~~~Help moving BTC~~~

Recommended Posts

Im new to the whole Ripple and wallet thing.

I sent some BTC to my gatehub hosted wallet with the desire of buying Ripple.  However, a hosted wallet cannot buy ripple.  

 

I want to now move my BTC from my gatehub hosted wallet to my gatehub ripple wallet.  However there is a ripple network fee preventing me from doing so.  I have no ripple in my gatehub hosted wallet.  What steps do I need to take to move the ripple from my hosted wallet onto my ripple wallet?

@namini thanks for your reply.

Hosted wallets do not require 20 XRP to activate.  Ripple wallets do.

As it stands, I dont have any XRP in my hosted wallet, nor do I have a way of buying XRP using BTC from my hosted wallet.

Issue is unresolved at this time.

yes I understand your issue.

I see several solutions to your problem as I explained above:

- Activate your wallet with paypal https://bithomp.com/activation/ cost around $10/10€

- Trade any cryptocurrency you have on any other website for XRP and send at least 20 XRP to your Gatehub wallet address (start with a r...)

Maybe you can send some of the BTC you have on Gatehub to a website like Poloniex? (or maybe you can't do that with a hosted wallet).

 

If you really can't figure it out, post your wallet address here (start with a r...) moderators don't like people asking for activation but looks like you're really struggling.

Thanks Namini.  

I didnt realize I need to activate my hosted wallet.   I about 20$ on that wallet at this time.  Wouldn't really make sense to activate it.  Its strange that I can accept BTC without activation...

 

Anyways here is my wallet address to deposit/accept ripple.

No, hosted wallet don't need activation. But you need to transfer your btc from your hosted wallet to your Ripple wallet to trade.

And yes you need to have your Ripple wallet activated first.

 

@enej it's really complicated, and I also noticed wallets funding is paused.

Thanks for the info.  I want to move BTC from my hosted wallet to my Ripple wallet.  However, I dont have any ripple in my hosted wallet.  I also tried sending Ripple to my hosted wallet, but the funds still havent arrived yet (I sent 1 XRP to my Hosted Wallet).

I don't think you need to have XRP in your hosted wallet to transfer your BTC to your Ripple Wallet (edit: actually you might need a few XRP to pay for  transaction fee)

But yes you need to have your Ripple Wallet activated with at least 20 XRP.
