After the recent accomplishments....The Spectrecoin Foundation , it's Team Members and the entire Spectrecoin Community has come together to bring the Stealth Staking [PoAS] message to The Cryptocurrency Investing Network "...... one of the largest and fastest growing community of blockchain and crypto enthusiasts on the internet.”

This is a first for Spectrecoin to engage marketing on this scale and we're all very excited about reaching the network's 2,000,000 members and introducing them to the benefits of Trustless Stealth Staking.

Have you looked at our new website lately?

Yep, it's nice! It's back to the roots, kind of.  Do you have more info about your activities on "The Cryptocurrency Investing Network"? Tbh. I never heard of it before. How do they organize, is it an online community of some sort?

Thanks for keeping us updated on Bitcointalk!

SpectreCoin is the only crypto coin I know of that offers a FULLY ANONYMOUS experience:


BIG NEWS FOR FREEDOM STAKING:


Moreno doesn't work in TOR blocked regions, whereas XSPEC you can stake in TOR blocked regions: Iran, Iraq, China, UAE to name a few. Spectrecoin (XSPEC) is an innovative privacy focused coin... and also circumvents the censorship of countries such as China and Iran...

Bitcoin has just a few thousand less coins than SpectreCoin and it is priced at almost $8,000 while SpectreCoin with superior privacy technology is priced at 50 - 70 cents. HUH  

I think the price of SpectreCoin is bound to move up quite a bit more, don't you?  I mean unless people are really really dumb !!!  Too bad so many are, but because the knowledge about SpectreCoin is getting out, this amazing coin with advanced privacy technology should steadily climb up up up up. Just the stealth staking alone should provide the rocket fuel to move it up up up as millions seeking freedom across China, Iraq, Iran, and the UAE to name a few start stealth staking this amazing coin.


==========

In a newsletter, Mandica ( Lead Developer ) explains how best to think about the project:

“The best way to understand Spectre today is to think of bitcoin + Proof-of-Stake.v3 + anonymous transactions (using similar technology to monero) + Tor to hide your IP.”

Spectre has already built Tor into its systems and even went further, implementing Tor product, “OBSF4,” which allows users to skirt national firewalls, such as those in China and Iran.

Xspec uses ring signatures as their privacy protocol with much more added in the past couple of months. They also have stealth staking. So if you are worried about an enemy of your freedom that could be spying on your staking activities, then check out SpectreCoin.

===========

I am not showing you this article (below) on Dark Web News to give you the idea that SpectreCoin is being used for anything illegal, but only to show you how private SpectreCoin truly is.  Remember, freedom needs privacy, and privacy is for those who love liberty. Criminals use cash and do you hate cash because criminals use it?  Of course not. So you should love SpectreCoin for all the right reasons if you truly love privacy and freedom.  Go SpectreCoin !!!

Spectrecoin will be heavily promoted in the entire network.

@GlobalProtection - You make point after point ....all valid!
There is simply NO REASON for Spectrecoin's value to be 0.01% of Bitcoin's current value.
The project is taking this to the streets!

I hope your network is reaching out to people in these countries and territories:  Algeria, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Syria, USA (Yes, sad but true: United States Of America), Vietnam, China, Crimea, Sudan, Malaysia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Island, and the US Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas), and Bangladesh.


These above countries and territories have been "crypto oppressed" in the past, and SpectreCoin may be one of the "secret agents" to help change things for the better in these
sometimes oppressed places. So please do everything in your power to reach the people in these countries and territories with the message of Spectrecoin.


Also, I am calling on all SpectreCoinians to go onto country specific ( see countries above ) blogs and forums to get the message out about SpectreCoin to the citizens of these countries. THANK YOU.

In "Wallet > Send > Balance Transfer" I want to move coins from private to public. But if sending the payment I get the answer

Error: Invalid Stealth Address. SPECTRE to XSPEC conversion requires a stealth address.

I do not use the default addresses, I use new created ones. Converting XSPEC (public) to SPECTRE (private) ran as expected. I can transfer private SPECTRE to the "Default Stealth Address" in "Balance Transfer", and the coins appear in the public XSPEC coin list. I do not understand this behaviour.

When you transfer SPECTRE to XSPEC it generates a new, unused public address out of your default stealth address.

Generally, some kind of confusion.
I also have a similar problem.
I made it the same way as you, the coins went, but they are nowhere to be found. Private balance is empty.
Developers need to pay special attention to this moment.
And you need marketing, without marketing and entering new exchanges, the price will not grow.

so soon we should see a rise ?

WOW, that really puts things into perspective......  .01% of Bitcoin's value..... Unbelievable!!!

Thanks a million for this insight.

Unless you are a trader, who trades quickly in and out of a coin, I would not worry about the immediate price.  For me, this is a buy and hold for quite a while.

[GlobalProtection]

I want everyone to be aware of the fact that there is someone who comes onto this forum thread and complains about SpectreCoin, but the advertising all over his post shows you that he probably is doing this to advertise the privacy coin he may be trying to pump. The complaints he gives I believe are not based on reality because no one else has the problems he complains about, or he is an extreme newbie who does not understand how to work his wallet or something similar. So be aware of this. I would not be posting this warning if such apparently unfounded complaining only happened one time.

If it's not a technical bug, at least it seems to be a usability problem. Someone should report this to the devs on Discord, or alternatively you can go here (https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/issues) and file a bug report yourself, so that at least it will not be forgotten. Maybe one of the devs will get in contact with you and ask for additional info.  

Thanks for the list @Beachguy2!

I have tried SPECTRE->XSPEC conversion recently with no issues.Everything shows up just fine. On the coin control feature you'll see that a xspec address has created derived from the Spectre address. To see this you have to go to Send -> Coin Control(button on the top right) -> click select inputs. In this window click on the "+" next to your stealth address and you get this xspec address(es).

[Riboflavv]

I have done many conversions, everything is working perfectly fine. Sometimes people just get confused because for the conversion you have to enter a Stealth address (not a normal one) even for SPECTRE -> XSPEC

Spectrecoin 3.0.10 has been released and is now available on [Github](https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/releases)

This release fixes the Tor shutdown issue on Linux (https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/issues/173) and the ‚Fake stake block spam attack vector‘ widely known since its publication on Medium: https://medium.com/@dsl_uiuc/fake-stake-attacks-on-chain-based-proof-of-stake-cryptocurrencies-b8b05723f806

The article presented two vulnerabilities:
- Vulnerability #1: “I Can’t Believe it’s not Stake”
- Vulnerability #2 and the Spent Stake attack

Spectrecoin was never vulnerable to #1 and fixes now #2 with the following measures:
- Upon receiving a block before persisting to disc, it is checked that the UTXO or ATXO staked is not spent in the best chain.
- If the block received is part of a fork, all inputs of the forked chain are checked if they spent the staked UTXO or ATXO.

What is crucial for understanding the mechanics is that Spectrecoin since its inception accepts only staking inputs available in the best chain, this means a forked chain can never depend on inputs which have been created during the fork.

Nice! Thanks to the development team for taking care of this issue!

The solution for the financial oppression that people living in India are under, is none other than SpectreCoin.


I want an army of SpectreCoinians marching forth to every India blog and forum and announce the freedom that SpectreCoin can give them.
