## Scrypt, yescrypt, yespower parameters
Many variations of scrypt based algos can be mine by specifying their parameters:
Many variations of scrypt based algos can be mined by specifying their parameters even if not explicitly
defined in the miner. New variations that use a common base are automatically supported. The 3 bases are
yescrypt (aka yespower v0.5), yespower (aka yespower v1.0), yespower-b2b (yespower with sha256 replaced
with blake2b), and scrypt.
Variations listed above may be mined using their unique name or by parameters. Below are some known algorithm
variations that are unlisted and must be mined using their parameters. Parameters can be obtained from the
coin's specifications, if the developpers chose to publish them, or buried in the wallet code if not.
* -N --param-n: This optional parameter is sometimes specified using the suffix :N added to the algorithm
parameter, ie --algo scrypt:1048576. The default value of N if not specified is 1024.
