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

[Brit_coin]

Guys I absolutely love the coin, community and passion you have, however can't help but think you're standing still whilst other standard coins are moving ahead of you.
I've invested a lot in your coin but literally can't find any promo on the web for XSPEC apart from the odd persons YouTube video with 50 views.
There's a lot of talk about 2018 being the year of  XSPEC but can't see what your plans are apart from a new wallet.
I'll literally happily lose the $1500 I've invested over selling and then  finding out it's hit the moon. I just can't see other people thinking that way.

I'm new to investing in cryptocurrency but have been doing a lot of research recently. I definitely see a lot of potential in this coin due to:

1) Growing community which has shown great participation
2) Dedicated development team which has kept the community informed
3) Low market cap
4) Great concept in a market that's sure to rise (privacy coins)

The biggest thing that appears to be holding it back is it's marketing. But that takes time and shouldn't be rushed before the product itself is in good shape.

This coin has a ways to go, but I could see it rising very high in the coming years.

There is a bounty program very easy to win, if you have a Twitter account that is authentic,
(the account can not be created just for this, you must have more than 24 followers).
Search on Twitter: Leo Bitman, 1º follow to know about SpectreCoin, 2º ReTw for others to know,
and 3º you send a public address, (the ones start with the uppercase letter: "S")
and that is all, I will send you a "Free Sample of 10.00 XSPEC".
You can receive your 10 XSPEC, approximately in 2/4 days.

Hi! I just installed the desktop wallet and have 2 questions.

1. Why is there a default wallet when first installing the wallet (winx64)? This seems unsafe from a security standpoint. Wouldn't it be better to have the user create their own wallet themselves instead of listing a default wallet? I already created a new wallet from the GUI but thinking about those who are new to crypto.

2. I have a stealth address and a "regular" address. Does this mean XSPEC has optional privacy? Is this going to change in the future?

3. Were is the blockchain stored on my computer when I sync my wallet?

PS: If there's a wiki that goes over all this I'd be happy to read, but I couldn't find answers to these questions. Thanks

Right now is still a great time to jump onboard. Price is reasonable with massive potential upside. Development is active, community is growing and so on..

Is there any nodes that i can manully add to wallet? My wallet does not find any sources.

My wallet has been syncing for 5 hours yet my data folder is still 15 mb. It doesn't seem to be downloading the blockchain. The network history in the debug logs show no traffic. I have added the wallet executive to the Windows firewall and it says it's connected to Tor. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

EDIT: Followed this guide and its now syncing fine: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/spectre/wiki/FAQ#7-i-have-zero-connections

If your wallet says "Zero connections", check this out: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/spectre/wiki/FAQ#7-i-have-zero-connections

The above issue should be fixed in the next (1.3.4) wallet release.

Hello there, I am completely new to cryptocurrencies and Spectrecoin, therefore I would be extremely thankful if anyone can link me some useful information of how Spectrecoin basically works.

Is trading BTC to XSPEC the only way to get a Spectrecoin ? If not, what other ways are there ?
Also, how does the sale of this coin work like ? Is it possible to convert it to any value like USD/ Euro or I would need to place a sell order and wait untill some buyer buys my coin .. ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Buying and selling XSPEC works the same as for any other 'alternative', i.e., non-Bitcoin, cryptocurrency. You need to convert your fiat currency of choice (USD/Euro etc.) into BTC on an exchange. Which one you choose will usually depend on your country of residence, and you'll find lots of opinions online about which ones are best. You may need to verify your account with ID. Once it's set up and you have money on the exchange, you will make an order for X BTC at Y price per unit. You can either pay the current asking price, in which case your order will be filled more or less immediately, or you can place a buy order at a lower price in the hopes that the price will come down. In the latter case, your order will remain open until it is filled, which could be in an hour, a day, a month, or never.

Once you have BTC, you will need to use that to buy XSPEC. Because XSPEC is only listed on small exchanges, this means that you will need to make an account with an exchange that trades XSPEC and send your BTC there. For XSPEC, your best bet is Cryptopia (there is also Bisq, but that is arguably more challenging for a newbie: https://bisq.network/ I will assume you go with a 'normal' exchange, but obviously up to you.). Once you have an account, you'll need to find the deposit address for BTC, and send BTC to it. Once you have BTC in your Cryptopia account, you will place an order for X XSPEC at Y price in BTC per unit, again with the same basic parameters as for the previous example. As an aside, note that there will be fees for every step in this process: the actual trades, and also the act of transferring from one place to another. Make sure you factor this into your math.

So now you have XSPEC. The next step is to download and install the wallet on a secure computer in your possession, and wait for it to sync (you will likely need to add nodes manually to get it to sync (https://github.com/bitcoinx2/spectre/wiki/FAQ#7-i-have-zero-connections)). This will take a few hours. Once it's synced, send your XSPEC from the exchange to the address of your new wallet. Send e.g. 0.1 XSPEC as a test first, and once you have confirmed that it's working, send the rest.

After that, you'll want to encrypt your wallet with a secure password, and consider leaving it running 24/7 to stake a receive occasional 'interest' (the cost-benefit ratio of doing this will depend on how many XSPEC you have. If you have free electricity then it doesn't matter; otherwise, you'd want probably north of 500 XSPEC for it to begin to be worthwhile). That's it.

Can I withdraw XSPEX from cryptopia balance to desktop wallet? (1.3.3)
Some users of cryptopia is saying that XSPEX not arrived.
anyone know this issue?

I just withdrew to my wallet from cryptopia and it worked flawlessly. Can you send to the stealth address from cryptopia as well? Is there any reason ever not to always only use the stealth address? Is the stealth address and default address essentially like two wallets, in that they each hold balances?
