Will we need a special miner ( or kernel ) for the new algorithm? For instance, there is myriad-groestl for the Groestl algorithm, will there be a digibyte-groestl ?
Also, will the single pool handle every algorithm? Or is there a separate pool for each algorithm.
A special thanks to the DigiByte team, really looking forward to the new changes!

A single pool will be able to handle all algorithms. A separate miner will be required for every algorithm. We will release a detailed guide on how to mine and what is needed when we release the update.
We have 4/5 algos working properly but we are in the process of switching out Groestl. Groestl was working on the network but after a few days we have been un-able to get it to work correctly on a mining pool. We are swamping for Keccack to see if things will improve so we can get the update rolled out.
Stay tuned!
I followed the devs from Diamond Coin for quite awhile and when they changed their algo to Groestl they had a ton of issues with pool mining and I think in the end a special kernel was created for sgminer. I am pretty sure it was problems with stratum since everyone could solo mine. I think somewhere around page 34 on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580725.660 they talk about it, look for posts by Danbi, I think he helped with the kernel if I remember correctly. It could all be totally different but if its sounding familiar check it out.
Hope it helps...
so be kind spend some to our project, its a good charity
