Hi i've been looking at a lot of comparison sites like coinwarz, etc but it looks like they're very outdated just wanted to ask this community quickly what's the most stable coin to mine, i used to do a lot of mining back in 2012-2013 looking to get back into it. I'm not really looking for the best coin to mine for today, i'm looking to mine a steady coin with steady income for about a month.
thanks

There isn't any word like "steady" in the crypto world.Bitcoin ,Decred,ethereum are profitable as of now but ethereum & bitcoin the most cause of the recent pumps they both had.If you can get cheap electricity then mine Bitcoin as it is more steady IMO.

Litecoin price has been quite stable in the $3-$3.50 range since about a month after the Litecoin reward halfing last summer. Difficulty has been fairly stable, with a VERY slow creep up trend.
Downside - go ASIC or go home, GPUs haven't been profitable for a couple of years or so even with VERY VERY cheap electric, and even with free electric the GPU will probably die before it manages to mine enough to pay for itself (much less the REST of the system supporting it).

this is wrong, in 2014 early 2014 and until august it was very profitable to mine with gpu, you just need to search for the correct coin asic are crap i would never invest in any asic, there is no roi there, right now you can do 250 euro a month with two gpu, with a mere consumption of 300w, this is more than any asic out there

DO please pay attention to the context before you go off on someone. BTW, if I'd bought my SP20 and my S5's during the price war, I'd have VERY EASILY achieved ROI on them just by mining, even with my not-particularly-low electric rates. There is almost no chance of RoI RIGHT NOW on any currently-available ASIC, but that will almost definitely change once the full-custom 14/16nm generation manufacturers start selling miners to the public (or chips to third-party manufacturers for THEM to make miners out of as the case may be).

I'd vote for Gridcoin http://www.gridcoin.usGridcoin rewards BOINC computation (CPU/GPU/ASIC - 26 projects & individually rewarded). BOINC has existed for more than a decade, and will continue to exist well into the future - that seems pretty stable to me.
