I'm only mining at 197 MH/s on 1070 FE's and have been using Claymore's mining software.
I'm getting abour $16 every couple days or so which is fine, but I'm more interested in mining something with much less difficulty with the potential to rise in value.

You may say "Mine ETH and buy the coins you want" but I'm not sure that is the most efficient is it?

What other options might you all propose?
