XSPEC: Pump and dump or overambitious fanboys?

[Fci_2]

I can´t stand the XSPEC spam in this section any more but at the same time, I`m wondering how it´s seen by rest of the community.

On the one hand there are a few guys who frequently post/spam the same stuff about the Spectre Coin each time anybody asks for some advice. I give you some example, just convince yourself:

vovannovig2
srqrebel
RKh
Discounted
... (plus a lot of newbies/sockpuppets)

On the other hand the project seems to be quite interesting and I already investes a small amout of money into it. I´d be thankful if anybody could give an estimation to XSPEC - besides the named ones, they are already on my ignore list.

I´m sorry about my broken english, giving my best

Some are passionate about coins they support.   I take all advise with a grain of salt.

In this case I bought some.  Small amount but enough qty because it is relatively cheap for now.  I think it is a good coin being held back only by the low traffic exchange.  Many good coins failed or did not grow as they should because of small/wrong exchanges.

I agree. While the project does seem to have potential and I'm holding XSPEC, the spam is a major turn off. Maybe its their way of marketing but it makes it appear borderline "scammy" which imo is bad for what could be a decent alt.

You are right that the community is very enthusiastic. It is, however certainly not pump. Even at the current price of USD 3, the room to grow is big:

Looking at the overall market for privacy coins, which is about 19bn (including the main coins only, without any derivatives), XSPEC has a market share of about 0.3% currently.

Monero, the coin most compared to XSPEC (while XMR being perhaps even technically inferior to XSPEC), has a market share of 30%.

So here is a little table, which shows the price development as a function of the market share (assuming overall market stays the same)

Market Share	Price
1%	9.25
3%	28.33
6%	58.46
10%	101.77

Everyone can make there own assumptions about what market share XSPEC can get.

Their marketing sucks (is non-existent, and all community driven), but the technical specs are superior and forward looking.  Thus, for me, 6% - 10% market share in 2018 does not sound unreasonable. If they manage to improve the messaging, they could even displace some of the big names, IMHO.
