# Algorithms

XMRig uses a different way to specify algorithms, compared to other miners.

Algorithm selection splitted to 2 parts:

 * Global base algorithm per miner or proxy instance, `algo` option. Possible values: `cryptonight`, `cryptonight-lite`, `cryptonight-heavy`.
 * Algorithm variant specified separately for each pool, `variant` option.
 * [Full table for supported algorithm and variants.](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/master/doc/STRATUM_EXT.md#14-algorithm-names-and-variants)

### Mining algorithm negotiation
If your pool support [mining algorithm negotiation](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/issues/168) miner will choice proper variant automaticaly and if you choice wrong base algorithm you will see error message.

Pools with mining algorithm negotiation support.
