I tried for an hour to buy ripple somewhere that didn't require a huge leap of faith on my part. A total joke.

Two of the links Ripple labs provides for exchanges don't even work. The one bid i tried to make wouldn't allow me to set my ask price, I had to sell at market and my price was going to be a 25% mark up on current prices, with a $200 trade fee.

These guys that are running Ripple sure are embarrassing themselves, or more likely this reinforces my belief that Ripple has nothing to do with average Joe's like me moving away from fiat. They have a different agenda.

1. have exchanges that actually work and convey trust
2. have a marketing message that somebody can understand. Ripple is the cure for too many things that I don't care about.

How is Ripple worth anything if it so hard to trade.... I don't get it. I convinced myself to stay way from Ripple and NXT for the time being.

You must be trolling as they all work fine for me. Try ripplewise.com

I guess you missed the bit on the logo which reads 'Beta'.
