Hi Cobaro, you should be able to find most answers to your questions here: http://coinwiki.info/en/SpectreCoin

If there are any questions left, just ask. 

Well Mandica is "part-time" to the extent of not being available at all for most of the time. But she's the founder so she will always stay a part of the team. The rest is correct!

For all those who have still problems with their wallet, consider the following guide that I wrote:

https://github.com/bitcoinx2/Espers/wiki/Solving-wallet-issues

I don't think Spectrecoin (XSPEC) is listed on C-Cex, uhm... 

You can find the current markets here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/spectrecoin/#markets

Check if your block number matches that from https://espstats.net/ . If so, you are most likely on the right chain.

Take a look here: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/Espers/wiki/FAQ

See my previous post. I experienced the same problem, adding nodes solves it. I have forwarded the problem to jbg.

You can look up the node list here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/#!network

Then go to the Debug console via "Debug" in the menu, and type for a few of these addresses:

addnode c5rpzfklcbbspzhg.onion add <Enter>

Then you should sync fine.

You can transfer your wallet.dat to another computer, yes. The database versions need to be compatible. For me it is usually easier to transfer the clear text private key. You can also use the debug console for this, is works the same as for any other coin.

Then join our channel over there! The link is on the first page of this thread.

The problem with swapping to Wispr is:

a) If Espers is worthless and has no future, then why should they ask you to give them your ESP? They could just copy the balances of the current chain and continue from there. This benefits the holders of ESP just as well, if that is their goal.

b) If Espers is NOT worthless or has a future, then you should probably not give them to someone else. This is just your usual ICO with all the risks of it, e.g. the risk that Wispr people just take the money and run. Cryptocoderz has no huge amounts of money, so he has no incentive to run or leave this project. The risk/reward ratio of holding ESP is much better in this case.

So the only possible reason for them to do this, is that you think that Espers is worthless, but they think it's not. And you are giving them your ESP for something that doesn't exist yet. To me this is the definition of being tricked.

Just to make this clear for everybody, because it was asked in Slack: Our cryptographer @brycel is currently overhauling the stealth transaction mechanism, which has two objectives: First, we want to make stealth transactions the default. Currently they are possible, but few people use them, so this will hopefully increase the adoption of stealth transactions in SpectreCoin. This was already planned for 1.4, but maybe be a bit delayed.

The second step will be to introduce stealth staking, that is a totally anonymous PoS system using ring signatures. This will initiate the next major release, version 2.0. My personal estimation, based on what our lead developer @jbg said, would be mid- to end of January.

There are two kinds of balance in SpectreCoin, one is the private balance and the other is the public balance. Private balances are not shown on the block explorer, and when we will have proof-of-stake using private balances, that should give us a very interesting anonymous consensus mechanism (ACM) that has never been seen before.  

It's the zero-balance bug. It's one of the reasons why jbg is making the new wallet. You don't have to do anything, just ignore the zero. Everything works regardless. It will also update if you receive a payment or a stake reward. You can also run the wallet with the -rescan command line option, which should fix it as well (but only once).

This is a very accurate analysis of the current situation!  Totally agree.

(idk if I should keep posting names here for the record of it, or just send it to you mprep? It could be interesting here for other people to watch and understand the problem.)

Ok I'll just continue the list of users who are making suspicious posts here:

Note how the user names are just combinations of two completely random words.

Ok thanks! So TitGold will be a WAVES token that will be used in your game. Users can use Titcoin for buying TitGold on your website, or they can buy TitGold directly via a different exchange.

Actually, I agree with you that using Titcoin for your comic strategy game would not have been a good use of it. But the interesting question for me would be, what are your plans for Titcoin now? Also in terms of time. Most of your roadmap only seems to cover Triple X Tycoon and everything that's related to it.

You are saying you want to use Titcoin more on the B2B side (business 2 business). So what are your plans in this regard? Do you have a roadmap for that yet? Personally I would like to see Titcoin to be used as a payment method on various sites, e.g. premium porn sites or camming sites. So in that case you could create web APIs for it, or update the wallet interface to be more pleasantly looking, or add features to it that makes it easy to be used in camming scenarios (QR code integration etc.).

Do you have any plans similar to these ideas?

So is TitGold a new cryptocurrency or not?  

Could you explain what TitGold (technically) is and what Titcoin and Titgold will be used for, respectively? Maybe you could give us some examples of use cases here?

If it works for you, it's fine. But it is not guaranteed to work for everyone because of this certain bug that is currently being worked on. So you are kind of lucky in this case.  



I don't think CC is working on too many other projects besides Espers right now, but of course we don't know... I think he has been offered money for hiring additional devs several times in the past, but iirc he said that finding suitable devs is not so easy. Unlike other projects which are only about improving the wallet interface, Espers is very low-level and often the development work directly deals with changes to the protocol. Most other devs who would be knowledgeable enough to do this kind of work, already have their own project, just like CryptoCoderz himself. The trailing "Z" was definitely meant to cover multiple blockchain experts to work together, as I am interpreting it.    But right now it's only one of them (yet), plus all the people in the team doing supplemental work like infrastructure, website etc.

Of course it has, there are many anonymity-focused coins... Monero, Verge, Spectrecoin... latter is the one I am currently involved with, it is basically doing the same as DeepOnion, but do it "right"... we are also operating via Tor, we already have stealth transactions, project transparency, good distribution and community-funded development.
