HOW TO MINE RIPPLE COIN XPR
So for those of you who want more free XRP, I would direct you to DigitalOcean:
http://www.digitalocean.com/
You can sign up using your e-mail, a password, a credit card number and this promo code:
2014SSD
This will get you a free $10 credit, enough to open one small "droplet" for two months. Not much, but it is free money, eh?
If the promo code expires check this site out for more:

Setting up a server on DigitalOcean is super easy. After you have signed up, you will be asked to create a droplet.
You will first enter a hostname, this can be whatever.
Then you'll select a size. I went with the smallest 1 CPU server, it will run for two months.
Select your region. I selected the one closest to home.
Then you will select the image, I would recommend Ubuntu 13.10 x 64.
Then you will create the droplet (it will take a minute.)
Your username (root) and password will be sent to your e-mail.
Once you have your password, you can connect to your server by clicking on the Access button and then by clicking Console Access. This will open a shell in your browser. Once you are in the shell, you have two commands to enter:
sudo apt-get install boinc-client
boinccmd --project_attach http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ <your weak account key here, no angle brackets>
The URL in the above command will not be underlined when you enter the command in the shell.
Note: nothing obvious will happen when you enter the second command, you'll need to start top to see it working (Ctrl-Z to stop top.) You'll have to type exit twice to get out of the shell.
That's pretty much it. I just started mine up so I haven't identified any problems yet. Again, this is about as much CPU power as your average 2-year-old home PC, so don't expect much, but free money is always good
