I mean put 1 miner on another pool for a week or 2 just to test its returns against all your other miners in another pool.

Can do a comparison on returns then

Your missing my point:  All pools have random luck.  That luck averages out over a period of something like 250-1000 blocks to approximately 100% - as expected.   Using the optimistic  250 number, if your Slushpool and find a dozen blocks a day, that is 20 days.  If your Kano and find a block every couple of days, that is something like 500-750 days.

You CAN NOT compare returns over a period of a week or two and have a statistically valid result.

What you can do is run the math and figure out which will pay out better over a year or so.

U cant use it for kano as their variance is too high. I am aware of luck but I didnt know the amount of blocks slushpool gets,etc. I guess comparing antpool against slush over a month or another suitable period is better.

Btw, do u think a program that automatically switches the S9 from a currently higher luck pool to a currently lower luck pool, would give some extra money?
