I have heard good things about kanopool, so I have decided to switch from slushpool. I did this yesterday. I am trying to get an understanding of how the pool works and the statistics I am looking at. The pool just found a block so maybe I will see some action start. Should I see that block and info under "rewards" because it is not displaying. Or do I have to have until it has "matured" to display?
Hello! Welcome to the best BTC pool on the planet!
This pool uses PPLNS, which means payed per last number of shares. It takes ~3 days of full mining for your rewards to "ramp" up to "full" payout. This may seem confusing at first (I'm still not sure I fully understand it...), however what it means is you, and anyone else, also have your reward "ramp down" when you aren't mining. Therefore if you drop offline for whatever reason, or shift to another pool, you still receive rewards for 3 days as it "ramps down".
Being a "small" pool, variance can be quite a bear at times. However, you should find over the course of a month that your rewards come out higher than other pools.
