# Algorithms
XMRig uses a different way to specify algorithms, compared to other miners.
Algorithm selection splitted to 2 parts:
* Global base algorithm per miner or proxy instance, `algo` option. Possible values: `cryptonight`, `cryptonight-lite`, `cryptonight-heavy`.
* Algorithm variant specified separately for each pool, `variant` option.
* [Full table for supported algorithm and variants.](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/master/doc/STRATUM_EXT.md#14-algorithm-names-and-variants)
Since version 3 mining algorithm should specified for each pool separately (`algo` option), earlier versions was use one global `algo` option and per pool `variant` option (this option was removed in v3). If your pool support [mining algorithm negotiation](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/issues/168) you may not specify this option at all.
#### Example
```json
{
"algo": "cryptonight",
...
"pools": [
{
"url": "...",
"variant": 1,
"algo": "cn/r",
...
}
],

## Mining algorithm negotiation
If your pool support [mining algorithm negotiation](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/issues/168) miner will choice proper variant automaticaly and if you choice wrong base algorithm you will see error message.
#### Pools with mining algorithm negotiation support.
