Can you guys explain this to me.... Several times I've noticed miner is switching from DAG epoch 329 to 'Generating DAG epoch #0'. I have a mix of 1070, 1060 and 104-100 cards. My 1070 cards are doing 32+ MHs for a short time then miner is restarting with DAG epoch 329 and cards are doing about 27MHs. I understand it's slowing down with bigger DAG but what is DAG for epoch #0.

It's nicehash pool? If so - nicehash can switch on the fly between different eth forks, so it can change DAG's. DAG #0 - is one of this switches to some fork untill it give better profit.


Thanks. Yes it is nicehash. Is it just idling at that time or doing shares?

Why your miner starts with epoch 0. Thats the failure. With Epoch 0 you have full speed, but the Nvidia Pascal cards loose speed with every new Epoch. So 27 is normal with no OC. My 1070 reach 29 - 30 mh at the moment with claymore and tied straps.
