PPLNS
Pay per last N shares, a round-based payout scheme.
PPLNS pays out of blocks the pool actually finds, sharing each block among the last N shares submitted rather than the current round alone. Steady miners are rewarded and the pool carries no payout risk.
The trade-off is that leaving a PPLNS pool means your remaining shares in the window stop earning, which penalises pool hopping by design. This pool does not run PPLNS; the scheme it does run is shown on the HeroMiners hub, on the All Pools overview, and the payout schemes article compares them all.
