As I've stated, I have decided to switch pools to SlushPool three days ago, throughout my time on AntPool I kept all of the stats for my income and decided to share it with you guys.
I switched to SlushPool after reading these forums, and people giving a figure of AntPool paying about 20% less than Slush and Kano. Unfortunately the first full day mining on Slush (16.01) I got 0.00597, which is the second worst payout I've ever had, the worst came on the (07.01) due to dead ports on AntPool, and me averaging 38 TH/s. But as I've come to understand Slush has a lot more variability, so it was just probably unlucky to hit one of the worst days at the beginning.
Slush was really unlucky 3 days ago. It's finally making up for it today it seems. I switched from Slush to Kano just before these blocks hahahawawaawaaa...
Anyways, there'll be good days and bad days. Lately there's been too many bad days on Slush imo. But, even if Antpool paid more than Slush, I'd mine on Slush if Kano wasn't an option.
Although I applaud both of your for switching to a pool that share transaction fees, I'm curious why you did not go to Kano.is? Slushpool charges 2%, Kano charges 0.9%. Variance is higher on Kano, but getting better by the day. UI isn't as slick, but for me, profit is what mattered. Kano community is great (just check the Kano thread in this section). There is a fairly steep ramp-up for full payment, but that is just a delay, not a penalty (e.g. if you left, you would continue getting paid as you "ramped down" at the same rate you "ramp up".).
