How Do Different Mining Pool Fee Structures Work?

Common fee structures include Pay-Per-Share (PPS), which offers consistent, lower-risk payouts regardless of the pool finding a block, minus a fee. Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares (PPLNS) pays out based on the number of shares submitted in the last 'N' rounds, leading to higher variance but lower fees.

Proportional (PROP) pays miners a share of the actual block reward proportional to their contributed shares for that specific block.
