Scrypt is a type of mining algorithm used by major cryptocurrencies such as litecoin and novacoin. It has one major advantage over other algorithms such as SHA-256 in that it’s quicker and easier to use. It doesn’t use up as much computer processing, so individual miners can more readily process blocks of data with it.
