Well another trip to my local computer store and NO any sign of Nvidia ti anything or AMD, they are still all gone.  I was lucky enough to pick up a card or two before Christmas. I am sure everyone returned their smart watches and drones and bought Graphics cards for mining crypto.

I am just doing this small time on my home/work pc. I wish I had a garage full of mining equipment, maybe someday it will be common for people to build mining cellars with solar or wind power access. 

Right now I am switching between Ravencoin RAV ( https://ravencoin.org/ )and Bitcore. BTX ( https://bitcore.cc/) recently took a big dump but so did the difficulty. If it does recover BTX is a risky but still profitable alt coin. Raven coin has been slowly increasing in value while drastically increasing in difficulty. Which is usually a good sign that the market is getting backed up by people buying in on the way up and not just bots pushing leverage spots. 

https://Crypto-bridge.org trades both of these coins and it makes it rather convenient to go to one spot.  Then I can trade BTC for Steem or steemcash on https://openledger.io to send here. It is one big cycle.
