What is the exact difference between PPLNS and PPLNT

[Fernan87]

I have been trying to find this online but I can not find anything that clarifies me.

I understand PPLNS but I do not get the PPLNT.

Where did you get this PPLNT acronym? I've been around for quite a while, and this is the first time i hear about it...

A quick search will give you the answer in Google take a look at this post below:

Pay Per Last N Timeshares.

It’s like PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares), but based on time slices instead of work slices. Keeps a monster-sized miner from quickly accumulating enough shares to be inside the penalty window, even though they’re only on pool from a short time.

I got the source here https://forum.bitcoingold.org/t/pplnt-method-what-is-it/1805

The only difference is the time slices per mined block instead of word slices as PPLNS reward.

If look or search on Google you will get the Information about that!


Pay Per Last N Shares (PPLNS)

Pay Per Last N Share or commonly known as PPLNS is another popular payment method, which offers payment to miners as a % of shares they contribute to the total shares (N).

Usually the amount of shares submitted during a round (the time it takes to find 1 block) is variable due to luck. However under PPLNS it considers a fixed amount of shares (N), that is not constrained by the round boundaries. In this case N shares represents a fixed amount of shares that is not based on luck. Often N is set as twice the difficulty. For this payment structure, as you mine you earn shares meaning the more hashes you do the more shares you earn.

You only get paid out once a block is actually found (not if it is only statistically probable). Using the lottery example, if you commit 1 ticket (share) to a total of 10 (N) tickets in your pool than your payout will be 10% if your pool is able to win the lottery (find a block).

Using this system actually favors constant loyal pool members over pool hoppers because miners aren’t incentivized to “quick mine” by mining on round with low amounts of shares.

What advantage(s) or disadvantage(s) does PPLNT in comparison with PPLNS?

[HashingTower]

If you are a 💯 miner like myself and not those who came on their PC and oy mine for hours then PPLNS is the best there is a higher chances of even earning more if you can solve more shares in a short period of time, I've never heard about PPLNT, the most common ones are PPLNS and PPS pools

It is very important what coin you mine and what your hashrate is.

If you are a very large miner, then it is more profitable for you to use
PPS, and if a small miner, then probably PPLNS.
But it will be difficult for you to calculate the result, because mining is a lore for the pool.
But many pools do not allow you to choose a payment option
