Configuration and command-line options

Work in progress!

Config-file and CLI options

algorithm

Allows choosing between the few mining algorithms for incompatible cryptocurrencies.

If specified in a pool section in the configuration file, sets the option for that pool only. Otherwise sets the default.

Argument: string

Default: scrypt

Supported:

adaptive-n-factor - Vertcoin-style adaptive N-factor scrypt. N-factor defaults to 11. Aliases: adaptive-nfactor (to be removed in future versions) and nscrypt.
scrypt - Litecoin-style static N-factor scrypt.
everything else - currently defaults to scrypt, subject to change without warning.

nfactor

Overrides the default scrypt parameter N, specified as the factor of 2 (N = 2^nfactor).

If specified in a pool section in the configuration file, sets the option for that pool only. Otherwise sets the default.

Argument: whole number (>1).

Default: depends on algorithm; otherwise 10.

Pool-specific configuration

If you use any of these options for a pool, then you must set that option for every pool. This is necessary due to current poor implementation of sgminer config parser.

pool-algorithm

Allows choosing the algorithm for a specific pool. See algorithm.

pool-nfactor

Overrides the default scrypt parameter N for a specific pool. See nfactor.

pool-intensity

Overrides intensity. See intensity.

pool-xintensity

Overrides xintensity. See xintensity.

pool-rawintensity

Overrides rawintensity. See rawintensity.
