SPEC has been added to c-cex.com's voting list. https://c-cex.com/?id=vote

The development team isnt as focused on getting on exchanges as we are focused on getting actual work on the services finished/tested/tweaked etc. However we do see the benefit for those who are mining SPEC to have it listed at as many places as possible in order to ensure a strong ecosystem. With that there are other benefits like network strength, community members etc.

The link has been included above for anyone that wishes to vote.

The SPEC Development Team Welcomes CallMeJake (Creator of BlockCrawler https://github.com/CallMeJake/BlockCrawler) to the Dev Team.

Jake will be giving SPECTRA a huge boost in development.

Welcome Jake

We will be eventually posting video walkthroughs, however wont be spending a lot of time on teasers or things like that. With 2 projects rolling at once currently (SPECTRA and CryptoWatcher and one secret project) the main focus is on making sure 100's of puzzle pieces are managed and put together correctly.

Obviously any updates we do will hit our announce pages, and social media pages.

Just to keep everyone updated who happens to keep tabs on SPEC, we are making good progress with development. Both CryptoWatcher and SPECTRA are coming along nicely and on schedule.

As we release services, and then build on those services the SPEC community should grow nicely.

Mary Elizabeth Frye, thats right.

Her first poem, distributed privately and low key.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Yes, and we feel like if we instill a certain sanctity to SPECULATOR, there will be no blame to pass.

There are 100's of trading methods, (some methods built on top of other methods) that can be talked about without the content creator saying "Buy this coin!" or pushing a specific coin etc.

Those wishing to show some of their methods for trading may wish to create video explanations, and we want CryptoWatcher to be the place they come to. More learning center, less specific coin hyping.

We are still working out the details which still may change a bit, but at the end of the day we think there is valuable information to be had, even if its just teaching new traders the absolute basics.

Changes have been made to the SPECULATOR project. We are refining its purpose as we get closer to working on that portion of CryptoWatcher, more details will be released.

The overall nature of SPECULATOR will now be geared towards creating a subscription based learning center for those that wish to share/monetize their trading methods, and those that wish to learn various methods or theory.

Specific buying advice will not be permitted. The aim is to not create a place for coin specific buying tips, rather insight on how others trade or have traded in the past. General trading theory will be permitted.

There is a ton of stuff going on behind the scenes while our bitcointalk ann may seem a bit quiet. 


SPECTRA and CryptoWatcher are being actively developed as some of us are behind the scenes working on other things to expand SPEC's potential when we really get rolling.

Here is the Respectful Request to Yobit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102264.msg11809736#msg11809736

Just to add, as we said previously:


No need to fight here. The situation will resolve itself with time. Everything was politely asked and the conversation should stay polite regardless of how one person feels about Yovi, YoBit or SPEC. Thanks

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah we didnt try to surmise the reasoning behind it. What Yobit.net decides to do is completely up to them. Being a new project, We would just honestly prefer to focus on creating quality services that people will actually use. However if Yovi Rise Only causes YoBit trouble to the point they shut down, its better people have their SPEC in hand before that can potentially happen.

Yes we do too. Deleted posts, trimmed chat box, all signs point to something is not quite right.

Although CryptoWatcher is our top priority at this moment, we do understand that those who mine SPEC wish it to be on an exchange. We will be making any and all exchange announcements throughout our announcement pages and social media accounts once its time to do so.

Dear SPEC Community,

We are about to ask Yobit.net to respectfully remove SPEC from its listings. We realize at this point it is the only exchange that has listed SPEC, however some of actions they have taken recently (specifically Yovi Rise Only Market) have us a bit concerned. We must respectfully request that you bring any coin held on YoBit.net, back into a SPEC QT within your possession.

Keep in mind they may decide not to delist. At this point they have removed any trace of us asking in their Yovi ANN page, and will not respond to messages here or on their site. They have also removed any trace of users speaking about it in chat.

Because this is the only exchange that has listed SPEC to date and we are asking for removal, we have agreed to purchase any SPEC with a coin age older than this post. The current Rate (39 satoshi) will be honored with us. This is for those that do not agree with what we are requesting of Yobit and dont wish to continue further with us. If you agree with our thinking and wish to stay on, then Cheers, its awesome to have you with us for sure.

We have GREAT things planned for this entire project and things are moving along rather quickly in the background, with awesome stuff happening daily. The best is yet to come, and I personally know that sometime soon everyone will see the bigger picture as our vision of services start rolling out.

Best Regards
-James

Thanks. The roadmap is a visualization of our intent to lead by example and build usable services around SPEC. If others see substance in what we are doing, we believe some of them will follow in our footsteps and roll out services of their own.


The premine is a representation of just how extensive this is all going to get. We have cash reserves, btc reserves as well as SPEC reserves. At some point we may run into a situation where we have to outsource something or bring on more devs, and they will prefer USD over bitcoin/SPEC, some will prefer btc over usd or SPEC. Some will prefer SPEC. The important thing is we have the resources to make all of this happen. Its because we were honest when discussing the project months ago, that we have these resources.

If the question is simpler as in "Hey is the premine going to be dumped?" The answer is no. The premine will never directly see an exchange, however we dont control what those being paid in spec will do. Whether it be to hold them, sell them etc. That is why when someone is paid in spec, it is in portions so as not to disrupt what the community has created exchange price wise. This spec will never be paid out in a way that upsets what the community and or traders have created. The bigger picture for us is positioning services like CryptoWatcher, Digital Currency Streaming Service and CoinFundMe for investments/funding etc.


We have a good understanding of what its going to take to build the intended services AND go beyond services like CryptoWatcher, CoinFundMe, etc. Its going to cost USD, BTC, SPEC, and Time. The fact is, its happening. Regardless of SPEC hitting exchanges, anyone loving our approach etc. What we bring to the table (we believe) is bigger and more on par with the more successful projects from the past.

Our advice to anyone who is weary of anything they may see here, is to simply revisit us once we are at the point that we are rolling out the intended services. There is no harm in coming back after significant progress is made by the dev team. This is a completely voluntary endeavor. If someone is not on board with this project, just simply revisit once we have started rolling out the timeline. We will still be here.

There are some planned features for the actual SPEC wallet that will fall within its own timeline separate from the associated services timeline. We are focused on getting the services finished, tested and released. Wallet updates or upgrades will most likely be in between projects as time passes, from the looks of things right now. If enough people want anon functions, we will add it. We feel as though wallet features shouldnt be a projects sole focus to success, and that services are the key to building a strong community.

Thank you for the kinds words. And overview of each service will be released at some point in the near future. We will also be releasing more detailed information about each point of the timeline in the form of a comprehensive whitepaper.

Been monitoring it also  . We have decided to give a "There you go champ" reward to the address that ends up solving it.

SPEC General Roadmap has been added to the SPEC Announcement. This roadmap will be refined as we go and each point will be followed by its own relative information.

Some of the smaller projects will be worked on concurrently as the larger projects are underway. Smaller projects may be added if they are needed & serve a greatly USEFUL purpose to the SPEC community.

SPEC is POW. You only need to unlock it as you are sending SPEC. It will prompt you to enter your password right before sending a transaction.

A fresh install should not come encrypted. It should only be encrypted if you have chosen to encrypt it. https://www.speccoin.com is where you will find the official wallets.

If need be you can always go int the console and enter and it will unlock the wallet for a period of time. could be for instance.
