(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-31)

I'd like to use Zpool with my S9. I need the stratum URL to use for sha-256.
They give examples for X11 and Scrypt. 
For example I could use the following:
Bitmain D3 Settings:
URL: x11.mine.zpool.ca:3533#xnsub
Worker: XkurctD63DTsfx7hEuHqS3dC9wQmu4qFtN
Password: c=dash,d=92

Bitmain L3+ Settings:
URL: scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433#xnsub
Worker: LeDKeCAUVAxhSk1L3XDN2EV1b7dHVjTcqz
Password: c=ltc,d=128000

I guess my issues are: 

is the algo for the url sha256 or sha-256
what is the port to use at the end of the url? (looks like different ones based on algo)
what is #xnsub ? Is it needed?

The URL should be `sha256.mine.zpool.ca`.

> what is the port to use at the end of the url? (looks like different ones based on algo)

For sha256 you should use port `3333`.

> what is #xnsub ? Is it needed?

It turns on extraNonce, which gives your miner extra room to work.
