    Since it's been impossible to find a new graphics card (not for mining) I put the money burning a hole in my pocket in to Ethereum and EWT. It would seem I'm currently £200 up in 4 days even with exchange fees and a fall in the pound... Just going to put the graphics card on credit and forget about this wallet for a few years!
