How does KIP-10 let Kaspa mining pools pay participants more frequently?

KIP-10 threshold scripts allow Kaspa mining pools to distribute rewards efficiently without waiting to accumulate many coinbase outputs. Before KIP-10, pools had to batch payouts infrequently to avoid KIP-9 mass penalties — extra fees triggered when a transaction has more outputs than inputs. KIP-10 introduces threshold-based P2SH (Pay-to-Script-Hash) addresses that let a pool 'borrow' each participant's existing UTXO as an additional input, so even a single freshly mined coinbase reward can be split across many participants in one transaction without triggering those penalties. For pool participants, this means more frequent, predictable payouts instead of waiting for the pool to accumulate enough inputs before it can pay you.
