user139872: What will happen if we mine bitcoin with scrypt algorithm... I tried with it by connecting to a bitcoin pool, with cgminer and it shows new block detected messages..
And what will happen if,  I mine it with bitcoin core...
In any case will it ever succeed..if it succeed.. is it bad for bitcoin core.. as the block generated by different algorithm..

user5406: Bitcoin Core uses SHA-256d as its proof-of-work function. If you use a different hashing algorithm such as Scrypt, your work output cannot produce a valid block for the Bitcoin blockchain—you are only converting energy to heat.
