&lt;div&gt;Reward types &amp;amp; explanation:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;PPS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires &amp;lt;current difficulty&amp;gt; shares &#039;&#039;on average&#039;&#039;, a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by &amp;lt;current difficulty&amp;gt;. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SMPPS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;ESMPPS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;CPPSRB&#039;&#039;&#039; - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Prop.&#039;&#039;&#039; - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;PPLNS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Score&#039;&#039;&#039; - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time &#039;&#039;t&#039;&#039; since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner&#039;s score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush&#039;s pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Reward types &amp;amp; explanation:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;PPS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BTC. Since finding a block requires &amp;lt;current difficulty&amp;gt; shares &#039;&#039;on average&#039;&#039;, a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by &amp;lt;current difficulty&amp;gt;. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SMPPS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Prop.&#039;&#039;&#039; - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;PPLNS&#039;&#039;&#039; - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Score&#039;&#039;&#039; - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time &#039;&#039;t&#039;&#039; since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner&#039;s score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush&#039;s pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)&lt;br /&gt;
