Midterm Downtrend - January will possibly be a rather flat / slightly declining month given historical precedent with patterns very closely repeating themselves and the Chinese New Year introducing a very high level of uncertainty at the end.
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).
Sorry if i come off as a noob, but I've taken 5 months off as well. I've forgotten how to setup the mining software properly as a result. I was following this tutorial (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260049.0) but changing the parameters for stablecoin and trying to connect to this pool [http://sbc.cryptoculture.net/] but to no avail so far. I remember following a similar procedure and just creating the .conf & .bat file containing " yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=8 (the number of your cores 8 in my case) -addnode=82.211.30.212" when I solo mined YAC. I know there's some small error I'm making. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, or step by step directions to getting started pool mining again haha, as I'm very interested in SBC and think it has a bright future.
I receive payouts at the lowest level and started sending them at first to btc-e, then didn't like their withdrawal fees, then to mcxnow where i quickly realized they were gettign eaten at under the minimum deposit and now they go straight to bitzino. yes, bitzino of all online sites / wallets to deposit is completely free to transact any amount including withdrawals.
If you guys could give instructions for setting it up as opposed to solo mining please.
yes that would be great. never used minerd/cpuminer before

good advice; I turned the fan up to 100% and underclocked the memory as you suggested which gave me an increase of an average 5 Mh/s & the temp. dropped about 4C. thanks!!

Safe Temperature for a single 7850 to run 24/7 ?

I just started GPU mining with a Radeon R7850 (Ultra OC Edition). I'm using Bitminter for now since I'm a noob before I move on to dabble in scrypt mining and have a few questions.
1) First and most importantly I plan on mining 24/7 so I need to know what is a "safe" temperature to do this at.
I've maxxed out the GPU clock setting and am getting slightly above 300 Mh/s at 74C.
2) As I understand it the Memory Clock setting is not crucial for SHA-256 but is important for scrypt mining. I tried to max out the Memory clock setting while the GPU was at maximum but it crashed. Is this just a setting I should tweak once I am scrypt mining?
3) Let me know if there is something glaringly wrong I am doing or can improve upon:
