I just switched over yesterday. Yes, the 8 day ramp is kinda painful and I don't fully understand why it is necessary? I'm willing to stick it out because small pool mining seems like much more fun, but maybe someone could explain the rationale for the 8 day ramp a little better?
The "ramp" time varies based on difficulty and pool hash rate. Right now it's pretty large.
The advantages, once you get ramped up, is that you are sort of "invested", for lack of a better word. What I mean is, let's say you have a power outage, and during that time when your miners are offline, the pool finds a block. During that time you are "ramping down", however you will still get a credit for your 5N portion of the block.
That also means if/when you leave the pool, you experience the 5N ramp down period, so you get (proportional) credits for any blocks during that time.

the daily average for the last 3 or so months which is ~0.000251 BTC/TH/day.
.00028838 BTC /day /TH
Are these #s a pretty accurate expectation? Obviously the last 3 months were pretty brutal luck-wise from the stats, but those are still strong payouts per TH/day. If luck comes back to "normal" then these payouts could be even better.
The 8 day ramp up causes me some concern, but I think I'm going to switch my miners over and go with Kano for the long-haul (after the fork, don't want to lose that extra free b2x waiting on the ramp-up would cost me), that payout per TH/day is crushing what I'm currently making and that's with "bad" luck!

Luck is no longer negative here for November.

As of now at 8 blocks out of 7.41 expected for the month.
Just remember, luck is luck is luck is luck. Variance is still true, and long blocks will still happen here.

Keep seeing post about people wanting S9s. If you pay 30% more for your miner than you need to run it 30% longer to pay for it right? If you have to take another month or more to pay for it why bother? They will be for sale again before that. And don't think for a minute that 3rd party dealers are selling you miners they have already. They have some that are going to come in the future then they will ship them to you. You will be waiting anyway.
No one is going to sell these things without massive mark up.

So much fun getting that notification that a block was found! Let's keep cracking those hashes. (And like VRobb, hopefully one day I'll see me on that acclaim board.)

Liking this getting just about 1% of a bitcoin with each block. Let's make this month great again!

Looking to purchase more Antminer S9s. Don't want to pay the ebay prices. I searched Google and can't seem to find anything that monitors stock on bitmain's site. What is the best approach to purchase these miners?
good luck
I have no experience with this site, but [scam site url removed] is a reseller of S9s. It looks like they have currently have stock.
Do your research before going to any 3rd party site. I'm pretty sure Bitmain says they do not have any official resellers. And scam sites abound.

Follow them on twitter. They often announce new batches.

So, what happened to the total hashrate here? Where'd everybody go? Don't tell me they buggered off to mine Bitcoin Cash?
Just a couple of big guys switched somewhere else and I doubt it was a bch pool, because for them time lost on mining the useless clone would never be compensated.As for home miners, some might have gone elsewhere due to somewhat smaller payouts than expected. Last December I was also one of those who were terrified by the downstreak of luck and left kano pool for a month, but not this time. Our fears and "common sense" often disagree with mathematics

Most of them were rented hashes and kano told them to step out of the pool for a bit (not leave, just come back in awhile).

Remember that your numbers are luck based.
Luck changes ... every block.
You can't predict luck, there's no way to game it.
The actual result (Pool average) is Luck% * MeanTx% * 0.991
The expected result (Pool average) is when the luck is 100% = MeanTx% * 0.991
The difference here vs other PPLNS pools, is that "0.991" number (i.e. my 0.9% fee) is better than anywhere else worth mining
