Fund Raising] XRP-giveaway for Steem users.

[ripplerm]

[Update 14-Dec-2017] : The Giveaway Activity had Ended. 

 

I'm planning an alpha-launch for a new Gateway that's bridging Steem into RCL (as discussed earlier here), by the end of this month.

Before the launch, I would like to run an XRP-giveaway campaign for Steem users, so that they could get their new ripple accounts activated easily.

However, due to the recent spike in XRP price, the amount needed for this giveaway would be quite costly if it's all come from my own pocket, thus I'm asking help from our community... 

 

Anybody who's like to support this project, kindly donate some XRP to:

Next week, I shall create a post on Steemit platform to announce the giveaway. 20xrp will be given to each Steem user who response the post with his (un-activated) new ripple address, on a first-come first-served basis, until the XRP in the above account being used-up.

wow, i agree with @Eik , @Mercury I know we have many pinned one,s can we please pin this one too ? 

I am committing for 500 XRP.  So glad to be able to contribute this way. 

Many thanks for reaching out ! I hope Ripple does some contribution, as this is going to add to the ecosystem. 

@Tim @nikb @JoelKatz Steemit users are pretty tech savvy. We can easily expect loads of people availing @ripplerm's offer, If Ripple has any xrp earmark'ed for such purposes, - just bringing to your attention,  here's a good place to contribute a bit. Will help entire ecosystem.

Kindly,
R8

I had decided to end this giveaway after some 6-months of running. 

There's only ~2000xrp given away during this period, and there's still plenty of xrp left in the account. Hence I decided to send back all the donations to their original accounts. The following table show the full list of the refunds..... do let me know if anybody was missed.
