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

[LuckySpectrecoin]

   Jbg was supposed to make the update 1.4 back in November 2017, but it did not. Then he transferred the release date to 1.12.17. Then the end of December, then another month and so on. Then on the first of March. Now the date is not known at all.
  The Wisp project leader vvc said that wisp release is expected on May 1, 2018 and update 1.4 will be after several months after the release of wisp. I also talked with him and before he headed the project he was not even sure if there was an update 1.4, he also said that stealth staking exists only in theory, there is only white paper, which in practice no one even checked. And no one saw this white paper. Or maybe the calculations in this paper are not true? Who knows? Bryce has been working on stealth staking for more than 6 months and for the time he only wrote a few pages of paper that he did not show to anyone and did not check in practice.
   Also in early March, Jbg promised a release of stealth staking in the wisp project in Q2. And now, after one month, we are told that it is generally unknown when there will be a release of stealth staking, at least it will not be done Q2 or even Q3. I bought xspec, thinking that the release of wallet 1.4 would be 1.12.18, but this did not happen and as a result, the developer altogether left the project and again deceives us with the release date.
   I believed him earlier, but now I think he's a fraud. No one kicked him out of the Spectrecoin project, he was only asked to release wallet 1.4, but he refused and said that the work is not ready and then asked to give us what has already been done and another developer will help finish the wallet together. But Jbg did not show anything and left the project.
   Do not you think Gandalf that he could show wallet to another developer who could help speed up the release of the wallet?
 After all, spectrecoin is an open and decentralized project. Gandalf do not you think that stealth staking formulas in white paper can be mistaken?
   Work six months with this and never check in practice Gandalf do you think this is a good developer?
  How could he promise the release date of Q2, even if he did not check the correctness of the formulas and code. I believe that Jbg must return the money, because he did not show anything, he just talks, he does not make a road map and he ruined the reputation of the project and because of him we have nothing now.
   he even wisp will release (if there will be release) without updating 1.4, although in March he said that the work is almost complete))

The developer of Wisp worked with the xspec project, he was paid money, but he did not do the work and the money did not return to the community. Now he created another project, but since his reputation is spoiled, he appointed another person to be a leader. But their project now is a theory, it does not exist. They do not even have topics on the forum BCT.

Are you then ranting about a project that does not exist? You contradict yourself quite a bit here. Also, I have not seen any laws saying that unless a crypto project is on BCT it cannot exist.

[mandica]

What worries me in this context as the manager of XSPEC is that the WISP team have promised all XSPEC holders 1:1 coins, so 1 XSPEC will get you 1 WISP, but as the fork date (01/05) is only 2 weeks away only a few XSPEC holders are aware. As far as I can tell only the people on the WISP Discord know about this. So the worry is that, come fork day, only a few XSPEC holders will be "made whole" as was the promise of the WISP team.

XSPEC is progressing well and look out for a newsletter tomorrow. We have new devs and we are working on a new roadmap.

I meant that the wisp project exists only in words and in fact it is wisp coins  do not exist now.
and why should we talk about the wisp project here? Create a separate topic  BCT and continue to deceive people. Here we have an xspec project.

[namethathasntbeentaken]

could someone explain to me what's all this fork thing that's being brought to the table by xspec dev?
is xspec expected to lose or gain value upon the fork and also, will us xspec holders gain something from it?

[coinwizard_]

There will be a fork so anyone holding xspec in their wallet will receive an equal amount of wisp coins. TBH i don't think it is even worth bothering about, we can tell wisp is just a shitcoin with no development or future ahead. Doubt it will even get listed on any exchange

[LuckySpectrecoin]

Spectrecoin has nothing to do with this fork. This makes the former developer xspec, who received the money and did nothing, which he promised and did not return the money. Spectrecoin is not responsible for his activities now.
He promises that all xspec holders will get 1:1 wisp. But his promises can not be trusted. This fact is verified by time.

Time will tell, the "snapshot" (1st of May) isn't far away. Let's focus on the great progress XSPEC does during the couple of days and will do within the next months, that is what we have to communicate here to get more people into this fantastic project!!

Don't worry about any fork and any potential unfairness of ANOTHER project. What you xspec dev team should do is to push the development of XSPEC back to the right way.

The price of XSPEC has decreased to only 1/10 peak price. That always happen in the cryptoworld. But I still have a faith on XSPEC.

15th April 2018 - First XSPEC bi-weekly newsletter:

https://news.spectreproject.io/?p=9

The 'new' or 'reformed' XSPEC Core Team aim to publish a bi-weekly newsletter so it will be clear what we are working on and where we are in that process.

Nice price rise! Looks awesome! Volume is also up over 100k !
20$+ possible within this hype/spring?

[LilBoby]

How would you guys compare this coin to Onion?

[BtcVolcano]

Nice price rise! Looks awesome! Volume is also up over 100k !

Everything is possible and will be in the future. In general, the entire market is experiencing growth, not counting the coins completely dead. And yes, of course the prospects for growth in this large coin. I'll have to watch later.

You should read more about the recent big change on this coin. This coin was once on the peak of > 40000 satoshi, but now it is only 1/7 of that.
The dev team had changed.
It is hard to say it is bad or not.
As the previous dev was accused to be unable to develop this project.

Keep up the great work! I'm just re-building 1.3.8 in Ubuntu to provide bug reports for onion hostname error, will try some different ports and proxies in case there it provides any useful data. I'll add docs in github as didn't get any response in the Discord.

If I understand correctly, the XSPEC will split into two coins: the new XSPEC and the WISP.
This is the new XSPEC thread. Where is the WISP thread then?

Can we own both or is there only one option? What is the technical difference between the two and do I have to manually claim WISP?

We can not compare these two coins, since the Wisp coin does not exist.
It is only planning to release in the future.
But the date is unknown to us.

Ok but there is probably given information about it somewhere or what is the point of announcing it and creating some excitement?

Did the developer of Wisp get the money upfront? If yes, why? That's irresponsible and there should have been security measures in place. If the guy is known can't he be sued for running off?

Hey I like the Wiki with links to both projects....seems a step in the direction of 'let bygones be bygones' stop whingeing and get on with whatever it is that we all value ... in this case (y)our favourite coin

time for positive inputs and team building

Interesting, which Wiki are you referring to? Can you give a link?

You guys are still mixing things up here ... jbg did not run away, he's still here and is continuing his work under the brand of Wisp. First Mandica paid jbg as a contractor, then later he was donated money by the community so he could continue working on it, which he did. Some people, including Mandica when she came back in February, didn't like the apparently slow progress (which is not the entire truth since many things have been improved under the hood by jbg), so she kicked him out. The community of people who are still supporting jbg are now continuing to work on Wisp, which will be a fork of Spectrecoin.

Btw. the previously announced fork date May 1st will probably not happen as this date was rushed without taking into account all things that need to be taken care of. A new date will be announced in time.

It is a good clarification.
Not only Mandica, but also a lot of investors didn't like the progress of the development by jbg. In my opinion, jbg is more like a community manager than a code developer.
Which side are you in?

Yes I understand, but quite some work has happened under the hood, and the release notes have been very clear about this. Many people who complained just don't understand programming, or the work effort required for these tasks. On the other hand, not making the work in progress of refactoring the GUI public has been a mistake on jbg's side. And he is clearly not a community manager, haha.    He's a developer and has always delivered high quality results so far.

I personally don't see jbg being guilty of anything and I don't like the way the project is managed under Mandica, so I'm mainly supporting the Wisp fork. But I'm also available to help people or give general advice on the Spectrecoin Discord (just @mention me if necessary).
