Many people mine at Nicehash with gpus.

Nicehash  mentions two names

CryptoNight7 = stratum+tcp://cryptonightv7.eu.nicehash.com:3363
CryptoNightHeavy = stratum+tcp://cryptonightheavy.eu.nicehash.com:3364

So  the question asked was valid and an answer from anyone that is not gpuhoarder Since it is his product carries zero weight  if it fails to mine at least one of the two above

So @ gpuhoarder does it mine one of the two above?

for me I plan on mining mostly x16r , but some want to mine at the addresses above.



Whattomine calls it cryptonight v7 also, but it is monero chain fork 7, that changed from cryptonight (v0) to cryptonight v1 which adds a few operations to the main loop and the setup phase to kick asics off the network.

This is the last time i will say it, what acorn can mine is the current monero fork monero7 using cryptonight v1, the one where you dont fight asics. It does NOT mine the old cryptonight (v0) variant that asics are all over, and it does not mine cryptonight heavy.

I dont see why you need gpuhorder to confirm this, sqrl site clearly says cryptonight v1, and that is whats really driving monero atm, go google it, and you will find you that monero use cryptonight v1, cryptonight v7 does not exist. Ask anyone that knows the technical details of monero they will say its cryptonight v1.
