So this experiment was very insightful. Looks like the SPEC mining diff isn't actually controlled by the actual nethash at all. Throughout the experiment so far i have had 2-2.5 GH/s pointed to one pool. Not once did the total nethash spike over 110 MH/s and the diff actually went down to 90 after spiking at 398 for the diff. SPEC seems to only be capable of 4 difficulties. 7, 90, 249, 398 which fluctuate with the 110MH/s nethash displayed. Never once was the nethash above 133 MH/s (which it's currently stuck at now) with a diff of 249.
Obviously this is incorrect. To make sure the nethash was being properly reported by the pool i moved the rental over to GENstake which is correctly reporting the hashrate and adjusting the nethash accordingly.
This leaves me to believe the nethash for SPEC is fake and thus the difficulty is artificially inflated. I will continue to monitor the SPEC nethash and difficulty to see if it rises at all or if it continues to fluctuate between 94MH/s and 110MH/s average.
Hopefully someone can prove my findings to be incorrect.
