Title: CGMINER + ALGORITHM PARAMETER
Post by: Shawtie on July 21, 2023, 08:12:04 PM
Hi,

Some people say you can only mine SHA-256 using cgminer but I've seen people using the --Scrypt parameter.

My question is :

How to force cgminer to use whichever algorithm I want to mine other than SHA-256 and Scrypt ?

well cgminer was old and dunno if still supported by dev, technically all of miner from or before eth mining was using this thing, and i still remember optimizing for x11 mining back in 2015 which is fun
but to many config for optimization makes less appealing in new/big miner back in 2016 and many preconfigured miner for easy use replace cgminer at once. sure you can do many things with cgminer but its for old hardware as i remember
almost nobody these day use this again
