Thank you folks for the chorus of "change".  Trying BTC.com the last 20 or so hours...taking Slush and Kano for a spin next.  Smiley

dont listen to anyone saying Antpool has better earnings.

I have 3 S9s and pointed 1 at antpool, btc.com and viabtc.

antpool earned least out of the 3. This is because THEY KEEP TX FEES.

See last 5 blocks for example:

Height   Relayed By   Reward
500,406   BTC.TOP      23.06844858 BTC      
500,405   BTC.TOP           21.57133835 BTC         
500,404   BitClub           21.15969094 BTC      
500,403   AntPool           22.43700609 BTC         
500,402   BTC.TOP           22.84704763 BTC         

If you do that math, you can see that tx fees are almost the same as the 12.5 BTC payout per block.

Why do you want to perform work for them and have them keep almost 50% of the BTC rewards just to themselves? Leaving you with the rest to split among miners?
