You can get a monthly VPN for $6.95 which they somehow converted to 34750 XRPs when I checked. So if you received the 50000XRP chunk from the other thread you can actually use it as payment for a service. Clever-- or at least moreso than most altcoins to date.
I hope they're smart enough to try the same trick at torrent forums (and that the VPN service is actually decent).

XRP is going to cause a huge splash in 2013, (Rippling) throughout the bitcoin community.
Unfortunate title but a good move nonetheless.
