Unfortunate title but a good move nonetheless.

XRP is going to cause a huge splash in 2013, (Rippling) throughout the bitcoin community.

It's unclear from their statement whether they are accepting payments through ripple,  or accepting xrp for vpn services.

I think it is clear, that they are probably good friends with Jed McCaleb.

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).
