How to enable trust on the ripple wallet? - SOLVED -

[ebrain]

Hi - I am a newcomer, I am trying to buy some XRP to get started. I have created a hosted wallet and transferred some Bitcoin to it. I am trying to exchange these to XRP. When I click on send payment and choose my ripple wallet as destination I get the error message: "Wallet Not Found On Vault"

Somewhere I read that it can be a trustline issue so I checked my ripple wallet and it doesn't have any trustlines enabled. I tried to set trust but the screens asks me to enter the "Ripple Address" and Currency. Which ripple address do I enter? 

If it is a gateway's address, I don't have it. I have connected to GateWay Fifth when I created the account about 12 hours ago.  In the home screen I only see Fifth under "My Gateways" but I don't see any address. Is the gateway not connected yet? can somebody please explain this to me. Thanks.

Never mind, I figured out how to activate using https://bithomp.com/activation/

you can also enable a wallet simply by sending XRP to it from an exchange. If you create a Ripple wallet on @gatehub they will automatically activate your wallet with 30 XRP. If you create a hosted wallet on gatehub then you don't need to activate the wallet.

Thanks for the reply.  I had created the ripple wallet at gatehub.com but it was in disabled state without 30 XRP after an hour or so. I guess I did not wait long enough and jumped into activating myself by bithomp? How long does it take for auto activation by gatehub?
