    At BYDFi, we believe in the power of decentralized mining. That's why we support the use of popular algorithms like SHA-256, Scrypt, Ethash, Equihash, and X11 on the NiceHash platform. These algorithms have been proven to be effective and secure, and they allow miners to contribute to the network while earning rewards. SHA-256, for example, is used by Bitcoin and is known for its robust security. Scrypt is used by Litecoin and is designed to be ASIC-resistant. Ethash is used by Ethereum and is memory-hard, making it resistant to ASIC mining. Equihash is used by Zcash and is known for its memory-intensive nature. X11, on the other hand, is a combination of 11 different hashing algorithms and is used by Dash. By supporting these popular algorithms, we aim to provide our users with a diverse range of options for mining cryptocurrencies.
