Because this is the best pool and gives 0.0024-0.0026 for each S9
Only a totally naive noob, or paid shill, would think a pool that keeps all the txn fees is the best.  Roll Eyes

Antpool is like Best Korea except that miners are volunteering to be slaves.

Some people just don't understand...

Look at the latest blocks.  Other than the empty block (yes, AntPool is STILL mining empty blocks, even though there are nearly 200k unconfirmed transactions) each block solved by AntPool today has averaged over 4BTC in fees.  Every.  Block.  As of this post, that's 77.14335391BTC AntPool has kept for themselves since the day started.

Let me put that in bold for you:

77.14335391BTC

They've solved 18 blocks so far and generated 225BTC from those solves.

They have kept 34.29% of your earnings.

i need to see real number to notice the difference not only words ...
how much you was making on antpool and how much you are making now when changed to other pool
that's the only answer that will make me change the pool
How many times do you need to read it:
Tx fees are averaging 10-30% - and more - above the base reward of 12.5, currently on Slush they are seeing block rewards + Tx exceeding 16.5 BTC, highest recently was over 21BTC.

Antpool keeps the Tx fees meaning that Kano, Slush, and others that give us the fees pay us 10-30% more than Antpool.
Clear enough for ya?

why any one would mine on antpool is a good ? that does not have any good answers other then they must not know how hard they are getting ripped off or do and dont seem to mind that ant pool keeps all the tx fees from every block.  and is basically an insanely high hidden fee.   You do all the mineing and they get most of the profits.

...and newbies can easily find that how much they can get DAILY
..

Yes, some people are just lazy and don't spend their time gathering knowledge like they should be.
No other reason for mining at antpool. Just laziness.

I'm also new to mining, and I think there are some reasons why people still mining on those big pools:
- Big pools also have better appearance and more well-known as well (even on wiki), and newbies can easily find that how much they can get DAILY
- They wanna get daily payment (even if they're smaller )
I now have 3 S9, 2 of them stick to viabtc or btc.com, and 1 to kano. 2 are for monthly payments, cause I sometimes can't wait for kano to get block & confirm, payment as deadline for invoices come....
Just my thought

Guys, just a daily by mining on pools that payout it bitcoin, you are automatically lowering the price of dash (which is being sold to get your bitcoin) and therefore lowering the amount of money you earn.

Now recommend me a good dash pool without hidden bullshit fees so I can stack up some dash before price skyrockets
So then perhaps checkout the ALTCOIN areas to find said altcoin pool... This area is Bitcoin, remember?

Hi all! I am a beginner and I want to start mining Bitcoins. From the Forum I understood, that Kano has lot of advantages, compared to Antpool. Could you send me a link, where I can register and start mining with Kano?

Just changed to Kano after reading this thread

Logged into slush and I had a pending balance waiting for me FROM 4 YEARS AGO! (it was below my minimum payout)

Put in a new trezor btc address, changed the min payout and got a payout 10 minutes later that has been sitting in slush for over 4 years

I used to run 7950 gpu rigs and mine to slush wayyyy back, was fun getting paid .1 btc every few hours, that would be REALLY fun now lol

Slush is the pool I used to mine with as well (under a different user name).  Good to see they are still around.

I just switched to Kano as well, I hope you guys know what ur talking about.  I'm only running a single s9 because of power limitations at my house so really doesn't matter.  I've been trying a few different pools out the last couple weeks.  I am a fan of the smaller pools even though I don't bring much to the table, I was at Bitminter for a while and loved it but the difficulty has just made that pool obsolete due to it's low miner population/smaller miner rig sizes.  Waited 54 days for one block once, got a big chunk of BTC but that's just too long, I need to pay the bills ya know.

You've gotta look at the stats long term. Thats the only thing that matters. I mined with antpool and slush before i changed to kano last year. I've been mining there ever since. Year every once in a while the blocks take longer, but overall i make more BTC on kano than i ever could have on antpool or slush.

31hours so far on Kano. Looking at recent average it should be around 1 a day. Hopefully fruits appear soon. Seen many blocks I have missed on Slush Sad.

Been on Kano for around 18 hours now, two blocks have been rewarded.
http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/images/mining/kano_rewards.gif
Notice the 'Your N Avg' is only around 300Gh/s, but the Miner is doing around 1.1Th/s at present. Also notice 'Your N Range' this is the amount of hours your work is averaged over, so around 5 days it will take for my 'Your N Avg' to reach the correct throughput value.
This is okay, as we can roughly predict the rewards from this. (0.00004807 / 302.62) * 1100 = 0.00014855 BTC per block

http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/images/mining/kano_block_stats.gif
Recently Kana has been roughly doing a block per day over the last 5 blocks. Lets take an average over the last 25 blocks. Taking 13.5 days to complete. So almost 2 blocks a day. 1.85 blocks processed in a day.

So a rough daily reward going by the results in the last 25blocks/2 weeks is, 0.00014855 * 1.85 = 0.00027509 BTC per day using the Antminer S5 @ 1.1Th/s.
