Hello,
I have enjoyed learning about Ripple over the last few weeks by playing around with it. I have found that people who are not on this forum or the ripple forum are in need of a few hundred XRP's just to get started trusting and buying from BitStamp and other exchanges/gateways. I'm selling 321 XRP's on BitMit for that reason.
http://bitmit.net/en/?ref=2063I have sent free XRP's to friends and have made a number of successful sales on BitMit.net, I have helped people in Hong Kong, Australia, Poland, Switzerland and the UK. What fun!
A good quick start guide for buying from BitStamp:
