Slush has less users so every block is devided on smaller amount of ppl. But, as there is less users / hash rate, blocks are found less often.
With Guild, there are moe ppl / more hash rate, so reward is smaller, but block come more often.
It's like: "Do you want meto give you 2$ every 2 days, or do you want 1$ every day"....same thing.
Topic: Slush vs BTC using 3 Antminer S1 observation (Read 980 times)
Give this a read, breaks down the difference in pools:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-mining-pools-list-104664
Slush uses a score system, so sometimes you'll get a high payout per block, but then there's sometimes a very long wait times between found blocks.
BTCGuild has lower variance, since it's a bigger pool, and has steady smaller payouts, which continue paying out even after you've left the pool depending on the length of shifts you put in.

I am a rather new miner so maybe I am missing something obvious but here goes.
When I run my 3 Antminer S1 with Slush my average payout per block is something like 0.004, sometimes a little less sometimes a little more.
With the same machines working at BTC Guild after generating on average 400-500K shares is only 0.00024!
We are talking a BIG difference. Any ideas why?
