Ok, so I have a question that I hope someone can help me out with. As some of you may have noticed I have (my company) has recently been climbing the hashing ranks (blockmines). I have been programming my machines one at a time and this is part of a much larger project that will span months and years and possibly take us into our own Kano pool once we become large enough. So where we are sitting now is a fraction of where we will be. I have a business partner who has entrusted me with showing him Kano from the very beginning so he has not seen any other pools. I have mined several others, antpool, eligius, slush, ghash, and when you come back to the fundamentals of what I am looking for in a pool there is nothing that I have found that can compete with Kano. It took me a long time to make the switch to Kano, but they represent everything that is right about bitcoin mining, the biggest one is they are not in China
. So now that I have gotten all that out of the way we are planning to build a rather large infrastructure with Kano at the center of it all. The one thing that my buddy and I cannot figure out is the top whales like canaan, antpower, and there some others I cannot think of right now, but they jump in for a few hours and then bounce out. What is that all about? Some stay longer like canaan but he will disappear and jump to another pool. I hope he reads this because I want to know what it is they are doing and where they are going. Is there an advantage to doing what they are doing. I would like CK or Kanos opinion on this. With their kind of hashing power they have the ability to impact everyone's rewards. I am not interested in pool hopping and didn't think with a PPLNS payout it would make sense to do so, but apparently they do. What am I missing??
Thanks
