They were pennies on the dollar at the time. Acquired in late '09 or early '10. I didn't even buy that initial 1000; they were part of a bounty someone had posted on what.cd for a certain upload- don't even remember what it was. Probably a limited edition metal album or a scan of some rare book I had. I uploaded a lot there. All I remember was the guy said they were the future and walked me through setting up a wallet, then transferred. Pretty much forgot about them until much later.
