Understanding payout methods is crucial for miners to maximize their earnings and manage their mining operations effectively. Here are the most common payout methods used by Bitcoin mining pools:

  1. FPPS (Full Pay Per Share)
    • Description: Miners are paid a fixed amount for each share they contribute, including a share of transaction fees.
    • Pros: Predictable and stable payouts, lower risk for miners.
    • Cons: Generally comes with higher pool fees to cover the risk taken by the pool operator.
  2. PPS (Pay Per Share)
    • Description: Miners receive a fixed payout for each share they submit, irrespective of whether the pool finds a block.
    • Pros: Immediate and guaranteed payouts.
    • Cons: Higher fees, as the pool assumes all the risk.
  3. PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares)
    • Description: Miners are paid based on the number of shares they contribute to the last N shares of the pool, with rewards distributed when a block is found.
    • Pros: Potential for higher earnings during successful mining periods, lower pool fees.
    • Cons: Income can be irregular and depends on the pool’s success in finding blocks.
  4. PPS+
    • Description: A hybrid model that combines PPS and PPLNS. Miners receive a fixed payout for their shares (PPS) plus a share of transaction fees based on PPLNS.
    • Pros: Provides stable income with additional transaction fee benefits, reducing overall risk.
    • Cons: Higher fees compared to standard PPLNS pools.
  5. Score-based
    • Description: Miners are rewarded based on their contributions over time, with more recent shares being worth more to prevent pool-hopping.
    • Pros: Fairer distribution of rewards, discourages pool-hopping.
    • Cons: More complex to understand, payouts can vary depending on the time of contribution.

  • Foundry USA: FPPS, 0% fees.
  • Antpool: PPLNS (0% fees) and FPPS (4% fees).
