So you found out that XRP is starting to gain in price and you remembered you had XRP stored in a cold wallet or paper wallet.

If you have your Ripple address and secret key you are in luck and can still access your money and send it to Coinbase.

First locate your Ripple address and Secret Key. Once you have found those install node.js

Once you have installed node.js

Create a file locally on your computer called script.js

Copy this code into that file but remember to fill in the parameters to the script.

address, secret, destination.address and amount.value which is the amount of XRP you want to transfer.

To execute the script open a terminal and use the CD command to navigate to the directory of your computer that the script is located at for me that is

/Users/omar/desktop/my_ripple_experiment

So in my case I would run CD /Users/omar/desktop/my_ripple_experiment

Then I would run node script.js

Instantly you should see XRP in your Coinbase account.
