I recently learned about the CKPool from a YouTube video, BitCoin Master I believe.
I like the shared fees, not-China and as a hobby miner with an S3 who is waiting for two S9s I think this is a better model than Antpool. However, I do not understand the payout percentage. I am sure this has been covered, but can somebody please provide the argument for a small miner using the pool and the level of predictability for payments?
Thanks! I am happy to be joining the BTC world.
I am using an S3. So far block payouts have ranged from 0.00027 - 0.00031. Payout Frequency runs from 3/day to 1/3 days with the average a bit better than once per day. By comparison, AntPool does a bit better than 1 block/hour, but is 25 times the size in terms of petahashes/hour, so it's probably equivalent, not counting fees. Maybe more consistent in terms of payout. I think they use a one payout/day model. I haven't mined with them.
