Hmmm.  Taking a second look at this one.  Still waiting, watching before I commit a chunk...go big or go away right?

In the 30 sats range it's a winner

I think this coin needs some work on the difficulty re-target. It jumps from somewhere in the 50's and 4 blocks are immediately found then it goes to the 250's for the next four and sits.

I'm thinking maybe a KGW or different block re-target.

What do you guys think?

It sure took awhile to confirm the ones I mined Then I seen the skewed code.I wont be installing this wallet.No more code injection for me.Better safe than sorry.I know you all say false positive but hackers have learned how to utilize this code for their own nefarious purposes.There are plenty of wallets out there that do not give positives at all and even some of these can be risky.I could run sandboxed or on VMware but why bother?Plenty of other safe crypto out there.Everytime I install wallets like these something happens if I dont run on VMware or in sandbox its just not worth it.Anyhoo good luck.

Just checking in to the thread....SPEC still has my interest....waiting to get an accurate gauge on the potential of the project before I commit my wallet....

its just a very basic qt wallet man, why so paranoid lol? the coin is just a small part of this project, much bigger things coming and you think they would put that at risk by releasing infected wallets?? the code is out there on github, review it or have it reviewed and share with us where the nasty stuff is? heck, i'll even put up a bounty of 100k SPEC if anyone can proof that the wallet is infected and/or is injecting malicious code

 

[TomVelvetPaws]

Ok whatever.I ran 3 wallets with this so called "BASIC" code and lost a bunch of my crypto 4 th time I did it just to see and yep happened again I run the same stuff now on vmware and it doesnt happen.I never said that the wallet was infected per se and im not questioning your integrity.you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know that something is askew.Im no programmer or a dev and im new to crypto been in it a little over a year.If im wrong im wrong I don't mind admitting it but something isn't right.I use multi miner by Nate wools because im just lazy but if I don't run it on vmware I get hacked or have been same with all these types of wallets so Im just not taking the risk.Maybe just my system I don't know I know others are out there that know much more about this than me and many run them with no problems.It is a problem I have that will not go away and I have even whiped my entire hard drive same problems.

Edit:There is a possibility I could be completely wrong yes but I don't think so.Trial and error tells me otherwise.If I remember correctly Mr Wools told me himself that bad guys can use certain code to gain access to your system now a days and he would have to rewrite the entire codebase and hes just not going to do that.

yes there are scams and malicious coders in crypto, but at first it seemed like you accused the spec dev's of releasing an infected wallet which i can assure you is not the case. i have absolutely nothing to do with the wallet but im always cautious when installing new wallets and in this case i asked a very paranoid security expert to look at it and he couldnt find anything suspicious. im no expert but to me it seems like there might be a vulnerability in the multi-miner that gets exploited by hackers? and Mr Wools doesnt want to rewrite the code to make it safer? im sure there are some safer methods to mine.

[thoth-Atlantian]

Also At least a few people involved in this coin are easy to locate on certain exchanges, they have more to lose from it being scammy than gain.
though I would love to know how it's coming along, hoping accumulation stage is over for this cycle   

[TomVelvetPaws]

Yea im not attacking the devs integrity not at all.IEC coin I mine pretty much 24/7 the coin is a standard buy which I measure by next to bitcoin.Pollystripe I know to be a standup dude and I trust him but I do not want to install the wallet for that simple reason.Most likely I will eventually because the coin is very important to me I just haven't done it yet.My spec coins still sit at suprnova because im afraid to install the wallet.It very well could be multiminer yep that is causing the problem.I just cant figure out how to get my miners to work by the command line I have tried and tried I just cant get them to work my thunders yes via multiminer  and my s1s are really simple dont need multi miner for those  but the orbs and the  zeus  I cant get my system to see them no matter what I do I have read every single tutorial I can find and I cant get them to work.So I gave one to Hypermist after getting mad and tossing the other 4 out in the yard but that zeus is just to expensive to trash.

hello, new to spec just downloaded wallet last week. is it normal for deposit confirmations to take so long? made a deposit to my wallet about 12 hours ago, shows the amount is confirmed on balance page but when i check the transaction it says its only 1/6 confirmed, is this a known glitch? thanks

[cjmoles]

Any progress lately?....Watching and waiting, just need something to to convince me to pull the trigger on this one!

[thoth-Atlantian]

A good buy at current price, slipping nicely under the radar still

[cohnhead]

thought I saw a post about burning some of the spec money supply ...going on three weeks ago.....was that a real thing or just posted to pump price?

[doothewop]

Im going on vacation Sept 1st to spend some much needed time with the family. Before then we plan to burn 300 million of the premine and release spectra.

Yeah, it was mentioned.  Once.

Apparently they burned 300M coins

[surfguy72]

Thanks guys. We are ready to release a few things.

When the SPEC project was initially created we didnt quite have the usd funding we have at this point. So we created the premine with the intention that it would have to last us a long time. In order to do justice to the spec project we seriously needed that premine to take us where we knew we could go. We were lucky enough to find developers that were willing to accept it.

We still have those devs. The difference is now we can pay them in spec, fiat or btc. So we arent limited to a sole "belief" that spec will do well, even though we ALL have no doubt about it doing well. The key is to utilize every possible means of funding in order to ensure our vision is released.

With that said, its now being said publicly that 300 million will be burned within the next few days.

How was vacation?

typically something like that is posted when its a done deal....also a burn address to confirm....so far haven't seen anything yet...so im not so sure.
