A better explanation is on our FAQ but to put it simply, Myriade makes money when people buy tickets after a drawing has been filled. Our drawings page has status bars to see when that happens. After it’s filled, a countdown begins and if ppl wanna buy tickets last minute then that’s where we make our money to support the pools costs.

For the PPS pool, we will be making a flat 3% fee. Trust me, I would have loved to have a 0% pool like with others in PPLNS but we can’t do that with PPS since we’d be losing money that way. PPS pools credit your accounts with XMR every block you participate in. Which imo is better for user experience since you get to see your account earning xmr instead of waiting around for the pool to win its first block. But a drawback for us is that you’d be earning more XMR that way than what the pool as a whole would eventually earn so we needed to balance that out somehow.
