You get paid when a block is found (block reward + fees)
You mine independently to find a block. If you find it, the entire reward is yours.
You mine together with other miners, and the reward is divided based on how much you contributed.
Similar to PROP, but it uses a share window to reward more consistent miners and prevent pool hopping.
You get paid for every share you submit, based on the difficulty of the share you are given.
You are paid based on the difficulty of the share(block fees are not included, the pool keeps them).
You are paid based on the difficulty of the share, and the block fees are included as well. When a block is found, the fees are distributed based on how much you contributed(like PROP or PPLNS), non paid per share.
You are paid based on the difficulty of the share, and an average of the block fees is included. It is paid with each share, added to the share-based payment.
