10 rewards per month of a 30x reward is exactly the same as 30 rewards per month of a 10x reward.

This is totally true. Thats why i look at the total picture, and not the rewards individually.
And my calculator tells me that currently, i do better as on Kano...

I have a feeling that your calculator tells you what you want to hear. The "total picture" covers more than just "currently" and if you look at what you earned for the year at Kano it was higher than those other pools. Good luck chasing luck...that usually never works out like folks think it will

Do not get me wrong, I love supporting Kano but for the 2 months that I have been on kano pool I have earned .08342365 - 5 other miners with same hash rate on another pool have earned .12601409 so for the 2 months I have essentially "lost" out on almost 1/3rd of the profit I would have made had I not used Kano.

Now I realize we have had 2 low luck months and had I been on for September and using my average pymt amount, I would be at .19364022 for Kano and the other pool, including Sept would only be at .18942017 --- so Kano would have been better for me had I been on the pool longer. Short term may not always look good but for long term, Kano would be more profitable for me.

edit** and had I been here the whole year or if I was willing to put all my miners on one pool - and had been here the whole year, I would prolly have quite a bit more than I have now, considering that BTC value and rewards have decreased over time. but to use the average I get now (yes, I know it would have been higher earlier in the year) I would have made .89 BTC off the 200 blocks mined by Kano pool. where as the same 5 miners earned .753 BTC on slush - and that is actual based on the value/reward/difficulty that was in play at that time.

You make a good point and that is exactly how you can make out better on the KanoPool...play the long game. Mathematically it's the simplest concept you can possibly have. All pools will hit 100% of the expected blocks they should over time so the only difference between all the pools is 1) pool fees and 2) do they include transaction fees. Both Kano and Slush pay transaction fees so they are even there. KanoPool's fee is 0.9% and Slush's fee is 2.0% so over the span of a year you would expect to earn about 1.1% more by mining with Kano and that is holding true. The math could not be any more basic than that.
