My S7 and S7-LN earned me a total of $238.45 in the month of November on Antpool. Since this pool is only rocking about 1100 current users, should the next block we find have a huge reward? The last two blocks brought me a combined total of roughly $28, but I have only been mining Kano for about 10 days. Just trying to figure out how profitable this smaller pool can be. I think it's a great concept, less people creates a higher reward, but if you don't find a block you get nothing.
I am new as well. Smaller pools have bigger payouts but find less blocks. This particular pool has a 5ND associated with it. Once you reach a full ramp up, you will get your maximum payout for your contribution when a block is found. Everything is Luck and Variance, it just so happens that we are going thru a dry spell, no big deal. I would much rather go thru a dry spell during my ramp up period than hit a bunch of blocks when just beginning to mine here then go a long period without any blocks which is happening now. Either way, the pools fees are low, Kano, the person who runs the pool is a technical genius and responsive. I told myself that I would give this pool a 6 month time frame then do an analysis, I think that is fair to give it a chance and be respectful to the man who has dedicated his time and effort to run it. Mine On, don't be short sighted, all the data I have analyzed tells me that over time, miners do better here.
Mine On!! Come on Block!!
