SpectreCoin (XSPEC) is an innovative privacy focused cryptocurrency, featuring an energy-efficient proof-of-stake algorithm that provides rapid transaction confirmations, ring signatures for privacy and anonymity, and a fully integrated Tor+OBFS4 layer for IP obfuscation within the wallet.

XSPEC features

One of the best privacy coins in 2018:

Automatically Adjusted Ring Signatures
Stealth Addresses
PoSv3 60 sec transactions algorithm
5-10% staking depending on the weight of the network
Mobile app Q2 2018
Innovative first ever in crypto staking algorithm on Stealth Addresses

This coin very good to invest, can make x100-200 and cost ~500$

Most people don't even know what those technical details mean.

So to simplify.

SpectreCoin - low market cap.
Monero - high market cap.

Spectrecoin tech is better than Monero tech.

XSPEC is interesting since it also had quite a big pump like all the other privacy coins! Let's see how it evolves in the future.

Which cryptographer told you that?

their coin is just talk for now, only a few features work so far and full anon coin isnt working yet

It is not working yet? Sure? Only stealth staking dont work and default stealth adresses. Look road map prior talk shit.

Too bad they are not sold in the largest exchanges, would definitely buy if available on binance. A lot of people speak very well about XSPEC

I think soon xspec will be add at new exchanges and now really more people speak about xspec about they amazing tech. This coin have very good future  smart people understand this and hold xspec

look for yourself

this has been discussed numerous times already, i'm quoting their faq here:

"With the use of a block explorer it is possible to view the transactions that have occurred on the public blockchain; this data can be used to compile a rich list. However, any such list is inaccurate, as Spectrecoin has both public and stealth addresses, and the stealth addresses are not visible on the public blockchain.

Once stealth addresses and transactions become default with the planned 2.0 update, the already inaccurate rich list information will become obsolete."

besides that, i actually agree with generalizethis, just stating x is better than y does not benefit any discussion.

I think it is good so I invested on it.  As I did on Monero, Aeon, etc.

There is room for many, no need to bash each other's favorite coin. ;)

There is a very good and hardworking team of friends of this project. They will do great things for me.

Generalizethis is a Monero shill who comes into every XSPEC thread, and most other privacy coins, to discredit them. Just check his post history, he is bias just like everyone else. It should tell you something if hes so scared of Stealth Staking. He claims this could land XSPEC into the Top 20 of coins if its successfully implemented. My bet? I'll keep what I have in XSPEC and roll the dice. Could the developers be dishonest? Of course. You lose some money and move on. However, if Generalizethis is correct, if Stealth Staking is properly implemented XSPEC is going to explode in value. It would be the first coin with stealth staking, making it much more valuable than Monero (Monero is a great investment as well).

Regarding the FUD that he is spreading, ask yourself this: Why would a developer, who is funded by community donations alone, release how they figured out Stealth Staking before actually implementing it? That just gives the chance for more properly funded teams to use the tech and implement it before XSPEC has the chance. Why would a team completely give up their competitive advantage just to please some people spreading FUD on a forum? They wouldn't, and I wouldn't expect them to. So my view is that I'm going to invest into XSPEC believing that they are true to their word. Worse comes to worst I lose my initial investment if I don't take profits along the way. Best case scenario? XSPEC explodes and a bunch of money is to be made. All investments are gambles, and from what I've seen the developer say on XSPEC discussions I'm going to take him for his word since they've delivered so far. XSPEC is already a working coin with default stealth addresses coming soon. The team claims they will release Stealth Staking and a sort of Whitepaper for Stealth Staking targeted for Q2 of this year. Not too long to wait.

Feel free to believe the FUD, or take a gamble like you do on all other investments, and have the opportunity to get an early adopter advantage on a coin that could be easily a top coin if the developer follows the roadmap. Always do your own research.

Even if both Monero and XSPEC had equal technical specifications it would not change the fact that xspec has a low market cap, and therefore has the most potential to make someone super rich if you have enough cash to buy up lots of coins. Wish i had enough to buy up a few thousand xspecs!

I love Xspec and I hold a fair amount, but we need to stop with these posts bc ppl may consider this as bs shilling. People who do their research will know about this coin, I am confident about that. We dont need moon and lambo posts, people DYOR and find out yourselves why Xspec is one of the best (arguably the best) privacy coin out there. OP: 500$ is crazy, stop making unrealistic predictions. 30-50$ eoy is certainly possible, maybe even more, but if you just toss in 500$ soon, it makes your post lose credibility. Pls remain humble

I see you've been reading my guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1430839.0

The trade secret argument doesn't fly for coins in the top 20, so why should it fly for an unknown coin with an unknown dev? Seriously, you need a better excuse, people aren't that dumb (at least not the ones with money to invest). I get the greater fool strategy, but come on--to me it looks like you want the investor money that goes with the claim, but not to have to supply any explanation how it's supposed to work--that's called having your cake and eating it too. Either drop the claim or supply an explanation, not difficult (attacking the attacker is a lame way to deal with a problem you created).

If they get on a decent exchange, they will do much better.  The tech is there as well as the user base.  I just wouldn't touch any of the current exchanges...

Hahahaha! I see that guide was created because you were screeching about Dash being garbage when it was $7.00 a coin, back in April of 2016. Value rose to almost $1500 a coin before the end of last year. Sick call!


Does that sound familiar everyone? Same things he was saying about Dash are the same things he keeps saying about XSpec. Amateur hour indeed.

Dash is still a shitcoin and evolution turned out to be a lot of hot air--guess what that reminds me off. But dash did create masternodes, which is brilliant at keeping coins off the market, so at least they had a working innovation that they could put a white paper to, unlike some other shitcoins.

I have heard about that Spectrecoin will be listed on Trezor soon? Is that true?
A listing would mean that price could explode, or what do you think?

I bought a few XSPEC on Cryptopia. I know people have different opinions on Cryptopia, but so far it has worked well for me as a place to have small speculative positions on new coins.

Im In
Just ordered 75 with a remaining BTC balance in Cryptopia.
I agree, this coin must be in another exchangers with more volume.

The project site says that XSPEC includes native Tor integration. I'm not convinced this really adds much to privacy though - there have been plenty of instances in the past where Tor privacy and anonymity was compromised by coordinated bad actors. I'm quite confident that several governments have programs in place to track and identify Tor users on a regular basis.

What I'm more interested in is technologies like ring signatures (used by both Monero and SPEC) that provide forward secrecy, rather than just routing tricks to try and avoid detection. Look forward to hearing more about the ways XSPEC is implementing this to improve the security over the coming months.

I consider investing and holding this coin. I liked its staking reward system and of course the privacy they offer. This coin is fairly new but I guess it has a good technology. Only thing I am not sure about is the price. Its price was around 0.30 US dollars just a couple of months ago, but now it is 10 times expensive. Maybe I am going to wait a bit more for a correction and buying opportunity, this price is too much however its rank is too low in coinmarketcap. I am really confused, maybe I will watch some more time.

It's the market cap you look at, not coin price.

XSPEC very good for hold on this year, amazing growth potential

You can't really ignore the coin price if you are on a budget, but in general, I do agree. 

I do like Spectrecoin, it will do you good if you get it for a long term investment. It's got TOR(with no exit nodes) +OBFS4, stealth addresses + Ring-sig. It also got a 5% staking, so you get some interest on your coin. Hope they keep on track With the roadmap, as the upcoming features are great.

you will write your Bitcoin-address here and I will tell you how much money is on it, because Bitcoin is not a private coin.

Here is my Spectrecoin (XSPEC) Stealth-Address: smYoRN5Kna3jo3eeAnrqoDECzG59WDajtsNZHMGZEaA9sxEYwtQDZUnGBCKM5BmXBVU4K6vKH7b6s4X oNiV7yJB8vDkhzq6HjsfMbp
How much money is there? Can not answer means private.
What IP do people use this coin? Can not answer means anonymous.

But another example, allegedly private and anonymous coins Verge - IP addresses, Verge-addresses, amounts - not private and not anonymous:

Block-explorer does not show the number of coins - Monero private.
Block-chain Monero is public, and it seems like stealth addresses are visible, but they do not match the stealth-addresses that are in purses - therefore it is impossible to find them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/70v9d7/if_monero_is_private_then_what_is_this_someone/
Run the https://github.com/DotNetRussell/MoneroUserScraper script to obtain the IP addresses "213.114.82.127", "82.161.134.181", "73.150.225.122", ... the Monero wallets and nodes. Those that are constantly located are servers / pools / miners, which occasionally are wallets. Found the IP-addresses of members of the network Monero - not anonymous.

What do you mean with interest ? I have some xspec on cryptoia , do i get interest on it ?

It's Proof Of Stake, so if you have it in your wallet(and has set it for staking) you will get about 5% more coins on a yearly basis. Will probably be around 10% since not everybody are staking. In cryptopia you don't get anything.

Thank you for the explaining

I need some help, yesterday have I send some xpspec from cryptopia to my xspec wallet but I havn´t received the coins. I send it to the default adress from the wallet, whats wrong?

you need syncrho wallet

I haven't had any problems with cryptopia, in fact it's a good exchange which happens to have a lot of s+++coins but that doesn't mean it's a s+++ exchange. XSPEC has a lot of potential when you look at the technology and compare the market cap with monero and dash. If they improve their marketing strategy then this coin will go to the moon. This is proven by someone else cloning xspec and the price of that coin was 3 times higher!
