Yes longer term profits. Last block (and I'm not fully ramped up yet) was just over 1.5% of a bitcoin.
If you want the daily profits, slush's isn't bad either..I flip flop between both. It does look like over time kano's pays more though, you just have to live with the one block per day or more vs the 7-10 blocks a day with slush, the payout isn't even close per block though (kano's by a landslide).
Thanks for all your help on this.
A few more questions. Hopefully the answers here will help move some beginners over to Kano.
1. How long till you are fully ramped up if I were to point all miners to his pool today?
2. Which stratum should I connect to? I looked on the website and it is not helpful in finding the best ping for someone in eastern US
3. I understand that payment happens after 101 confirmations do not sure if it is only paid out when the next block needs to be found as well.
I can't find any information on this on kano.is. Can I get some elaboration on this?

1. Right now ramp up is quite a bit, but if the hash rate increases, this ramp drops.:
The pool hash rate for the last day is roughly 22.96PHs which means the 5Nd 'ramp' is roughly 14days 14hrs.
2. check the first page of kano's thread for the stratum closest to you, I think the NYA one would be closest.
3. payout for every pool is after +101 confirmations, sometimes the payout gets sent out by kano beforehand, and sometimes it's included in the next block found...it always gets sent out though, no reason to worry about that.
