I opened a coin-base pool account. Started the minerd program, and the kilo-hashes were indicating on the command console (indicating hashing and "yays!"), but no activity reflected in the pool. Does anyone here know why this might likely happen? Also, is CPU mining the only option now for Stablecoin? What software is the best for mining? As indicated, I was using minerd. How about a stable or reliable pool?
Mining for Stablecoin is scrypt mining. Use CGMiner 3.7.2 or lower if you want to use a GPU for mining (the only realistic way to mine).
As for you coins not showing up yet, I'm not certain. I mined with the coin-base team for a while, but when I switched to the SBC CryptoCult pool, (
http://sbc.cryptoculture.net/index.php) my KHs/sec went up and, more importantly, the stability of my connection improved substantially (no more waking up in the morning to discover my connection had failed).
I'm trying to figure out how to install this CGMiner 3.7.2 program on my windows 7. I was reading the "windows-build.txt" in one zip file downloaded from here (
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.7/) and in the process of following the instructions in the shell, I get this message from attempting to enter the first command line - "mingw-get install mingw32-libpdcurses" - into the shell: "sh mingw-get command not found"
Any ideas on what to do?
It would be nice if CGMiner 3.7.2 was just a simple executable program to download - instead of going through this build process. I thought there was a executable pre-compiled somewhere.
