[ANN] SPECTRE (SPR) - ghostDAG - blockDAG - AstroBWTv3 - CPU-only-PoW

[x100111010]

We are excited to announce the launch of the Spectre Network! Leveraging a fork from Kaspa, Spectre introduces the cutting-edge SpectreX algorithm, which incorporates the robust AstroBWTv3 for CPU-only mining. Spectre is committed to enhancing scalability and privacy, with plans to integrate the innovative GhostFACE protocol for fully anonymous transactions.

 Highlights:
- Untraceable mining with AstroBWTv3, optimized for ARM/x86 architectures.
- Multicore miner already available, ensuring equitable mining opportunities.
- Ongoing development of a Rust-based AstroBWT proof-of-concept, with community-led optimization efforts encouraged.

Join us in shaping the future of decentralized, privacy-focused digital transactions. No pre-mine, just pure privacy.

Why another fork?
We chose to fork Kaspa because it offers great speed and scalability. However, we wanted to enhance privacy features, which led us to integrate aspects from privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero and DERO, combining the best of both worlds—speed from Kaspa and privacy from the others.


Happy Mining!





Welcome to the Rust-based implementation of the Spectre full-node and its ancillary libraries. This node release is a drop-in replacement for the established Golang node and is now the recommended node software for the Spectre network. It introduces developers to the possibilities of Rust within the Spectre network's context, offering enhanced performance and reliability.

With the switch to Spectre on Rust, users are no longer required to download anything manually.  

The first sync takes approximately 30 minutes.


To get started with the Rust binaries, please follow these steps:

1. Start the Node:
   - Download and unzip the latest binaries from our Github: https://github.com/spectre-project/rusty-spectre/releases
   - Run the command: `spectred --utxoindex`.
   - Wait until you see the message `2024-06-18 20:30:45.630+02:00 [INFO] Accepted block 59209d...`, indicating the node is up and running properly.

2. Create a Wallet:
   - Run `spectre-wallet` to start the wallet
   - Run `network mainnet` to configure the wallet for mainnet mode
   - Run `wallet create` to generate a new wallet.
   - Secure your wallet's mnemonic, which will be displayed under "Your default wallet account mnemonic" (12 words)
   - Copy the wallet address found under "Your default account deposit address" (starting with "spectre:...").

3. Begin Mining:
   - Download and extract the latest Rust miner binaries from our Github: https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-miner/releases
   - Start mining by executing: `spectre-miner --mining-address spectre:YourWalletAddress --threads X`, where `X` is the number of CPU cores you want to use.
   - You can operate a single node within the network and direct all miners to it. To do this, set the `--rpclisten=0.0.0.0:18110` option in the node (using: `spectred --utxoindex --rpclisten=0.0.0.0:18110`), as the default is set to 127.0.0.1
   - Now, in the miner, you need to specify where Spectred (the full node) is running. To do this, add the `--spectred-address X.X.X.X` option (where X.X.X.X is the local IP address of the machine running your node). For example: `spectre-miner --mining-address spectre:YourWalletAddress --threads X --spectred-address X.X.X.X`



Importing Your Existing Wallet

Note: There is a minor bug that requires manual configuration to connect. Ensure your node is started with `--rpclisten-borsh=127.0.0.1:19110`.

1. Start `spectre-wallet`.
2. Type: `server 127.0.0.1:19110` and then `connect`. This will connect the wallet to the locally running full node.
3. Type `wallet import` and follow the on-screen instructions.



Thank you for joining our network and helping us enhance its growth and stability!

Well I can't burn my house down with it if I can't get it running

Datadir needs to be on github.

how to start mining?
The wallet does not let me create my wallet address. I write create and receive the following message.
"not recognized as an internal or external command"

Use a web wallet.

Are you guys too having this issue when syncing?

Not only premined without ANN. Obviously premined with better Miners. Look at the current Hash Rate or how magically a Stratum Proxy got released right after the first Block Reward Reduction.

"Given our current limited number of network nodes, please manually download the data from the `data2dir` at: https://spectre-network.org/downloads/
As our network expands and more nodes become available, synchronization will speed up and become smoother."

Such a request does not make a good impression. Don't trust verify. If the project be worthy the enthusiasts would pick it up and run the code, open the ports etc. There was no similar request on Kaspa's launch.

I agree

[Hashrateoptions]

8 millions premined make it a high risky project. It is a crazy stuff how developers recently make projects... I suggest to keep away. Network hashrate shows that there is gpu miner and I am guessing from developers side. Making announcements just after 8m mined shows their respect.

[Turbinaster]

Hashrate on two XEON 2680v4 processors = 7 kHs. The total hashrate of the network = 50+ mHs. Funny.

The hashrate on Xeon cpus for mining is not good. Unless you are mining Verus.

anyone build a pool?

[M-star]

i don't know why you created a kas fork & made it cpu coin
but devs have a gpu miner & Premine 4 days + anonymous team
is it a rug pull? mean pump & dump

How is it possible to mine more efficiently with GPU than with CPU using AstroBWTv3? Would RandomX prevent this and thus be a better choice?

Happy to announce the Spectre Desktop wallet availability, it can be downloaded at:

<https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-desktop/releases/tag/v0.3.14>
<https://spectre-network.org/downloads/>

This will be the last release of the legacy Golang and Node.JS components. Next Station of our high speed train is the Rust drop in replacement with SpectreX for the Spectre node daemon.

only cpu?
