I bit the bullet and took the loss this morning. Too bad I didn't wait as XRP has gone up significantly today. I traded it for HShares and withdrew it from ZB.com. i'm done with them for now. I tried to switch back to BTC and get back onto XRP during the run up but my BTC got stuck at GateHub and isn't expected to post for 24-48 hours because my wallet wasn't activated. I'm falling into all the newbie traps with exchanges. It's not such a pity that I lost out on the opportunity since XRP has almost doubled and my money got stuck with ZB.com and now with Gatehub. Someone should write a newbie's guide on how to avoid all the pitfalls of exchanges and either getting stuck (unable to withdraw) or getting delayed (transferring BTC and the exchange not crediting it because of their complicated "trustline" scheme).
