Good article - I especially like this analogy:

_Having a closer look at how the FPPS payout scheme is built, we can easily see that it is like the modern pension systems of many governments, unsustainable by design._

Much like a pension system, the risk of FPPS is felt in the future, after a period of time when all seems ok. That said, FPPS is a hell of a drug, and so far miners seem fully hooked.

I think Braiins was using the score payout method, not pplns. That's why riot left them a couple years ago. 

I started using Braiins when it was PPLNS. Unfortunately, it switched to FPPS not too long afterwards. I would like to switch to something else that's PPLNS, just haven't had time to research and make the switch yet.
