Nicehash miner automatically mines for you the best coin/algo most profitable for your CPU/GPU. If you want to use different pools like supernova, coinmine, flypool etc all you have to do is to edit the bat file (right click on it and click EDIT) and the only thing you need to do is to register at pools like coinmine, supernova ,flypool or the pool of your choice and usually ccminer, sgminer, claymore, and well known miners have already ready made batch files with names of the pools they are using, you need to register there at these pools websites  and edit the files with usernames you get from such pools. Check the picture for more help.

After the "u" means username so I replaced it with mine while I am mining LBRY and after the "p" means password so I replaced it with X which is my worker there.

thanks,but i mean how can i set a few pool in one bat file?

for instance i mine zcash on antpool.antpool has 3 ports:

stratum-zec.antpool.com:8899
stratum-zec.antpool.com:443
stratum-zec.antpool.com:25

in bat file i use 8899 port as primary.but how can i also use 443 and 25 as spare (in order to switch to other port when the primary port is not available)?

I think that needs a script in order to do what want, you execute such command, i.e changing ports when one is not working. I am not familiar with scripts. What I would do, is edit the batch file every time a port is not working. I know it's stressful but it works. Beside that, pools I use like coinmine.pl or supernova.cc rarely don't work so I think it's OK to keep only one pool and change the ports when it's needed.

also i saw that some miners allow to switch to other ports or pools,but about nheqminer i don't know exactly.

nheqminer doesnt support multiple pools and failover strategies (yet)

however im currently writing a small external program which will detect if a stratum server is offline/not working
im planning to use this in my manager to implement backup pools, but this will eventually take a while, im currently studying for my exams (at least i should)
