great i see we found another block! the second one in 3 days. I am using only one s9 at 13.5 th/s in this pool and for the most recent block my reward was .00015387. I want to stay in this pool but i am not sure it would be profitable vs other pools as in other pools my block reward is about .00004 per s9 and getting on average of 10 blocks per day so that would be .0004 on average per day per miner. without 4 blocks a day on average I dont see how I can make the same as the other pools i belong to - and i have my s9's spread out as I am participating in 5-6 pools at a time.
am I looking at this wrong? is there higher profits in a small pool or a in a large pool? I get that the rewards are less frequent but larger and the latest reward was close to 4 times what the other pool is paying per block, the difference is the other pool is finding 10+ blocks per day so I am getting more rewards, although smaller. I see this is the 23rd block in the month, if i had been here the entire month, those rewards would be approx the same as about 100 block rewards on the other pool - but in the same time period with the other pool, I might have 230 block rewards. so seems like it is only half as profitable here for me --- at least with 1 miner.
I may need to bring over all my miners to be a larger % to make it worthwhile.
If you had been ramped up, the last block would have been around 0.0008732. If you want to see what you would have made with your miners, you can plug in your hash rates at
https://minergain.com/?btcstats. I am not sure if minergain is tracking your current pool. Be aware that I have a bug where the slush blocks are not always subtracting the 2% pool fees but kano always is removing the .9%. The pool fees being subtracted from the block is deep in my monitoring code so a little tricky to find.
So for Kano, a single S9 would have received around 0.0199557, 0.0141996 for slush and 0.0150200 for viabtc. After removing some additional fees for slush due to my bug (and viabtc is new, so maybe there too), this month definitely was higher. Obviously the small pool allows us to be much higher and much lower in a month. Fortunately we are nowhere near as small as we were 6 months ago where we were about 1/4 the size (and really big payouts).
