We got it: you are paid for your messages, but this kind of spam turn me off this coin. And now I want XSPEC to fail badly. Cheers. Same goes for DeepOnion.

Same. I won't touch it for that only reason. All those paid posts make it look like a spam.

yap. Agree

Can you proof that ppl who praising XSPEC get paid?
Maybe you cant believe but there are alot of,
who are simply conviced of this Coin and thats me too.
I rebought it even to a higher price again, so I don't like such statements without evidence.
They are pointless.

I especially hate it when they spam in Ann or speculation threads of competitors.

Do you have a prove for that paid message ? I think xspectre also have a good privacy technologi and with the small circullations like that. I think it deserve at that price. Especially the coin is not just erc20 token and has good privacy feature. Correct me if im wrong. I would love to hear from expert what their opinion about this coin.

The most baffling for me is that XSPEC and DeepOnion pretending to be super anonymous almost darknet coins. And despite that using cheap crowd marketing...Imagine TOR founders spamming about it all day in mainstream forums like that?

I think what you see are the communities behind XSPEC and DO being passionate about their projects. They both have tremendous room for growth, and they both have a lot of people wanting it to succeed. And if you look at the graphs on CMC the previous month, they do succeed. One project worthy of being mentioned as well, is ZERO. I genuinely believe this to be a better coin than Zcash, but in its infant stage.

Its annoying as fuck, wont touch either of them because of it (deep onion and xspec that is)

Might be annoying, I can understand... nonetheless I don't see such comments about PRL or Elixir... I can't count the times those coins are mentioned in speculation thread. So, be fair with people supporting XSPEC, they are probably convinced this project is good, and to be honest I agree with them. In addition, the purpose of this subpart of the forum is the speculation, so this is the game to push projects in which people believe and/or invest.

I get what you're saying, but there's a difference between people shilling their fav coin, and copy/pasting the same spiel into every thread about altcoin speculation. It's obvious the XSPEC shills are being paid and it truly is annoying. It's not obvious that PRL or Elixir shills are paid and at least they have the moderate creativity to make different posts about their coin rather than C/P.

It is quite annoying, but still better than the Dadi shilling army...

If you want them to them to stfu, just ask them where is the whitepaper or code proving that they solved anonymous staking. They'll try to offload you to slack so a dev can minimize the damage and do it in a nonpublic way.

The reality is if they had solved it, it would blasted on every news outlet and they would have the required math ready for cryptographers to analyze--the fact they want to talk around the issue is a red flag in and of itself.

The conversation should be,

You: "Do you have proof that you solved anonymous staking?"

Them: "Yes, here is the whitepaper outlining how we solved it with the required math. You can analyze it for yourself."

You, "Thank you, I will do that."

These are math based systems, not promised based systems.

ye deeponion spamming twitter and bitcointalk badly :x

No you are definitely not alone. They are like cockroaches, no matter what thread I read in the altcoin section, they are there spamming.

I would not invest in it because of the spamming they do. Just check the post history of these spammers and you wil see all they do is post about XSPEC.

Everbody should fade out all commendations when spending his money..
Do your own research and buy coins only with great tech and team.
Don't get influenced by people shilling coins, but take it as an opportunity. This way I found the most of my best coins.
Anyway, I invested in XSPEC early when nobody was talking about this coin. Now it's a little to much in my opinion.
Good coins don't need spam - they last and will be recognized someday...

It's super-annoying, we can see them in almost every thread...

I am an investor in XSPEC, and if you check my post history, you'll see that some of my comments are about XSPEC. In fact, I hold about 8 different coins, but I post about XSPEC more than I do others, such as Genesis Vision or Genaro Network, even though they are also lesser known projects.

But you would be jumping to conclusions to assume that my posts or paid, and the same goes for anybody else in the XSPEC community.

The reason you see so many posts about XSPEC is because, unlike other projects, this is all the marketing we have. There is no paid marketing by XSPEC whatsoever. The marketing solely depends on word-of-mouth.

This is firstly because XSPEC underperformed in their ICO, raising only $16,000 or so iirc. Resultantly, there just aren't the funds to spend lavishly on marketing. But you want to know the wonderful thing? The XSPEC project continues regardless because of the incredible community we have. The development is largely funded by community donations, we all pull together to move XSPEC in the right direction because we all see the potential of the project.

Nowhere else on BitcoinTalk will you see so many posts 'shilling' a coin unpaid. That's not a problem with XSPEC, it's quite the opposite. It demonstrates just how much confidence there is in the project.

Come join our Telegram to chat further, and to see that our marketing efforts are entirely voluntary and unpaid.

pretty much +1

xspec ist the only coin i‘m invested in atm, that has not yet enough funding to do proper marketing.

i do agree though, that hijacking threads about other coins isn‘t the right approach.

our marketing efforts are all public, so do feel free to join discord/slack/telegram to see no one gets paid for promoting this coin :)

Yessir, it annoys me too. Actually Im annoyed by any shilling of any coin. Its enough already that there are so many payed articles around that are spreading information that is really one sided. Not to talk about all those ref link stuff that is around. I hope this will come to an end sooner or later. Ive stepped away so far from every project that is being shilled a lot because this just shows that the project itself doesnt feel confident enough to convince people to join their community just by the fact that their project is good.

I'm not so sure they are being paid, if you look at how faith driven the entire crypto market is and look at the "promises" xspec are offering, it does bring a ton of appeal and IF they can pull it off this coin will go places.

The IF is what is driving the hype and the fact most people won't question possibilities when the hype is strong and a coin is cheap.

I'm not so sure about xspec myself, I'll keep watching and if I miss out so be it.

I understand why people get frustrated when they see XSPEC mentioned in every other thread.

But, you see, the posts are voluntary and unpaid. So, in this light, the posts reflect the fact that the community has enormous faith in the project! Members of the community choose to make the posts with no reward for doing so. It would be a mistake to see the XSPEC posts as spam - the posts are indicative of the fact that there is a real passion and excitement behind the XSPEC project.

Let me clarify: there ARE coins out there (who I won't name) who pay members of the community to spam their coins. These coins are spammy, and potentially scammy. XSPEC do not pay for such posts. Therefore, it does not imply a scam, instead it implies an unrivaled level of enthusiasm behind the project. Hopefully this can be appealing to you, as an investor  :)

Xspec investors are like hooligans. They do the marketing and support the project. Proof of loyalty 3.0 for me :D

the champion community spammer are deeponion , army of spammers working to get rewards points invade every social account possible

Totally agree, not you first bro :)
XSPEC everywhere, in every topic, and the worst thing you know? they copy/paste same text everywhere, cant wrote something unique by hands.
I dont like XSPEC, if i have to choose in anonymous coins in growing procces, i will choose DeepOnion, for many more future, and super active Staff team.

If you hate this, then you hate it for all of the coins and not just XSPEC.

There is a lot more spamming about TRON and other shitcoins that don't have a product but just a whitepaper..this one at least has a product and a good future in front of it...

Also XSPEC doesn't spam us with "news" like other coins..."look we added a potential new partner", "look we will maybe do this"... and bumping the price...

im one of those "spammers'' i guess, only because im enthausiastic about this project and trying to promote them as they don't raised enough money for promotions.
But if i would have getting paid for these "awareness posts" then i would be rich already and don't need to promote any longer....

i understand your point, but getting paid, unfortunately no :(  (deep opnion supporters are getting paid by airdrops, free coins etc by writing at least a couple positive messages EACH WEEK about them... so blame them)

nothing is more satisfying then invsting in a coin, you believe in, and attract more investors joining the walk.

Exactly I haven't seen no spam posts about xspec. A lot of people are excited about it and are talking about it. Haven't seen where anyone is getting paid for it. The community is donating back to the devs for all their work, and future upgrades. It has great tech and an awesome community.

It's not about promoting the coin. The copy and paste texts are the annoying part.

An example of such text would be appreciated.

I am an XSPEC hodler and I like the devs approach to people in Telegram and Slack.

Also, I am totally agree for the copy paste texts and pictures part. Although I am a big believer of XSPEC, those copy paste comments really annoy me too. I hope XSPEC supporters can convince other people with their own words that XSPEC is a good coin.

I still think XSPEC team needs a marketing team, because those copy paste posts make XSPEC look like scam.

I was inside this project, invested but lack of communication, too many délays.
It s not serious but good project on the paper

I can assure you that no one is getting paid to spam this project. As a large holder in Spectrecoin for sometime now I have actually offered to pay people to make educational videos on this thread and have yet to receive any offers:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659097.msg27108855#msg27108855

Our community continues to grow at a very rapid pace and is strictly grassroots marketing from a diverse group genuinely interested in the potential of this project. I advise you all to join.

Cheers

i think the most annoying part of the posts, is that they are all new members, and they all just copy paste the smae thing, the same image.

i really dislike it .

but also, its basically an advertisement, but as a forum post.
