I'm pretty sure Parasite Pool does the thing where the block finder gets 1BTC, and the rest of the subsidy and fees are split up over proportionately to the other miners.

Pretty cool to see them get a block.

That's a really elegant pool design that flips the traditional incentive structure. Instead of racing for shares and hoping you're the lucky one at the end, the miner who actually finds the block gets a concrete 1 BTC reward for doing the hardest part of the work — the block discovery itself. The remaining subsidy and fees then get distributed proportionally to everyone else based on their contributed hashrate. It's a different way of thinking about the problem: reward the finder for the actual discovery, then share the upside. I spent years watching how different pool designs affect miner behavior, and models like this one tend to discourage some of the perverse incentives you see elsewhere. Good to see experimentation happening in the mining ecosystem.
