I wish I blew all my savings on Ethereum, I badly want a detached house and a mancave, the money would grow into my dreams..

You might get another change if (well when) the bubble bursts

I mined Ripples over 3 years ago and totaly forgot about them until today!!  Found out  I have 16,000 ripples...no idea how to covert them into cold hard cash!!??

Easiest thing would be to exchange them for Bitcoin then sell those, worth about 1.5 Bitcoin or over £3000

Not a bad return for doing nothing and leasing out my CPU cycles

I'd hang onto them..

I was thinking that....there seems to be a lot of trading against other digital currencies and other actual currencies.  I need to do some research and find the best way of trading

How did you mine Ripple? It isn't like bitcoin or ethereum i.e. it cannot be mined like bitcoin.
Bitcoin and Ripple use 2 different methods to reach network consensus i.e Bitcoin uses proof of work (aka mining) to reach consensus, whereas Ripple uses an iterative consensus process (no mining involved).

The mining method they used was to lease your CPU cycles on PC's that you installed their software on.  They used peoples pc's for crunch data for good causes like cancer cures etc.....but this stopped a few years ago.  This method was not like bitcoining mining, but more like leasing your CPU time.
