'The right to privacy matters'

I am a bit confused on this site. I haven't mined in a very long time; the last time I was mining was when I was one of the unlucky few to be scammed by KNC Miner for their Titan miners.

Questions is, is stratum+tcp:// used for script SHA256 mining or is also used for other coins like LTC?

Other than BTC and BCH are there any other pools on this site that use SHA256?

Thanks,

is all they do

I tried using ViaBTC's LTC stratum+tcp URL etc in my Nano 3 and had it run for a day, when I went to my account and looked under LTC in the Pool section no worker showed up, the only place a worker showed up was under Smart Mining and BCH even though I had the correct URL info. This is what I used "stratum+tcp://ltc.viabtc.io:3333" and I put the one for each of the other ports they list under LTC plus my worker and password but it started using their smart mining (bch). So, I

This shows that Viabtc developers did a great job, I don't know if any other pool would automatically switch your miner connecting to scrypt stratum to SHA256, I think other pools (or most of them at least) would just disconnect you right away and you won't find your workers in any dashboard, as Paid2 mentioned above, you are using the wrong algorithm for the right miner, so Viabtc switched you to SHA256 smart mining (which is probably the best thing they could do since they don't want to force you to a certain coin), and just so happened that their algorithm found that BCH was the most profitable SHA256 coin at that point which is what "Smart mining" is all about.

With not way to know for sure if maybe they have stopped using LTC or redirected it to their smart mining pool I am wondering if I need to find another pool so I can mine LTC or LCC?

Thanks,

I was not aware of that : I thought that with the Nano 3, it was mandatory to mine on Braiins pool. I am happy to learn that they changed their mind about this.

However, LTC is not a sha256d coin, but a scrypt coin. Not minable with your Nano 3.
You mentioned LCC, which is a sha256 coin, but useless to mine IMO as it is not really swappable (very low volumes). This section is only about BTC mining, feel free to open a thread in the altcoins mining section of the forum to discuss other sha256 coins if you want.

I'm also confused about your question but if you are using viabtc pool it is required and stratum+tcp is included not only LTC but any coins supported by Viabtc.

Maybe what you want to ask is that using stratum+tcp you can maybe able to mine other coins like LTC? Isn't that your question?

Anyway, if your ASIC miner is only support Sha256 then you can only mine Bitcoin or other sha256 coins not LTC.

About the 2nd question you can't find other pools on Viabtc if you are looking for other pools that can mine other coins that support sha256 algo then check this tool below.
