Question 1

What is FPPS and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) is a payout method where the pool pays miners for every valid share submitted, covering both the block subsidy and an estimated share of transaction fees. This provides the most predictable income because miners get paid regardless of whether the pool actually finds a block.

Question 2

Why choose FPPS over PPLNS?

Accepted Answer

FPPS provides steady, predictable payouts with no variance from luck. PPLNS payouts fluctuate based on when the pool finds blocks. For miners who want consistent daily income and do not want exposure to luck variance, FPPS is the better choice — though FPPS pools typically charge slightly higher fees to cover the risk they absorb.

Question 3

Do FPPS pools charge higher fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FPPS pools generally charge higher fees (typically 2-4%) compared to PPLNS pools (0-2%). The higher fee compensates the pool operator for absorbing the variance risk — they pay miners regardless of block-finding luck. Despite the higher fee, many miners prefer FPPS for its income stability.
