Hi all, I'm looking to trade an activated, funded Ripple account
Trying to trade a Ripple wallet is
extremely unwise. There is nothing the recipient can do to know if the sender has kept a copy of the secret key, With the secret key the sender could access the account at anytime.
If you don't want the account anymore cancel all trade offers and zero all trust lines then offer to sell all but the account reserve of 50 XRP to someone by sending it to a new Ripple address/wallet.
