PPLNS and pool fees

PPLNS means Pay Per Last N Shares. When the pool finds a valid Bitcoin block, the distributable reward is allocated across qualifying recent shares instead of paying a fixed amount for every submitted share.

• A valid share proves that a miner contributed work to the pool.
• The pool must find a block before that round produces a block reward.
• Recent qualifying shares determine each miner’s portion under the configured PPLNS window.
• Consistent participation reduces the effect of joining only briefly around a lucky block.
• The planned MineHarbor operator fee is 1% of a found block reward.
