Is MoC already hardcoded into spec.json?

[rstormsf]

Is there a way to specify a different spec.json?
I think our playbook is using poa-chain-spec which already has MoC address built in

NB: When launching new networks based make sure to checkout either sokol or core branch. master is currently being updated, something might be broken

Yes, MoC address is part of poa network consensus constructor, so it's in spec.json in bytecode.
There is no built-in way to change spec, however there are some workarounds that depend on what exactly you want to achieve.

1. if you plan on changing other things, you can fork all related repositories (deployment-playbooks, poa-scripts-validator, poa-scripts-moc, poa-chain-spec, eth-netstats, eth-net-intelligence-api, chain-explorer) to your account rstormsf and then change this variable https://github.com/poanetwork/deployment-playbooks/blob/sokol/group_vars/all.network#L32 to rstormsf

2. if you just want to change spec file, you'll need to provide its url here:
