PPS and PPS+
۱۴۰۵/۱/۲۷
PPS (Pay Per Share) is a mining pool payout scheme where miners receive a fixed, guaranteed payment for every valid share they submit, regardless of the pool's luck in finding blocks. The pool assumes all variance risk.
PPS+ is an enhanced version that adds a share of transaction fees on top of the base PPS payment.
How PPS works
The pool calculates the expected value of one share based on:
- Current block reward
- Network hashrate (determining the probability of finding a block)
- Pool fee
Every share earns that expected value — whether the pool finds many blocks or few that day.
PPS vs PPLNS
| PPS / PPS+ | PPLNS | |
|---|---|---|
| Payout variance | None — steady income | Higher — depends on pool luck |
| Fee | Slightly higher | Slightly lower |
| Best for | Predictable cash flow | Long-term pool members |
| Pool bears risk | Yes | No |
Kryptex Pool payout model
Kryptex Pool uses PPS+: fixed per-share payment (PPS base) plus transaction fees distributed among miners. This gives miners the stability of PPS with the added upside of fee revenue.
