Running a D3, but worker status says Scrypt?

I'm running a D3 (X11), but my worker status says Scrypt. Why is that? I also only joined the pool about an hour ago. No earnings or mining efficiency history yet. I'm guessing mining efficiency takes a few hours to show the first report like earnings.

Did you add the password a=x11 to the miner?
Otherwise it is doing scrypt, you have to tell it to use X11 algo.

Thanks much! Can I only leave the password blank for a Scrypt miner?
