Argon 2d

i
Recommended algo for CPU miners.

Argon2 is a key derivation function that was selected as the winner of the Password Hashing Competition in July 2015. Argon2d maximizes resistance to GPU cracking attacks. It accesses the memory array in a password dependent order, which reduces the possibility of time memory trade-off aka (TMTO) attacks, but introduces possible side-channel attacks.

Yescrypt

i
Recommended algo for CPU miners.

Yescrypt is a password-based key derivation function. It applies slow cryptographic operations to a password and salt, creating a key suitable for performing encryption or storage to validate the password in the future. Yescrypt algoritm is based on scrypt by Colin Percival of Tarsnap.
