multi-version (ASICBOOST ?) for scrypt

so, poking around inside my L3+ miner it seems it pretends to support multi-version
will the pool take advantage of this if enabled >1 or is the pool only expecting it on sha256d/bitcoin miners?

i'm going to enable it anyway, say multi-version=8

"To enable multi-version needs to be >1, the number being how many bits of the version number you're allowing it to modify for ASICBOOST. Enabling this will cause a new field in mining.submit which includes which version number it ended up using for the share solve, the pool server needs to be able to parse that and be able to validate it."


I'll wager with the extra characters tacked on, the pool rejects them all.

i've not had any rejections with two boxes running with multi-version=8
but cant tell if it's made any performance improvement either.
gerenally with stratum protocol, anything not specifically looked for is ignored.

it would be comforting to *believe* it was helpful :)
