What would be the benefit of joining a smaller pool like ck, over a larger pool like slush or kano. Is it just because reward share is higher when a block is solved? If so, does this just mean we are hoping to get lucky and go on a hot streak? I was under the impression that it all "evens out" over the long run. I am new to this and still learning !
very hard to answer .
but for me it is fairly simple I like -ck and want to support him.
To a certain degree i don't care what pool is best.
It is more or less what pool operator I like and trust the most.
As for the why of -ck vs kano or slush pretty simple math -ck is better then the 2 of them.
He pays all tx money and charges no fees
That makes him better then any plns pool.
I would argue pps can be best but it is too complex to explain or calculate.
It flexes up and down between this pool and some pps pool but I still stay here most of the time.
both f2pool and viabtc do better then -ck some of the time. But most of the time -ck is better.
