Why are technical questions or questions about the team not answered? It sounds interesting, but there is absoulutely no form of evidence that this project actually exists in reality? No GitHub contributions, no Twitter, no Telegram, no data about the team, what is this???
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]Spectrecoin[XSPEC] TOR+OBFS4, Ring Sig, Stealth! on: January 29, 2018, 07:05:53 PM
i would soon like to invest in XSPEC and there would still be a question about pos.
how many coins do i need to stake and how high is the roi?

I have just earlier today started staking my XSPEC coins.
I should receive my reward in about 7 days. My question is, is it safe to restart my computer during this time or will it reset back to 8 days if I restart?

Both of you should take a look at this little FAQ that I wrote: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/crypto-intro-guide/wiki/Proof-of-Stake

The reward is 5% p.a.

Thanks, so just to confirm, my 541 coins would be about 1,55 per day?
541 * 1.05 / 365 = 1,55 XSPEC


541 * 0.05 / 365 = 0,074 XSPEC

That math correct? Because if it's so low I'm ditching staking because it's not worth it.

1. examine the FAQ Gandalf.
2. at this rate You will be charged 0.2 coins per day because of transaction 2.14 coins respectively, at 10 days You will receive dividends.
3. running a wallet on your computer consumes very little energy, but each new purse adds more stability to the system.
4. And if next year xspec will cost$1000? Are you sure you want to lose a potentially good income?.

$1000? I doubt that will happen. I don't think even $100 will happen.

$1000 is very, very, very ambitious to say the least. 100$ is doable imho, it would mean a marketcap of 2 bln. There are a LOT of coins in the top 30 which do not have the tech Xspec has, so I would say its certainly possible. Anything up to 200$ is possible, even this year, especially once stealth staking is out and Xspec will get massive attention.

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
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XSPEC SCAM on: January 16, 2018, 07:03:18 PM
I really do not understand the posts saying xspec is a scam while from the contents of their posts it is blatently obvious they do not have a single clue what Xspec is really about. One of the reasons is probably the fact that xspec has been `promoted` by the xspec community, since marketing of xspec is completely community driven. No expensive paid PR companies, but just `regular`ppl who truly believe in this privacy coin. While I understand that this may come across as shilling to any outsider, it does not justify unbacked accustations as `scam`. I suppose one can say it can come across as annoying if you see 100 posts about one specific coin, but I hate the word `scam`. It is randomly used by people who either do not understand the project or who are mad because they did not get in in time. Anyways, I love Xspec and I will hodl until infinite.

Post how spectre achieves anonymous staking or stfu.

That's all that should matter to investors and if it's available, post it and end any debate.

I'm not apologizing for getting angry with people who waste my time. He could have just wrote, "I don't know how it works," and saved us both some time. Instead he tried to make it out like I was asking an unreasonable question and deflecting from the question.

As far as grammar, I'm not apologizing for expecting words to fall in line with their definitions and not to have to debate their meaning when there is only one definition--this goes back to my annoyance of having my time wasted. Instead of trying to make it about me versus spectre, you should focus on why people believe it can do something that's never been done before without a whitepaper or an explanation as to how it works.

It's simple--post how it works or expect me to call you out on it. I'm not jumping through hoops for you and it's customary to have a whitepaper to go along with a new claim. Expecting less is a much bigger  problem than any personality conflict you have with me.

Lol, best post ever. I feel sorry for ppl with anger issues. I wish not only them, but especially their loved ones (if any, lol) the best, cause I know how that can impact one's life. But we cannot know what the real issue is. Could also be autistic/Asperger (not trying to insult ppl with Asperger here). Bottom line: he needs help, thats obvious.

As you can see in my previous post, I was open for debate. But (again) saying 'stfu' completely disqualifies you as an individual to have a serious debate with and I swear to God I stopped reading. Good luck arguing with yourself, cause I doubt anyone will wanna have a discussion with you. Anyways, I wish you the best mate.

@generalizethis

agree to disagree.

So you don't think developers should offer proof they can deliver on their promises?

Sorry, I meant on the grammar lesson haha.

The developers should offer proof only through open source release of the technology. I believe Monero should have done the same before collecting millions of dollars for Kovri.

Kovri is open source and existed before Monero.

So you agree that spectre should provide proof they solved anonymous staking?

Also, so you disagree that we should use common usage as the deciding factor on how we interpret words? I'm just discussing day-to-day usage and disregarding special circumstances such as an academic or poet coining a new term or a new use for existing terms.

Yes, but Kovri is not actually implemented.

I am not having the grammar argument. I am not arguing that my BA and Law Degree weren't my worst investment either. You can have the grammar argument title too. I still have my massive bag of both Monero and Spectre. One of which has fast transactions, stakes out a nice pay daily and doesn't have even a fraction of the fee.

If you don't want to argue word usage that's fine, but don't write, "agree to disagree" and expect me to disregard an inane argument. Just wanted clarification that that was the argument you were standing your ground at.

As far as Kovri goes, the code is being developed on GitHub, so anyone can peruse it and look to see if it is as it should be. Funding work before there is a finished product is common and no one funding the work was under any impression that that wasn't the case.

Nice side stepping, but let's repeat the question, and just "yes" or "no." No side stepping or getting frustrated with how language works or trying to focus attention on a project outside the scope of this thread.

Do you think spectre coin should make available how they plan to make anonyous staking work?

My point in all of this has been that usually when a project fails at providing proof, it's  because it is vaporware and there is no proof. If you want to invest on hope, that's fine--but don't pretend it's reasonable for others to do the same.



No, because nothing matters until it has been released and is running. Like I said, its backed merely through the world of development. But based on those facts, don't tell me that Monero has a superior approach by introducing Kovri without releasing wallet implementation.


"No..." so you're a moron--that's all i was trying to figure out

TX and IP data are two different things so what difference does it make to someone where using Monero is legal as to whether kovri is implemented at all?  Monero works as advertised--it hides TX data. Hiding IP data on;ly matters if you are living inside a country where using that particular crypto is illegal.

I just want to know how anonymous staking is achieved, shouldn't be that big a deal. Say you don't know and go about your day. Not sure why we have to circle around it and pretend that it doesn't matter or use faulty compaison that disregard how cryptocurrencies achieve anonymity.


Well, you can't spell Monero without m-o-r-o-n either.  Wink

Locking that comment in for when spectre fails to deliver--i suggest you get a new username now as this one will lose all credibility.


No, I'll keep the comment so the public can see your fuelled anger you edited out of embarrassment. Like you say 'facts over fud.' Time will tell. Ill be holding my massive bags of Both Monero and Spectrecoin either way.

Edited out of embarrassment? I edit a lot after I post--i'm a perfectionist. I thought explaining why you are a moron is better than just calling you a moron--doesn't change that I feel you are a moron and definatley not ashamed of calling you a moron. As much of my time as you've wasted, I'm surprised I didn't call you worse and earlier. My only comfort is that you will likely lose a lot of money when the devs dump their shitcoin.

Prediction for spectre: date assigned for anonymous staking implementation, pump, date comes with delay or complete disappearance of the spectre devs. You hodling a bag of nothing and wishing you had listened to me instead of wasting my time.

Dude, instead of acting as if you all know it, why even bother spamming this post and just let it go? Please let's have a debate in a civilized manner instead of saying things as "stfu" and "moron" to people here and laughing on their grammer, that means you are either immature or not open for debate but merely here to confim what you already seem to regard as being the ultimate truth.

Instead of arguing without any sense, you could have gotten an answer from the dev team, try @jbg on spectreproject.slack.com, who will provide you with an answer in a matter of minutes as the devs are very active and open for answering questions. I know many, many coins are being shilled without any underlying tech and many promises are being made in this cryptomarket, but what you are doing now is discussing matters with a person who cannot provide you with an answer, which does not get you anywhere but confirm your thoughts you already seem to have. It does not make any sense.

That being said, it is not strange that new upcoming tech is not revealed in great detail. Why should they? Xspec has a very strong community of people who really believe in the coin and its underlying tech. If we would be your regular pump and dump coin, you would have seen 1000's of posts everywhere claiming we have the new next bext greatest thing ever (remember "Wraith"?). That is not happening here. In addition, I invite you to take a look at the 3 or 6 monthly chart. Do you see any pattern here of a pump and dump coin? The coin has been and is growing slowly but steadily. I invite you to join our slack, you will see a great community which is happily going to provide you with any questions you may have. If you are not interested, that would be your right of course, but please let's debate decently. Peace!
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WHAT COIN IS WORTH HOLDING FOR ATLEAST A YEAR FROM NOW? on: January 15, 2018, 06:01:50 PM
Since XSPEC is shilled so hard I would rather stay away from it. This looks so P&D.

Good holds for one year from now:
- IOTA
- Lisk
- Neo
- Sonm
- Shift
- Nebulas
- Stratis
- DragonChain

One quick look at the 3 or 6 month chart immediately shows your statement is incorrect. Why not give it a chance and read into Xspec's tech and come back and tell us how you fell then instead of making assumptions based on ...?
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XSPEC] SPECTRECOIN new website release 8th january on: January 09, 2018, 06:45:00 PM
The point is, good and solid projects usually take a LOT of time to really take-off. Look at your Moneros, Ethereum, Dash etc., they did not become billion dollar coins/tokens in a few months. Xspec has been doing very well the last couple of months/weeks and one cannot expect a coin to just keep rising. Many, many of the coins in the current market are just being pumped (and dumped) by big whales who do not give a flying duck about the coin itself. I am not going to mention names here of "scamcoins" (that is besides the point), but if you are truly interested in a top-notch privacy coin, one can simply not forget xspec. I bought in at 2$, but I wish I bought way, way more. Buy some and hodl, u will be happy next year.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BEST ICOS for January 2018 on: January 08, 2018, 01:46:39 PM
I feel Gems Protocol is a solid contender for one of the best upcoming ICO's.

Gems Protocol is a decentalised version of Mechanical Turk.
It basically solves all the pain points of centralised system, cutting the central fees out of the system. Plus easier interface and decentralised payment systems.

One of the good usecases of cryptocurrency. I am looking forward to use its platform.

Founders Rory and Kieran already have a success under their belt Gifs.com. Also Rory has Theil fellowship which aint easy imo. Advisor is cofounder of twitter which is big.

I hope they expand the team and include some blockchain experts, they already have a few not mentioned on their site.

I strongly recommend that you join gems' telegram and visit it's website.

Finally someone who mentioned this nice project Smiley. There are a LOT of ICO's out there and it's a jungle to say the least. But I feel GEMS is one of the most promising projects out there. It basically creates a new ecosystem around so-called mechanical turks (which are microtasks needed for any business where a human brain is needed). Amazon currently runs a program like this, so one can imagine how huge the market is. Read about it and you will thank me later!

PS: I forgot to mention the great team behind this project. Very cool project with very active community!

A vote on Best Privacy Coin,DeepOnion get 82% of the support.
https://twitter.com/CryptoInvest18/status/950041466071547906
What's your opinion?

the fact that Spectrecoin is not included in the voting, disqualifies the whole vote lol. Are u kidding me..
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What coins are about to explode? on: January 05, 2018, 10:05:41 AM
Xspec. Has been getting some traction lately, but  a lot room for growth. Low supply of 20 million, great tech/features and team and probably the best privacy coin out there. Look it up, do your own research and let me know if I was not correct  Cheesy
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Xspec a scam like DeepOnion? Whats even the fucking point? on: January 04, 2018, 07:18:39 PM
I saw a lot of people shill about Xspec, sometimes it seemed even with copy&paste posts. They dont have a sig tho like the DeepOnion guys who now even need to make fake purchases at Exchanges to push the price up artificially.

Is Xspec the same? A bounty/spam campaign but they pay them even without having a sig? Possibly by the same guys as Deeponion?

Why do people do this? There is so many real privacy coins still low like Colx (based on Pivx), Zoin (based on Zerocoin), Linda of which some have very large, real communitys and 100s of devs in Github, coming exchange listings and dev updates-... why would people push scamcoins when they could make way more money in real projects, give back to the crypto communty,. and we all win ? Sharing the value instead of making just the owner of DeepOnion & co rich?





I can understand where you are coming from..seeing a LOT of posts about a certain coin generally raises suspicion to me as well. One has to understand that the Xspec team has little to no budget for marketing, so we as a community decided to show the outside world what benefits Xspec has and why we think Xspec is a good coin. I will not repeat the great features Xspec has, since many others have already have, but if you look to find a good coin in general and a privacy coin in particular, one cannot forget about Xspec.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About this Spectrecoin(XSPEC) on: December 26, 2017, 12:06:23 PM
Spectre is a flop. Look at deeponion instead, the community is huge because the dev team was not gready and wanted ICO money. Deeponion dev team are giving the coins away for free!!

Funny that you say that, considering that the SpectreCoin dev team holds absolutely zero ICO money themselves.  By your own admission, the DeepOnion dev team is financially supporting the marketing efforts of the community.   In sharp contrast, the SpectreCoin devs are themselves financially supported by a highly motivated community of true believers, who happen to run the marketing efforts on their own with zero compensation, because they are THAT determined to help bring the SpectreCoin vision of a Hawala-like, 100% private and anonymous, peer-to-peer electronic cash for small remittances to fruition.

Which team would you put your money on in the long run?

Spot on, mate. I found about Xspec not too long ago, and what I noticed pretty quick is the unbelievably dedicated community..the community is strong and support devs in order for them to fully focus on the product instead of other stuff. Very humble devs who look at the actual product instead of many other coins which tend to focus on "flashy"stuff and BS marketing. At the end of the road, the turtle will always win, remember that. Actual product beats hype all day every day.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Any undervalued coins? on: December 25, 2017, 12:50:00 PM
It has been mentioned a couple of time before my post here, but Xspec is a coin which I am very interested in. One of the best (if not the best) privacy coins out there: TOR + OSBF4, fast, PoSv3, very dedicated devs (15+ years of cryptography experience) and nice community. Read into it and I am sure you will be convinced by its amazing tech Smiley.

16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it good time to buy alts now? on: December 24, 2017, 07:45:09 PM
As far as I am concerned, privacy coins will become more and more important. It doesnt really matter whether you buy your privacy coins today or tomorrow, since they will probably skyrocket next year. One of the more promising project is Spectrecoin. Very good tech (TOR + SBF4, stealth addresses, very fast with low power consumption), very good devs and community and still a very low marketcap. read about it, buy some now, and you will be thanking me later Smiley.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Spectrecoin predictions on: December 24, 2017, 07:02:32 PM
I want to provide some information:
Alot of members are recommended to post on forums and other places to show support and love to the project.
I noticed it became too much lately and saw that alot other forum members here are now annoyed at xspec.
Thats obviously not the meaning of us.
So why are we doing that? Apparantly the development of the coin does not spend anything on marketting. They dont have the funds for that.
So they rely on mouth to mouth or also said “grass-root” marketting.

So it got too much spammy lately and i apologise for being annoying. I probaly wouldnt do business with a over-spammed product either.

But the reasons why we advertise is because we believe its the best tech behind a coin that exists until today.
So we are not bots, but investors that are enthousiastic about a coin that has the best potential. However without marketting this coin stands no chance.

So to stay on topic: if xspec takes off i predict it going up massively. A new site is coming because the current site looks shitty. For the rest development continues even though the tech is already awesome.
But if it does not take off because the whales do not know the potential of this coin, i dont think it will rise much more.

This is my neutral standpoint on the coin. Even though i invested, i always try to look neutral at a subject.

Great post and I fully agree. For outsiders it may be considerd "spamming",but to me it only shows how dedicated and serious the community is. We really try to explain to the outside world why our coin is pretty much the best privacy coin. Backed with real facts, such as the TOR + OSBF4 feature, the fast transactions, the stealth addresses which we become the standard in the Xspec wallet etc. etc. en no "empty" shilling. Pls consider Xspec if you are interested in a growing and evolving coin in general and a very serious privacy coin in particular.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best crypto to buy now? on: December 24, 2017, 06:47:26 PM
My biggest bet is on privacy coins. There are some out there like Verge, SUMO but especially XSPEC. I have bought some of these coins but i think XSPEC will grow a lot in 2018. There are a couple of reasons for it, the price is too low at the moment compared to what it offers.

For example, it has TOR integrated in the client and you can use stealth addresses. Soon version 1.4 will be released and a new website as well, this will give XSPEC a boost.  So, it has a bright future ahead of it.


Wow, finally somebody who also mentions Xspec. Pretty much the best privacy coin out there. Still relatively low on the radar and low marketcap so much room for growth. Once 1.4 is out and marketing will start become more priority, further growth is likely. My best bet for 2018!
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 7000$ to invest for 2018 on: December 24, 2017, 06:32:02 PM
Most of the coins have already been pumped. I am convinced that privacy coins will be major in 2018. One of the best (if not the best) privacycoins is XSPEC. I consider it pretty much the best privacy coin, the tech is impeccable, it has TOR with OSBF4 integrated, it is very fast and low power consuming and backed by a very strong team and community. Still very cheap for its value, 2018 will be a good year for Xspec. Buy some, you will thank me later Smiley.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best Proof of Stake coins to invest now and gain huge in 2020? Next Dash? on: December 24, 2017, 02:01:00 PM
Spectercoin is the technology of the future because it's tor + obfs4, a new feature on private coins you've never seen before, I've already bought it, but I'll keep buying


I assume you mean SpectreCoin? I love XSPEC too. I am trying to convince my friends to buy some, cause it is ridiculous how cheap this coin is compared to the underlying tech (which is really superior to many other privacy coins). I know people will not believe me at first instance, but XSPEC has the best written code for any privacy coin, period. The TOR + OSBF4, the fast transactions, the PoS (which gets you Xspec rewarded while having the wallet opened, which costs very low energy), the very professional team, etc etc. It is really surprising how many coins get attention, while this gem is being looked over. One of the best coins to buy for 2018, you will thank me later!
