[ANN]Spectrecoin[XSPEC] TOR+OBFS4, Ring Sig, Stealth!

[Mockingb1rd]

Is anyone having syncing issues with the new Mac wallet, I have noticed a red bar that will pop up in the top right corner, if I hover over the bar it reads something along the lines of wallet out of sync, catching up to current block. I have only noticed it doing this since updating to the new wallet. I have also had 6 of 7 of my last stakes "generated but not accepted stakes". Could this be due to the syncing issue I am having??

Any help is much appreciated

where can i find more information about how to use the wallet?

Sold my XSPEC at $5, but im buying them back when price is under $2.
Wallet is really good compared to other privacy coins and the TOR stuff is great if you are behind some major firewalls =China

What makes you think it will ever drop below 2$ again?

It has weathered the recent BTC dip very well. All the major new "bad" news (regulations, scams, ...) have been out there since a while, so a further massive downward correction is much less likely than an upswing, in particular with the Chinese New Year soon behind us.

Yeah I think this is a good one.

If you want to sell a large volume I'd like to buy a large volume-happy to negotiate a transaction if you're interested. Anyone?

Today I saw the system of "Merit", I investigated and that's why today I decided
to give my points to the people who post in this thread.
So, if you want my points, write here and give me some Merit for this.    

100 merit for 20 xspec ?   

That's a good deal. I can pay for that! 

I only have 62 sendable merit in total.

But I don't know what is the purpose of Merit system.

new wallet 1.3.5 is working very well now thanks to the team and jbg. Expecting very good things and growth in 2018

How do you work out for it?
My Mac wallet always crashed when opening.
That's annoying me...

Just go back to version 1.3.3 or the one that worked well before.
The revision of the software can be simple, but it can also be so complicated that it is not worth spending
so much time in a smaller version, when a larger version will soon be released: 1.4.0 and it may no longer have this incompatibility with MAC. It is my opinion.
Anyway, the devs now work intensely on this problem.

The red bar thing is called syncing, it's a good thing!  

What "generated but not accepted" means, you can look up here: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/crypto-intro-guide/wiki/Proof-of-Stake#why-is-my-stake-conflicted-or-not-accepted

Note that you won't be staking until your wallet is fully synced.

Uhm ... just ask? It should be pretty obvious if you have used any other coin wallet before. If there is anything unclear, just ask. We will have a new wallet somewhere in February anyway, but I'm always happy to help!

Is there a white paper?

[pvk444]

Is there a white paper?

Check out the wiki at https://altcoinwiki.org/en/SpectreCoin

It acts as the current white paper for XSPEC. I believe there are some efforts to produce a more traditional PDF paper as well,  but I can't comment on it's status.

Cool thanks

Looks like this coin compares very favorably against other privacy coins-and I think privacy coins will be a big sector in 2018.

Basically I just need to find liquidity so I can buy more...

Ah no worries then, thanks for the info and link Gandalf86, I've been curious about the difference types of POS so that link has some additional reading for me

[nemwanderer]

I'm developing a position in this coin, how can I contribute to the community? Before you ask my programming skills aren't up to snuff...

How would you guys compare this coin to Onion?

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?

[Nebell]

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.
