Hey madjek, As others have mentioned, Ripple is one of those coins that needs a little more info than just an address.
I talked with the devs here and let them know about that. They'll need an extra field added when thats selected.

For you , when your in your ripple wallet and your copying your address, look for that other thing to add. They will be the ones who provide that along with the wallet address. If it's a wallet on an exchange, like Poloniex for example, they'll put a big bright alert up there saying 'make sure to to include this id along with the address or we can't process it'.

I can definitely say at least Ripple and Monero have these additional fields. On some coins its optional, but you should be checking the wallet your sending stuff to because it's their option most times, not yours. If they say it has to be included, and the place your sending from doesn't have the option, don't use that coin because you probably won't get it.
