Look back on this thread (yeah, I know...the Black Lagoon of info...makes one learn to use the search function) to my post as to when I was forced to go back to Slush a couple of months ago due to my own poor Core management. Anyway...after almost five weeks mining on Slush (which did solve my temporary problem), I compared my revenue for that period to what it would have been at Kano with the same hash, at 5Nd...and I would have earned over 30% more here. FWIW...I mined at Slush for the first year or two of pool (as opposed to solo) mining, until Kano started his pool.

If you need a payout "threshold" or daily payouts, and don't care about transparency, then go to Slush. If you want to make more over the long haul with a pool operator who is transparent, stay here. If you can't afford to handle the variance here, well...with all good intentions...maybe you should look for another hobby.

Best to all.
