Ummm... all pools let you keep part of the block reward... that's what pooled mining is.


You know what I mean.  You get a small part of the reward yes, but some pools directly pay you a large part if you
find a block (and much more than is distributed out to other users).  I'm pretty sure litecoinpool.org does not, so that's been my experience.
Any pool that does this, must fund that by paying everyone else less than expected.

Block finding is luck, you can't make your miners find a block, they simply have an expected time to find a block.
The actual time may be anywhere from immediately to never.

Thus including a block finding reward increases variance for all miners.
If you don't care about increasing variance, then why not solo mine, since with solo mining, every time you find a block you get it all Tongue

It would be great to not have complete risk, like mine for a percentage but if you find a block get around 50% of it.  No pools do that?
