yes Kano's method make the shares dropoff 5x slower then btcguild or slush. you can use him or
https://www.f2pool.com/ this pool every share you earn you get paid fees are 4%
kano's pool fees are 0.9 % better then above. but if you spend a lot of time on westhash and kano's pool does 2 really bad blocks in a row you lose some shares.
I did a lot of math and I do
1) westhash set for a p=0.016
2) kano--------------------------------------- 0.9% fee should work over the chance of two 500% blocks in a row.
3) f2pool--------------------------------------4.0% fee is not as good as 0.9% with no penalty until two 500% blocks in row
I used https://mining.bitcoinaffiliatenetwork.com/ but they have been paying too slow

Thanks for getting back to me. That's really helpful info.
Any reason why you don't have NiceHash as pool #2 with the same profitability value? I've got mine configured that way in case WestHash is down but NiceHash is up. Of course when profitability doesn't match it has to fail over twice, but that doesn't seem like a big deal.
Looks like you're aiming for about 3% above the current BTC/THs/Day rate, is that right?
Too bad you have to change the "p" value every 2016 blocks. I really wish NiceHash would let us specify this as a percentage. That way it doesn't matter what happens to the difficulty.
I like the sp20's just a little more then the s-5's since lots of lines for pools
Made it easy to add nicehash
when rates were nuts in nov-dec I used both west then nice. right now rates have not been that crazy. So I use only west.
2nd part 3% is not correct 0.016 a th after fee of 2% 0.016 x .98 or
0.01568 a th vs 0.0116977 a th. that is a 30% mark up
I use f2pool as my example since they pay steady rates but take out 4% west-nice takes out 2%
