Looking for Ethereum information

I've figured out how to mine and submit blocks to the Ethereum daemons. However, I've been searching the Internet for a while now, and I can't seem to find out what the stratum protocol is for Ethereum.

The most well-documented protocol is published by NiceHash. I implemented their protocol, but then I downloaded the "Claymore ETH miner" and it started sending different commands than the ones published by NiceHash. Is anyone familiar with ETH mining software and able to provide more information about which mining software is most commonly used and what protocol it uses?

This is what I have as a scrypt for claymore when mining ethereum.

I guess that means, then, that the NiceHash specifications are not used by most mining pools. This stuff is confusing because the Claymore miner isn't open source, so how is anyone supposed to figure out what the protocol is?
