Glad to hear things going well for you.
Never know what'll happen sitting on those. Could end up paying for 20 of itself in the future! Has Litecoin taken off much? I remember reading about it a good while back and it seemed to be shadowed by Bitcoin and people ignored it, but it's starting to appear more now especially with recent bitcoin fluctuating.
Unfortunately as well I think should an opportunity like this ever arise again, i.e. being able to use computer power to make money essentially due to the media attention of bitcoin and success of those who got in early and harvested it will be much more difficult this time round to make as big a profit. I remember attempting to mine when bitcoin first came about but just left it as was using an old laptop. Didn't pursue it any further. Some people have most likely made some serious cash from it, provided they've managed to either convert the coin to something else or withdraw successfully. But I can't really see bitcoin going any further than a currency associated with illicit activities or those that require some form of anonymity (off-shore hosting/drugs/counterfeit goods/money laundering), although I'd like to be surprised.
