Those were the days when you could profitably mine using a graphics card. I mined a load in 2011 although to be honest, even then It wasn't that profitable as although difficulty was significantly lower, so too was the value (approx $3 per coin if memory serves) so when it increased dramatically to $13 a coin I dumped a load of it!!
Isn't hindsight wonderful!
Dang... I'm sorry to hear that. I am hoping Steem follows a similar trajectory and I am kicking myself for selling some around $2. :)
