Does a Larger Mining Pool Generally Experience Lower Block Discovery Variance?

Yes, according to the law of large numbers, a larger mining pool with a higher total hash rate will experience lower block discovery variance. This means its actual block discovery rate will more closely align with the statistically expected rate.

Larger pools offer more predictable and stable income, which is a key benefit for miners seeking lower volatility.
