Add Machine Algorithm Description

[EvgeniyKorepov]

My MinerPro for NiceHash plugs new algorithms on the fly. But for this, I manually generate on the server JSON description (According to the text description https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/tree/master/nvidia). Is it possible to place a similar file here, for complete automation of the process? Here is my description of algorithms :

Thank you in advance!

Sure, not a problem. I'll upload it shortly.

[t4nja]

@EvgeniyKorepov Just something I noticed. You set 65535 when there is no upper limit for parameters. Type for input parameters is int, not short. Hence the max value is actually 0x7fffffff and not 0xffff.

[EvgeniyKorepov]

@dropky I just decided to limit the upper limit to a reasonable number. Hardly in the parameters will be more than 65535. Or am I mistaken?

[t4nja]

Lyra2rev2 is algorithm where it would make sense to try with even larger numbers. Anyway, we're planning to change the parameter to the number of blocks. So yeah.. 65535 is definitely fine.

@dropky Thank you! In the next version of MinerPro I will make the final descriptions directly from here
