PPLNS

With PPLNS, or Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares, your reward depends on:

  • Pool luck in finding a block — a reward is paid only if the pool finds blocks during the period. The luckier the pool, the more blocks it finds and the larger your reward

  • The number (N) of the most recent shares your hardware submitted to the pool — miners who worked through more of the period earn more than those who connected only briefly


PPS+

PPS+, or Pay Per Share Plus, combines elements of PPS and PPLNS. Your reward depends on:

  • The number of shares your hardware submits, as in PPS

  • Pool luck in finding a block — here you get an extra reward when the pool finds a block, as in PPLNS. The luckier the pool, the more blocks it finds and the bigger the addition to your reward


FPPS

FPPS, or Full Pay Per Share, combines PPS with a payout of the transaction fees included in the block. Your reward depends on:

  • The number of shares your hardware submits, as in PPS

  • Network mining difficulty — the lower the difficulty, the larger your reward

  • The network fee — the higher the fee, the larger your reward
