I have switched to Kano today as well after reading this thread. I was on Slushpool for about 5 days. I'm new to mining, so learning and trying things out.
Was getting around 0.00003000 BTC per block on Slushpool, they could come up between 4 and 8 times a day.
So on Slushpool since 13th Sept till end of Sept 17th, a 1.1Th/s (Antminer s5) made 0.00192176BTC. So around 0.00048044BTC a day on average.
So I'll leave it on Kano for a week and see if there is a noticeable difference.

I switched over to Kano today
You can see at block stats that the 5. and 6. was poor performing days at slush. Yesterday was quite the opposite and would match your antpool earnings easily.
There's always some luck involved.
There's even more luck at kano, but then again a block does occationally take two days too.
Of course, as more people mine at the smaller pools they get bigger and blocks more often. We can't wait for that to happen, we gotta point our miners at them.

Switched to slush day and a half ago. Here are some calculations.
I've taken earnings log for roughly 24 hours period (23:57-23:05):
slush share stats for 24 hours period, 11 workers:
This looks like 0.03837569 total amount earned for 24 hours period or 0,00348869 earned per 1 miner which is not so great at all!
On the other hand while running on ant pool, I've got the following earning stats per the same 24 hours period:
ant share stats 24 hours period, 12 workers PPLNS+:
Which gave me total of 0.06371272 for 12 workers or 0,00530939 per single worker which is much better. Does anyone has similar experience or may be more positive experience with slush? As per my understanding I should earn a little more while mining with slush because it also shares transaction fees while ant does not.

Seriously folks. Why are you mining there? You are giving up SO MUCH coin. Here's just the past 24 hours:
In the past 24 hours, Antpool has made 29.50355862BTC for themselves from transaction fees ALONE. They've solved 17 blocks, which means they've made an average of about 1.74BTC per block. That turns into 13.88% fees they are charging their miners.
Why are you giving up 13.88% of your income?
Mine on a pool that pays you for your work.

I'm curious to how much of their hashrate is simply b/c they put themselves as the target pool. I hope/trust users do actually change the payout address to their own, but maybe some see the btc coming to their wallet and think it 'good enough'
i would think readers of this pool sub-forum wouldn't be your target audience - and likely don't use their poo(l)
they line up in droves to buy their used miners and mine at the pool. how greedy can one company be? boy, we've all come a long way from geeks at our computers mining bitcoin for $10. only wanting enough bitcoin to buy another gpu for gaming. but hey, let's just give them or any other greedy farm corp your money.
Where would these greedy fucks be if Bitcoin was still under $100? Hmmm Imagine if the fastest miners were still the usb miners? Then bitcoin wouldn't be in the hands of the wealthy. and still in the hobbyist.
sorry kinda went off track there. probably not the thread for this

. This thread isn't self-moderated.SO what is the best and reliable mining pool we can choose?
I dont know why people still in that Pool. They are not loyal to Satoshi's ideas.
I always prefered to mine at Kano. The luckiest pool out there.
I always prefered to mine at Kano. The luckiest pool out there.
Personally, I've supported P2Pool for years running my own node and merge mined 8 other coins. I did not pay any transaction fees. Unfortunately, in order to be sustainable, I need to be at >50pHs.
There are so many other pools out there that are more profitable. How someone could invest thousands in an ASIC and not research pools is beyond me. I guess you are right when you say they just leave the default pools set as is.
Also I have heard people say that they think because they bought from Antminer 🐜 that it must be best to mine with them at Antpool. Boy oh boy are they wrong. Thanks for sharing this. Its worth it if we get even one miner to switch from 🐜pool.

I'm currently mining with one s9 on eu.pool.btc.com
does anybody think if i switch to https://kano.is i would see much difference?

Hello! My question is probably at the wrong place but I ask here because i read this whole post and understood that in this forum there are some people who really know a thing or two about mining. I know nothing about mining. But I really want to start mining because it seems like a pretty sweet opporunity and I need to find between 20,000$-40,000$ in the next 2-3 years for my education. The problem is that I have no clue where shall i start and how much money I will need to invest in hardware. I got a little off topic my question is: Can someone tell me where I could read some TRUTHFUL documentation on the whole deal, this should include the hardware i need the way i should set it up and how i should be mining to make the whole thing profitable. I hope my question is not too absurd and will get some feedback. Thanks!
Please start looking in the mining speculation subforum for your answers and not posting in this unrelated topic.

I see Hashnest and Kano being suggested. In my short mining life I always used Slushpool, mainly because it has a very geeky web interface.
I wonder how Slushpool compares to Hashnest or Kano. Not that I have any complaints.

If you're mainly after investment profit, then Kano. If you are OK with paying double pool fees (2% Slush vs 0.9% Kano) for a prettier web interface and functionality to signal/vouch for future network upgrades (EC, SegWit, EXTBLK, BIP100), then Slush will be good. There are pools that charge even less in service fees, but they tend to be too tiny. I mine at Kano myself and the current hash rate of 80PH/s ensures blocks are found more frequently than "once in a blue moon".
Hashnest is an all-in-one cloud mining service and should not be compared to Kano or Slush which are mere mining pools.

^^^ What he said!
So far best in my book is Kano pool, been with them for years.
Yes people. Switch to smaller pools. I've moved away from Antpool. And it's great!
Where to bro? New miner here i've jumped around some of the larger pools but i'm open to try out some more profitable mining pools. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Seriosuly switch pools. All who aren't on Hashnest. Bitmain is cancer to bitcoin community, both with support of BTU and their crap miners.
Lulz, they conveniently left out the obvious in that graph, that the fall started before that point.
But who wants accuracy, when convenience can be used to deceive people

You can go back 2 or 3 days to get the peak before the fall started.
No, I have no support for antpool as is well known, but using deception is pretty tacky.
... or you could see the obvious that the price half way thru the red line is the same at the left
Edit: if you look at any unobscured 1 month graph, the fall started about the 16th
... and a graph that pretty much puts it at 16th Mar or later:
(antpool's first BU block according the the other graph was 6th Mar)
The orange line is the 6th Mar
