PPLNS with job declaration

I’m sketching up an sv2 extension, that allow miners to verify pool’s payouts when miners are allowed to select transaction hence mining jobs w...

Hoping to explore other models for hashrate and blockspace markets too.

I guess the difference is that the SLICE designation is PPLNS but the N shares is a template determined algorithm? Either way PPLNS seems the most fair it's just how to determine the "N" of shares that seems to differentiate these versions. Only care that miners: Create their own templates Broadcast their valid blocks not the pool Have access to transparent share accounting system The pool's obligation is: Keep share accounting Rebroadcasting valid blocks found by workers Have several template selections If those criterion are followed, that could be ANY pool.
