I doubled my miners in October and again in November.  Granted I am still tiny compared to most with only 8 S9's now, but I must admit that with the lower blocks and BTC prices since I upgraded, it has been painful to see my electric bill climb without out the return to help cover those increased costs.  That said, I continue to hang here with Kano since the pool is expertly managed by a seasoned pro, everyone shares their knowledge and insights, and I left in the first place because I wanted the opportunity to see the high monthly rewards that often appear with a smaller pool. 

I am confident that we will see several more amazing months arrive soon (and I predict we will see 3 blocks before the end of the year).  Once the luck turns, those who continue to Mine On with Kano will surely be pleased with HUGE payouts per block due to our our lower pool hash rate.  Plus when the pool hoppers come back, we will reap the short term benefits of being fully ramped up (of course the newcomers will get their reward for the effort they put in as well).  Obviously these are tricky times (as they have been in the past as I understand).  So everyone needs to determine their level of risk and do what makes sense.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Mine On with Kano!
