Hey there, just an update for anyone who is interested. I actually received XRP into my Ripple account a few days after putting some CPU power into
http://www.computingforgood.org. To clarify, I had not 'activated' the Ripple account by transferring in some XRP - the first XRP I received came directly from Computing for Good.
I only tested it for half a day to see if it worked, but my stats are 13 hrs = 20 XRP. A good way of generating a little XRP and getting your account up and running
