What Is the Main Advantage of the PPS Method for a Miner Compared to a PPLNS Method?

The main advantage of Pay-Per-Share (PPS) is the complete elimination of 'luck' or variance risk for the individual miner. The miner receives a predictable, fixed payment for every valid share submitted, regardless of whether the pool finds a block.

Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares (PPLNS) is dependent on the pool's luck in finding blocks, leading to high variance in daily income.
