Algorithms

Since version 3 mining algorithm should specified for each pool separately (algo option), earlier versions was use one global algo option and per pool variant option (this option was removed in v3). If your pool support mining algorithm negotiation you may not specify this option at all.

Example

{
  "pools": [
    {
      "url": "...",
      "algo": "cn/r",
      ...
    }
 ],
 ...
}
