The Spectrecoin network just underwent a successful hard-fork for the purpose of funding long term development. The first Spectrecoin v4 block was block #1288352 ( https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/block.dws?1288352.htm) and only v4 wallets will now be able to connect and stake. If you are still using a v3 wallet you must upgrade ASAP and do not conduct any transactions from a v3 wallet as you may loose coins. All the exchanges have now upgraded their wallets to v4. |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Not visible team work in terms of marketing! Yes I think it would be important to establish the legitimacy of the blockchain by getting real users on board. The technology is all good, the increase of the coin supply lead to a significant price decrease, this was expected. But what gives a blockchain its value is not the technology or the dedication of the team behind it, but the size of the group of people that believes in the consensus encoded by the blockchain. Only by giving real users a real advantage from using this coin and establishing legitimacy we can increase the value of the blockchain, which ensures ongoing development. |

Not visible team work in terms of marketing! So what?!    I'm not personally interested in people putting a shingle out motivated primarily by their vanity or those who take solace in arguments-by-authority (by wanting to stand behind someone who goes by the same name as their mother knows them as). The technology is all-important; whether it's a pseudonym or a verified person... in the long-run, not so much. Example A: Satoshi Nakomoto Example B: Various anonymous contributors at phrack.org Example C: Various anonymous contributors to https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ / https://nostarch.com/gtfo / https://nostarch.com/gtfo2Example D: Various anonymous contributors to ___ [anything selling the steak and not the sizzle] If I misunderstood and you're griping about there not being a rampant and all-encompassingly pervasive social media campaign see the above [social media is a hook for the NSA and other oppressing/statist (or otherwise malignant) classes of persons to data-mine themselves into emotionally-driven peoples' affairs if you haven't figured that out yet]. |

One thing that Spectrecoin has going for it is that it has kept up with the evolution of OpenSSL ( https://www.openssl.org/) . I've noticed that some alts -- which haven't done their homework and are floating along with old BTC-code -- are underpinned by obsolete OpenSSL versions and one has to actively dumb-down their system to get the alt to compile in more modern variants of Linuxes and BSDs (Unix-based systems). The fact that Spectrecoin has devs that seem to be on-task (or at least hanging in the wings to be brought in if necessary) contributes to long-term viability. |

Marketing is needed so that as many people as possible learn about this cryptocurrency and its advantages, otherwise oblivion awaits. |

Marketing is needed so that as many people as possible learn about this cryptocurrency and its advantages, otherwise oblivion awaits.
Oblivion is an evocative word-choice but 'toiling in obscurity with little recompense' is perhaps a more accurate projection of negative-outcome. Just parsing terms here... if "oblivion" is meant as a low price per XSPEC/SPECTRE unit; that's a supply-and-demand issue at root. Specifically, those who have held this coin are selling it (for whatever reasons) in greater proportion than those buying it. Perhaps some of them are devs or whales that need to pay some bills, perhaps it's because the BTC chart doesn't look great technically (and BTC's a bellwether for cryptocurrencies generally [ https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage] ). As an accumulator persistently/stubbornly trying to coax some action onto the Bisq platform (oh look... there's another willing-to-buy XSPEC offer at more than 60% higher price than anything being traded on Livecoin  ), I don't mind the lower price. BTW, the links at the bottom of the October 2019 newsletter listed a handful of honeypot centralized-exchanges (anyone remember that Cryptopia fiasco?) but neglected to include a link here: https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=xspec_btc . If "oblivion" is meant in the sense of a "dead coin" (no-one staking, no exchanges, no devs, the users gnash their teeth but don't have the technical skills to do anything substantive or aren't "social media influencers") I think that's really unlikely. Most coins have their bandwagons, the people that have invested time and money supporting it. In the case of privacy-coins it would be a tough sell to dislodge say people involved in promoting PIVX, or Monero, or Verge, Zcoin, Bulwark, etc. Should the marketing be tailored to people already interested and historically-invested in other cryptocurrencies or should it be directed at those who haven't yet touched a single cryptocurrency (maybe heard about BTC from time-to-time)? If XSPEC is delisted from centralized exchanges, as happening to other privacy tokens, where do you think its highest trading volume will be?
Bisq, if it's not dropped for lack of trading volume [see: https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/list-asset.html under the heading 'Inactive assets will be de-listed']. But maybe the centralized exchanges in the long-run that will permit listing of privacy coins (helping to keep freedom alive and the statist panopticon at bay) will be in non-OECD countries only ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OECD ). Good luck with that. Alas that this project went by the boards (when the price of Ether dropped precipitously) : https://www.cointrust.com/news/varyon-token-funding-autonomous-crypto-nation-project-goes-on-salehttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=varyon+seastead&t=canonical&ia=web Currently, I think the Horizen people are the only crypto currently filling some of the breach with the Seasteading people. |

Yeah some whale is massively cashing out right now. If you look at the trades on Livecoin, it's not a steady selling pressure, they're always eating the entire set of buy walls at once. And if you're looking at the selling side of the order book, you can see some patterns there as well. That's a single person, he/she is not going to be able to keep doing this forever.  On the long term this is good because it evens out the coin distribution. The more people hold coins, the better because it strengthens the consensus. Btw. the Bitcoin chart doesn't look so bad IMO because it's still aligned with the exponential wave pattern that we've been witnessing during the previous halving periods. But that's a bit off-topic here I guess. |

I have a mysterious behavior with a new wallet. After unlocking my wallet for staking, the message above the lock image tells me "wallet is encrypted and unlocked for staking only", but the dollar image to the right tells me "not staking because wallet ist locked". What's going wrong here? I get no stakes.
Working with wallet version 4.1.0.5 on ubuntu linux 18.04.3 LTS.

The best thing to do is to go to the support channel on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/ckkrb8m there is normally always someone there to help out. You will not get support here as this is for information only. All the discussion has also moved to Discord. |

Very exciting developments! I would like to congratulate the XSPEC team for their ongoing efforts and very good ideas. The decision to rebrand is totally correct and will help to get the required attention at exactly the right phase of the project. The "payment proof" is an ingenious idea and will (among other benefits) make it possible to trade SPECTRE anonymously via Bisq. I don't know a good alternative name yet, but will try to think of something. The biggest difficulty is that basically every ticker (with 3-4 characters) that is or represents an English word already seems to be taken. xD Just a small remark, in the newsletter there is a link to https://twitter.com/SpectreCash at the bottom, which does not seem to exist any more. |

Panda-bot commands are not bound to one certain Discord Server, but can be accessed from within Discord generally. Try messaging the bot "panda-bot #7538" or join the Panda Discord via https://discord.gg/Hs57Jg4 . All deposit, withdraw,.. etc. commands will work with both variants. |

The Spectrecoin Foundation and the core team are always looking for ways to improve the software, the user experience and our relationship to the community. We have decided to conduct a survey around your experiences with Spectrecoin and get your input around what we could improve and what you like. This is a chance for anyone to be heard and have an impact on what we do and how we shape the future of Spectrecoin. We will NOT ask for any personal or identifying information and the survey is 100% anonymous. We will not collect IPs or any other identifying information. We have listed our e-mail address should you wish to contact us, we will not ask for any contact information. We would also be happy if anyone has any feedback on the survey itself! Just speak to us. If we get some interest around this we could use this method to engage the community around development issues. Please consider taking part, it only takes a few minutes!
