I can't believe I keep doubting this pool. I am a total idiot. I'm still new to this and have slowly gone from 1 S9 to 3 over the last couple of months. Being new I am just in such a hurry to feel like I'm doing the right thing and making the most money back that I can for what I've put into it. In doing so I'm making bad decisions so I can see something each day rather than potentially waiting days or weeks for a payout. This is just not the best way...
I left thinking I was doing the right thing getting consistent payouts and it would even itself out. Yes, maybe I could make more on Kano at the end of the month but Slush would be close enough I wouldn't mind getting a little less for consistency... I looked back at the big months on Kano and thought... wow there were some really big months but they had a lot more hashing power on those months. I thought to myself they only found 10 blocks in December and the hashing is down considerably from mid of last year. I thought, I thought, I thought too much...
If only everyone were half as analytical. Welcome back.
I think all miners "try" to be that analytical but it is really complicated to get a real number for the past. And yes, the past is the past and it makes no impact on the future, but it does give you the "what if". It is really complicated to calculate, and even more tricky to keep up with the real numbers.
That is why I created the CDT (Coins per Day per Th) stat on the minergain site. mtaboneweb, I have had nobody verify those stats and you seem like just the guy to do it! if you want to spend a few minutes checking my calcs, please pm me and I will get you the raw data. Speaking of raw data, since the Kano api does not share rewards, the only way I can compute the numbers is to paste rewards data into the site. I am using my own each time, but I started mining in late July, so can only do 3 month stats yet (soon to be 6). I would love to get a yearly stat so if anyone has been mining with Kano for more than a year, please create a minergain account, set yourself up in the pools section then click on the monitor tab then rewards. Select the Kano pool and upload your rewards. Once I get more data, I will add a yearly CDT on the site since I have slushpool's data since they started. Already the numbers are heavily swinging towards Kano, and I think that the yearly one will be even more confirmation to all of us here.
Thanks and Mine on!
