Hi, I'm a newbie but well researched. I downloaded Spectre ( which I plan on investing in heavily) but the wallet won't synch after 12 hrs of running. I shut down my mac overnight and opened up the app and its still trying to sync... 3 days of this and I'm at wits end. Console says that proxie connection failed over and over. How do i fix this or is it a computer problem. I run os 9.5 on a Mac Pro. I've searched for help everywhere but everything is about bit coin. Anyone help with this??

Xspec had really flew over time. The last time I checked it it was just $0.04. Congrats to the team. Great to have kept few still in my cryptopia wallet.
Silly thing I did was dumped the rest of mine for NEM.

I'm going to make a couple of designs. How long will this competition last?
Thanks!

Spectrecoin will be on bittrex in the not too distant future.

Still a long way to go though to ensure that we deliver a secure, private, scalable and untraceable coin. So let's continue to make strong progress with our development work.

A good news and a bright future.

The cap of XSPEC will be over that of Blackcoin in the near future.

I have to say that a round or square / rectangular design is preferable as it's cheaper to make.

Awesome, I've got a couple of friends who are graphic designers and they already made a couple of sticker designs.
I will post the results here!

and btw would be awesome if i could get a batch when they're finished.
I live in vienna and I will stick them all over the city haha

[spoonyg]

I would like to get a batch of them too.

Hi

I am interested in this coin, I see a potential in anonymous and fast transactions, and when I hear TOR it brings my attention. So I Would like to ask you couple of questions I did not find answers yet, or dont completely understand.

1. If this coin is implemented into TOR network and is using benefits of TOR network, doesnt it kill its scalability ? TOR isnt the fastest option for browsing, so how it is going to be with SPECTRE and number of potential transfers per second. I think this question is very important, if you are looking for mass adoption and real world usage.

2. Does SPECTRE support brainwallet ? ( accessing wallet, and doing transactions just with your passphrase )
3. Does it support multi signature like NEM ?
4. Does Spectre have a whitepaper ?
5. What are spectres advantages over other anonymous Currencies ?
6. Is Spectres main goal to create mobile app for mass adoption where you can pay with XSPECs securely anonymously and quickly ?

Thx for reply

How XSPEC is different from others like Dash , Zcash and BCN ??

Sure I'll try to answer it for you.

1. No it doesn't kill scalability or harm security. All Spectre nodes are running as hidden services, no outbound gateways are used. The performance is reduced by a fixed constant (that is more or less proportional to the number of hops in the Tor network), but that doesn't change the asymptotic properties.

2. I don't know what brainwallet is, but you need at least your private keys to make a transactions. Address generation is not deterministic.

3. I don't know, maybe someone else can answer?

4. Not yet.

5. See 6.) I'm sure there are some further distinctive features, like running on the Tor network for example.

6. Yes.

Hi everyone, i picked up some xspec a while ago and have been staking it, seems like a good coin. I read thru about 1/3 of this thread but still have a few questions. Can someone explain how the staking works? For example, how long are coins unusable after a successful stake? Why does it not use all coins for each stake? After i get a block it says about 1/3 of my coins are staking, and my staking weight is the other 2/3. If this is already explained elsewhere I'd appreciate a link, thanks.

Has anyone been successful in compiling the source code on linux, either with or without QT?  I get errors about event2/util.h in Tor.

if you're on ubuntu you need to

Code:

brain wallet being pretty much a paper wallet generator using a passphrase.

ie, you remember your passphrase and yr key is in yr brainwallet

i see no mention of paperwallet in thread.

From OP roadmap:

Tor & Tor obfuscation upgrades

We will integrate the latest version of Tor that includes ‘obfs4 - The obfourscator’ that is a look-like nothing obfuscation protocol. This means that the whole of the Spectre network will under Tor ONLY and all the nodes will connect through a .onion address. In addition, the obsf4 protocol means that the Tor traffic itself it hidden from the ISP and so Spectre will not be blocked in China, Iran and other countries that aims to block Tor use. https://github.com/Yawning/obfs4

Time estimate: 3-6 weeks

What's going on about this feature now?  Is it close to be reality?

anyone having problem syncing there  wallet.No matter how long i leave the wallet open it not syncing it just getting worse .Anyone else having a issue
