1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The privacy coin race on: September 16, 2018, 03:00:15 AM
I own Monero, Spectrecoin and Zcash. If you’re going to invest in privacy coins please learn the difference between each privacy feature. Mandica who is the Project Manager of Spectrecoin explained very well what features to consider when investing in privacy coins.Below is a brief overview of the major blockchain privacy mechanisms that are implemented in cryptocurrencies

CryptoNote and Ring Signatures
As used in: Monero, Spectrecoin

Pros:
•No need for a mixer and mixing is done automatically
•Can be implemented with privacy on by default
•Anonymity increases as time passes as outputs become the new inputs of new mixes
•Hides transaction amounts when implemented with RingCT
•Well researched cryptography

Cons:
•Scalability issues because of large transaction sizes and a non prunable blockchain
•Risks of blockchain being deanonymized in the future or through incorrect implementations
•Cannot take advantage of existing Bitcoin ecosystem and requires separate integration work
•Ring size is practically limited

Zerocash and Zcash
As used in: Zcash, Zencash, Komodo

Pros:
•Potentially the best anonymity set encompassing all coins minted and breaks transaction links between addresses.
•Proof sizes are small and fast to verify
•Hides transaction amounts
•No need for conversion to a base coin and anonymized coins can be sent directly to each other.

Cons:
•Private transactions take a while to generate (almost a minute on a decently powerful computer)
•Complicated trusted setup that has to be done by the developers.
•Incorrect implementation or leakage of trusted setup parameters can lead to forgery of coins.
•Supply cannot be audited therefore forgery can be very difficult to detect.
•Uses relatively new cryptography


Zerocoin and Zcoin
As used in: Zcoin, PIVX

Pros:
•No need for a mixer
•Very high anonymity in the many thousands (if not more) with a single mint and spend transaction and completely •breaks transaction links between addresses.
•Retains supply auditability
•Uses well-researched cryptography

Cons:
•Proof sizes are currently large
•Requires a trusted setup
•Incorrect implementation or leakage of trusted setup parameters can lead to forgery of coins.
•Some care is required when doing Zerocoin mints and spends.


Cryptocurrency Tumblers and CoinJoin
As used in: Dash

Pros:
•Works on top of most cryptocurrencies without the need for specific consensus rules
•Relatively simple to implement
•Lightweight

Cons:
•Basic anonymity
•Requires mixers to be online
•Earlier implementations involve trust in a third party mixer

Spectrecoin-10% per annum
Nebilo -10% per annum
Ark-10% per annum  (DPOS)
Nuls-10% per annum (must own minimum 2000)

These are all quality projects where you can also earn passive income by staking

Titcoin could fork with Wisp? Jbg and Bryce could be the new devs and you could name the new coin wispy tits?
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most promising projects in 2018 on: September 06, 2018, 05:05:37 AM
These are my Top 3 most promising project’s that I believe will make it big in 2019/2020

1. Ark Coinmarketcap - 72

ARK provides users, developers, and startups with innovative blockchain technologies. Ark aim to create an entire ecosystem of linked chains and a virtual spiderweb of endless use-cases that make ARK highly flexible, adaptable, and scalable. ARK is a secure platform designed for mass adoption and will deliver the services that consumers want and developers need. Ark has 8 second block times which makes it one of the fastest in the industry.ARK utilizes a modified Delegated-Proof-Of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism featuring 51 delegates. You can simply stake your coins and earn a passive income of approximately 10% per annum.

2. Spectrecoin coinmarketcap - 442

One of the most secure privacy coins on the market. Stealth address , Native Tor integration + OBFS4, Ring sigs, PoSV3. Spectrecoin will implement proof of stealth in Q1 2019. This feature is a game changer for Proof of stake privacy coins.Proof of stealth will allow the user to stake and be rewarded with untraceable coins. You can stake spectrecoin and earn 10% per annum. The best way to understand Spectrecoin today is to think of Bitcoin + Proof-of-Stake.v3 + anonymous transactions (using similar technology to Monero) + Tor / OBFS4 to hide your IP.

3. Nuls coinmarketcap - 91

Instead of designing a one-size-fits-all type of blockchain, NULS specializes in modular blockchain architecture – a design concept similar to that used in web construction by WordPress – allowing clients to create their own type of blockchain depending on their needs. It will be especially useful for companies with little or no technical expertise, who want to incorporate blockchain technology into their business, but can’t afford to recruit expensive software engineers to do it for them. If you own 2000 Nuls you can stake for approximately 10% per annum
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: i want to invest now,What coin will rise max when the bull market arrives? on: September 06, 2018, 04:37:18 AM
I would suggest not investing all your savings into crypto as it’s far to risky an investment. As for what coins to invest in I would be selecting coins inside the top 100 such as Bitcoin, Eth , stellar , Ark and Kyber network.The following  coins Spectrecoin, BRD token and Ethos are outside the top 100 but are very solid projects that may one day move inside top 100 and bring you massive returns. Have a portfolio of a few different coins is my suggestion
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next 100x-1000x coin? on: September 06, 2018, 12:29:50 AM
You won’t see that type of return by investing in coins within the top 100 on coinmarket cap. You will have to look for smaller cap coins. My choice is Spectrecoin. It’s a smaller capped Privacy coin ranked in the 400’s on coinmarket cap. It’s a very solid project with outstanding Tech. It is also a proof of stake coin where you can earn approximately 10% per annum by staking your coins in their wallet. Lots of new exciting features are about to be added to this coin. In Q1 2019 Proof of stealth with be implemented. This allows the user to stake their coins and earn untraceable coins. Team is also looking at adding coin symmetry, dandelion ++ and confidential transactions (CT). Spectrecoin just released V.2 which implemented a development funding mechanism where every 6th block goes towards funding for the project. Short term I see it easily reaching $20, long term potentially $100’s of dollars. The best way to understand Spectrecoin today is to think of Bitcoin + Proof-of-Stake.v3 + anonymous transactions (using similar technology to Monero) + Tor/Obfs4 to hide your IP. These are very strong features to build on.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favourite coin so far on: September 05, 2018, 04:29:58 AM
I have a handful of projects I believe in long term. My favourite one though would have to be Spectrecoin. It’s a small cap coin ranking in the 400s on coinmarket cap.The privacy tech behind this coin is already on par with Monero, Zcash and Pivx. Spectrecoin utilises in wallet Tor + Obfs4, ring sigs , stealth address to protect your identity. Stealth staking or proof of stealth which is being released in Q1 2019 will absolutely sky rocket this coin up the rankings on coinmarket cap. Stealth staking will allow the user to stake private coins and earn untraceable coins in return. The team is also looking to implement coin symmetry, Confidential Transactions (CT) and Dandelion++. Spectrecoin is a Proof of stake coin which allows the user to stake your coins and earn 10% per annum.V.2 was just released, this implemented development funding where every 6th block funds the development of this project .There is so much to like about this project and it’s only a matter of time until the crypto community takes notice.

Definitely Bitcoin,  other altcoins will probably make you more profit but bitcoin is your safest bet. If you’re looking at alrcoins than I personally like Spectrecoin,Ark and Nuls.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Spectrecoin Introduces 'Stealth Address Staking' - An Innovation in Privacy on: September 04, 2018, 03:22:06 AM
Proof of stealth also known as stealth staking will be implemented in Q1 2019. This basically means you can stake your coins and earn untraceable coins in return. This is a game changer for Proof of stake privacy coins. Pivx recently implemented their own version of stealth staking however the Spectrecoin version is vastly different as both coins have very different privacy features.Staking your Spectrecoin in your wallet will earn you approximately 10% per annum.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best coin to invest for x10 profit on: September 03, 2018, 07:48:57 AM
Spectrecoin (coin marketcap 440)

It’s currently a small market cap coin with low circulating supply. The reason why I like this privacy coin are listed below

*Ring signature
*Stealth address
*Tor + obfs4
*PoSV3- spectrecoin is is proof of stake coin where you earn approximately 10% per annum by just owning and storing your coins in the wallet
*21 million coins

In Q1 2018 spectrecoin will add a new feature called proof of stealth . This will allow the user to stake and earn untraceable coins. This is a game changer for POS privacy coins.

Spectrecoin is already one of the most secure privacy coins on the market. With new added features this coin has the potential to rival that of Monero.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Give me a coin that will easily go 3x on: September 03, 2018, 04:38:19 AM
It’s hard replying to these sorts of questions without sounding like a shill. If I recommend coins I always like to describe why I like the project. I could list a whole host of coins here but it would take forever to list all the reasons why I like the project. I will just name one and keep it simple.

Spectrecoin

This is a privacy coin ranked about 440 on coinmarketcap.

Features include -

-tor + obfs4
-ring sigs
-stealth address
-PoSV3 You can stake and earn approximately 10% per annum
-Q1 2019 Proof of stealth will be implemented. This means you can stake and receive untraceable coins.
-strong team and community
-development funding was implemented in V.2 where every 6th block goes towards funding
-has an already working product
-new exchanges soon to be listed

It’s definitely worth at least looking at and following. Wether or not you invest is up to the individual


12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best coin for 2018 that is very cheap now? on: September 03, 2018, 12:39:00 AM
I agree with many choices on here. I think Nano, basic attention token, Spectrecoin, Stellar and Ox are worth looking into at these prices. My portfolio includes coins inside the top 100 and outside the top 100.

15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best altcoin to hold for long term? on: August 31, 2018, 01:16:37 AM
If you’re looking at a coin under .50c you need to take into consideration the current marketcap and supply of the coin. Look for a smaller marketcap and smaller supply as that is what is going to determine price in the long term. Take into consideration the strength of the team, utility of the coin, strength of community and project funding. If all 4 of those things are in place than the coin has potential to succeed. I’m investing in Spectrecoin at the moment for those very reasons. They have a development fund set up where every 6th Block goes to the development of the project. The project also ranks in the top 10 of most successful ICO’s in rate of return.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which cryptocurrency is best to buy today? on: August 30, 2018, 04:18:57 PM
These are my three picks. I have named a top 100 coin, top 200 coin and a small cap coin.

Top 100 coin - ARK
Top 200 coin - Bread
Small cap coin -Spectrecoin
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: when is the right time to buy altcoin on: August 30, 2018, 04:09:48 PM
It’s definitely worth watching the market now for an entry point into some of these altcoins. It’s impossible to know where the bottom will be but I think we’re getting to a nice entry level now. Coins like Ark, Nuls and Spectrecoin seem like great investments at the moment
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best staking coins on: August 30, 2018, 03:20:09 PM
Ark, Nebilo and Spectrecoin are just a few I stake.All 3 coins are solid projects and they offer staking rewards of  about 10% per annum. Spectrecoin at times will increase to about 15% per annum depending on the network weight.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alts that are going to the moon on: August 30, 2018, 11:25:58 AM
 If you really want to make massive profit from a small investment than its best you pick some smaller cap coins that are flying under the radar at the moment. Larger cap coins will obviously make you good profit but it’s the smaller cap coins that could really bring you amazing returns.. My two picks are Bread token and Spectrecoin. Both solid projects.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: John McAfee Says Privacy Coins are the Future....Name your top 3 Small Caps on: August 30, 2018, 11:12:57 AM
Spectrecoin, monero and zcash. By far the best three privacy coins when you’re ranking by tech.
