So after 35 days I figured it was time for a few real numbers.
I started here on the 18 (night) of January, with what was 15Th as the time, but that quickly doubled to 30 a day or 2 later and has been pretty flat since (just added 22 more, but I'll ignore that at the moment)
The other day when I brought up my 821's, I put them on slush for 2 hrs, just because I wanted to see what the daily CDT was there at my full hashrate. Then I moved them back to here.
So here is the basis to my numbers.
30Th/s for 35 days
Actual numbers from Kano based upon the above.
Let's start with my Kano experience.
I received .0976473 BTC in 35 days
this equals .0027899 per day
or .0000930 CDT
for the same amount of hash at slush, we'll work backwards
.00008703 CDT
.0026109 per day
or .0913815 BTC
You can say what you want and this is just a snapshot of 35 days, but even with the really ugly luck we've had, I've still made more here than the equivalent time at slush (who btw is averaging slightly *better* than 100% luck).
The upside that isn't in the above, if we find a block today, my numbers would go up again to a much larger amount of BTC than slush (e.g. .0045 (would be .007, but I'll factor out the .0027899 CDT) BTC to .002), if we improve on luck, we shatter the slush numbers. If I left today and went somewhere else, I'd still be paid for 5Nd ramp down along with where-ever else I go's take.
I just can't see any downside. Ok, except the fact that you don't have a little graphical ticker that is counting up based upon predicted BTC.... Oh but wait, it simply matches the number above, so what real benefit is it?
EDIT1: with 30Th/s this should work for anyone curious with a 14-15Th/s S9 or anything else because I took all the numbers down to CDT (Coin per Day per TeraHash/s)
Can I highlight one other thing. If you are getting into this to *make money*. Please understand, it took me 35 days @ 30Th/s to make *almost* .1 BTC, that means if I were a single S9, it would have taken approx 70 days to do the same. And that is only going to get harder with the growing network hash rate and diff changes. But most important. 70 * 10 is ~700 days to make 1BTC - that's a freaking long time (like almost 2 years) and why most people say if you *just* want to make money in this game *don't mine* go trade currencies!
