Just asking, as I'm new to the pool mining thaaang. 
I'll just stick on kano then. Just hard to see days where the earnings are 1/3 they should be.
I have to get used to not being able to average or estimate the income as some days will just be better than others and at the end it should equal out.
Maybe I can average per a weekly or monthly basis.
New to pool mining also I appreciate you creating this thread @thedreamer, because its also a question I've been dealing with. I really am blown away by the great feedback on the forum from everyon, it has been priceless. Like you I too am sticking to Kano, because I appreciate the transparency. In addition with Kano I actually get paid for the work I've done per block. Where with other pools it seems that I only got paid a set amount per day for my hashrate, regardless of the amount of blocks the pool got. I have another SP20 enroute, and will being pointing it to Kano's pool by the end of the week I'll just stick on kano then. Just hard to see days where the earnings are 1/3 they should be.
