I'm back! I now have new offers up on BitMit.

Rates are around 6,500 XRP to the BTC but change from time to time and I adjust my auctions as necessary.

You're right. If I had noticed that, I wouldn't have bothered. If he was legitimate, Chuck would have already gotten the deal. If not, well, obviously I wouldn't want it. I'm not sure why I didn't notice.

In any event, tyler26 returned the Bitcoin and I am going to remove the scam accusation. (If you guys who quoted me making the accusation could please either delete or modify it in your quotes, I'd appreciate that. The Bitcoin was returned. I have not been scammed.)

Sorry for the confusion. Yeah, I'm selling XRP and Chuck is buying. Someone else mentioned in the thread that they were selling XRP and I didn't see any public response from Chuck. So I offered in PM to buy it. I then just wanted to warn people in case it was a scam so they wouldn't get multiple people trying to accept the same offer. Apparently, Chuck was already talking to him in PM, which I had no idea.

I wasn't trying to thread jack.

I have sales back up on BitMit.

The point of the giveaways it to gain users. Unless those giveaways are done very badly, they should incrase demand at least as much as they increase suplpy. Opencoin controls the giveawys. Opencoin wants the price of XRP to be high. You can connect the dots.

I'll run a special, 30K XRP for 5 BTC.

First four people to claim it, get it.

These are not auctions. These are sales. Please pay promptly and I will do the same with the XRP. Positive feedback is appreciated and will be returned.

I've been selling on BitMit for around 7,000 XRP to the BTC. My inventory is low right now, but I'll have new offers up within an hour or so.

I am. You can find my offers on BitMit or you can PM me. Let me know how many XRP you want or how many Bitcoins you are willing to pay. The market is very dynamic now, so I can offer you a better rate if you can promise me a fast transaction.

Prices have dropped. PM me for better rates.

I have placed XRP for sale on bitmit.net too:

Currently 22,000 XRP for 1 BTC.

Boy do I wish I knew that! I moved lots of my XRP into BTC when BTC dropped to 100 expecting it to go back up -- and then XRP goes up!

Now 5 successful trades. Thanks everyone. (Please feel free to post vouches.)

It depends where you shop. Right now, I've seen prices ranging from 1,900 XRP to about 4,800 XRP. The market is kind of unstable. If you asked me right this second, I'd offer 3,000 XRP for 0.25 BTC.

Wow, rates have changed and it's basically no longer possible to fund your Ripple account for 0.1 BTC. The price of BTC has fallen and the price of XRP has gone up.

I changed the thread title. Sorry.

The retail XRP->USD rate is around one dollar per 400 XRP. You're asking for 2,000. I'm not surprised you're not getting any takers.

He's not kidding. I pulled this picture from his Facebook page: http://ptreport.thrillnetwork.net/images/wof/fan1.jpg

You can't trust individuals, so trust governments! Gotta dig upi the quote from these forums that went something like, "Every major government to back a currency has reneged."

I only like Rand as a person. What a sexy, sexy woman.

My conspricay theory, based on no facts or special knowledge but sheer speculation is this -- gox wasn't holding as many bitcoins as they should have been and were worried that they would have to buy bitcoins at $200+ each to fund withdrawls. (maybe they were planning to buy them when the rally ended but it never did and they got in dfeeper and deeper) So they staged a problem, crashed the price, bought up all the bitcoins they needed, and then resumed business as usual. They hope hte volatility will actually bring more speculators, becuase the more the market moves, the more opportunities for things like day trading there are, and nohitng makes gox more money than people who trade a lot.

It assumes Bitcoin, the system not the currency, cant create any realeconomic value. If you assume that then bitcoin is a ponzi scheme.
