How about buying Litecoins? Less than 24h ago it was 1 LTC/$4, right now 1 LTC/$7. You could have almost doubled your money in less than 24h.

People say the Chinese market is driving the LTC prices up. And LTC is not even on MtGox. Imagine how much the prices might go up when it will. :)

Really? Damn! I was thinking about buying a couple of days ago. I think I actually will do that.

Assuming you've bought some yourself, where would you recommend buying?

Deposit btc to btc-e.com. Buy litecoins using bitcoins. Then store them offline in a wallet. :)

Any advantages that Litecoins offer over Bitcoins? As long as I pride myself on being somebody who bought into Bitcoin for more than its fiat value potential, I may as well be consistent and understand Litecoin as well.

Thanks for the link! Coin mining is really the only application that has ever made me regret not owning an AMD GPU.
