I guess you just export your private key from current wallet and import it to the new Wisp wallet. Then you will see your balance already , after the client loads blockchain.

If i have my XSpec in my Wallet, how can i receive the new coins in the new upcoming Wisp Wallet ?

I think the wallet should the same, just with the different UI. So you can see your coins with your old XSPEC wallet.dat file.

Thanks for your answers guys.
Next week there will be an official announcement i think

I am surprised by the status of XSPEC. After a lot of true negative reports, now the dev team decide to fork the coin. That makes "official" undefined. Which one is official one?

[X4s]

They're going to kill xspec with the launch of wisp, that's what I think.

[arjuna BTC]

Ok, finally, the dev team split!
For what?
Obviously, @mandica & @jbg both want to get the control of the coin and the fund.
Good luck to both.

this is unpredictable situations on Spectrecoin
because, if i'm not wrong on january 2018, this coin already hit ATH then down until now,,

None of the coins has to die. The foundation is sound. Wisp will take it in a different direction than XSPEC. That's all.

Amnvex : It's 5% from the 5% of regular stake you are getting when you have staking enabled. So in result it is 0.25%

That's still a lot. What about the 9 million being staked? That 5% ends up being 180k. You think that's a little? The fact that you can't decide how much you want to donate makes this coin go against what it originally stood for. What's the difference between that and premine?

How did you end up with 180k (for what period)?

Not saying I'm eager fan of mandatory donations, but I understand they need fund just now and I hope (maybe foolishly) that after hard times pass it will be changed back.
I personally set staking donation to 50% because I'm not interested so much in 5% but in XSPEC success. If you like to have 5%, then invest in dividend stocks.
I agree that Mandica should have added promise of reverting it in the future and I was also expecting some really promising news not only this one as most important thing of entire update message. Nevertheless we all want Spectrecoint to succeed, aren't we?
I was not afraid about XSPEC before, despite all those troubles, but now I'm beginning to worry about it. Let's try to find compromises instead of fighting. It includes everybody, even Mandica and jbg.

Hmm, I think I used a lower number than 9 million (it was more like 3.6m, because I misread my numbers based on what I had in my own wallet and then multiplied that number by a few thousand, lol--silly mistake).

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't like forced contribution, period. If this coin were worth more, I'd consider contributing more. But since it is not worth much, I'm contributing less. It's the ethics of it. I respect the developer, but if it's open source, then anyone should be able to work on it and make the project move forward regardless if the lead dev is around or not. This coin has more or less been dead, though. I believe in the underlying tech, however, that's why I stake and that's why I chose to invest.

At the end of the day, my only argument is forced contribution. Regardless of where XSPEC goes, that and how the top is being run are my only two complaints. BTW, if the dev really wanted to get the coin listed, we all could have agreed to put our contributions to 50% or so to the project for a few weeks so that it can happen. But there isn't much community engagement, and the fact that no one is warding off "scam coin" posts just says how little attention is being given to the project. And remember: the more a project is worked on--generally--and the more people want to be part of something like this, the higher the price. The fact that the coin languished from $5-6 to a paltry 50c says that people aren't putting their trust into it anymore. That's obviously very, very bad for the project.

For a legitimate project, there should be no FUD. Trust is built on productivity, not on forced contributions. Think about it alternatively: I ask you to pay me for me to deliver something. You don't know me, you don't know about what I can and cannot do. I don't think many would take such a leap of faith. I'm also risk-averse, in general. That's, again, not to say that this is not a legitimate project. It's the execution, though, that is to be questioned here. Execution...

It should be noted that the only person with any technical ability associated with this team has left to create wisp. So till a new dev i acquired, this coin currently has no developer.

And yet we want an increase in contributions. Sounds like the ship is sinking :\

Tell me that I'm wrong? No FUD meant. Honest question. This whole fork could have been avoided. There's definitely a leadership problem.

On a side note: remember which one is the fork--the new XSPEC, not the current continuation of XSPEC that gets renamed to WISP.

[TaylorCZ]

Amnvex: you are forgetting that virtually EVERY coin plummeted to fraction of ATH after christmas-new year bubble burst.

I think the wallet should the same, just with the different UI. So you can see your coins with your old XSPEC wallet.dat file.

With a basic fork all previous coins and tx appear in the new wallet automatically up to the blockchain fork height.

Also, this is why it's virtually impossible to hire an elite coin Dev...
Because 99% of elite coins Devs are working on their own project... or plan to ASAP.

WISP is actually a great name for an anon coin...
With "wisp of smoke" the most common English usage and kind of a short form for "whisper"...
So the dude has been planning to fork for a while... are the WISP t-shirts and coffee mugs ready?

[stonesourcery]

SpectreCoin will be going through changes as a result of the earlier announcement by Project Manager Mandica
This statement was released today .

IMPORTANT UPDATE

That means that if you do not update to the new version of XSPEC you will NOT be able to
deposit or withdraw XSPEC from the exchanges after the changes have been implemented.

@jbg will continue to develop under the ticker WISP and as the network splits everyone will get an
equal share of XSPEC and the new WISP. So, if you hold 1 XSPEC before the network split youwill have 1 WISP as well after. So, if you own XSPEC you will also own WISP.

I have a question about the HardFork as the network splits and  everyone will get an
equal share of XSPEC and the new WISP
Question: If I hold XSPEC coins on an exchange- will the WISP be created/ credited to my account on the exchange?

that is being discussed with cryptopia atm, but you will be safe, if you store them in your walltet.

but you needn't be worried, as there will be announcements on discord (probably also on reddit, twitter and, of course, here) in time.

[Amnvex]

Amnvex: you are forgetting that virtually EVERY coin plummeted to fraction of ATH after christmas-new year bubble burst.

I'm aware of that. I was *only* making a point of where, partially, value for a coin may come from.

[Beachguy]

......So the dude has been planning to fork for a while... are the WISP t-shirts and coffee mugs ready?

if you're thinking the "dude" was jbg....then you would be wrong.
Actually, several of the guys in the xspec community had been planning this when they were worried @jbg was gone and bryce didn't exist.
They were even already planning to hire another dev.
But since they now think a fork is going to happen they're all licking their chops.
Life in the crypto world I guess....

So amazing the story!
Let's gamble which one will survive. XSPEC or WISP?

My bet is on "both" ... the foundation is solid and a good platform from which to implement various cryptographic, technical feature, and business enhancements.

I'm experiencing huge losses in XSPEC thanks to all this.
