My hashrate on xmr-stak is steady at 11.5k h/s 6x vegas but on minexmr it has been steadily decreasing for the last couple weeks. The difficulty chart shows that the difficulty has been increasing but does this explain the drop in hashrate and if it does shouldn't the hashrate on the miner be dropping too?

Your hashrate isn't going to drop based on difficulty of the coin.  Is minexmr a pool?  Sometimes the numbers that the pool front end puts out just are not correct.  Sometimes mine are close and sometimes they are way off.  The only number that counts is what xmr-stak is reporting.  Those are your real numbers.

Yeah minexmr is a pool. Thanks for the info I was pretty sure the hashrate shouldn't be dropping and from what I can tell the payouts are close to what the calculator predicts. I just found it strange that for months it showed the accurate speed ( average ) but now it's a good bit out

I chose minexmr.com and I liked it more than the nanopool
Fee 0.1% (minexmr.com) vs 1% (nanopool)
Free Payout Threshold: 0.5 xmr 0% fee vs. 0.015 fee
Manual payment 0.004 fee / (nanopool min 0.3 xmr 0.015 fee)
and the main advantage is the ability to set the diff manual (addres.paymentID.rigname+diif) best set diff = hashspeed*50.
(Nanopool diff static 112000 and too high for a weak farm)

you hash rate could fluctuate on the pool side but on your actual miner it should run steady

this is obvious, but too high initial diff or auto diff reduces efficiency on weak farms
