What is RYO Currency and why does NiceHash mine it separately from GPU hashrate?

I recently updated my power settings and CPU stats to High Performance. Upon reboot, Nicehash popped open a window to mine Ryo Currency in addition to x16r.

Is this normal? 

In doing so, it lowered my average daily balance for the x16r and shows nothing for the Ryo Currency.

What is going on? Anyone else see this? 

Thanks
