Phore is an unproven 2 months old project , probably a scam. It uses masternodes therefore it is prone to centralization ( masternodes = masters ) and it discriminates anyone who has less than 10000 coins because they can't stake and participate actively in the network -> bad model.
They also use zerocoin protocol which is also a questionable tech, not well peer reviewed (same for zerocash ) , it is very complex -> large attach surface, it is very computationally inefficient . So no , i would pick XSPEC anytime.
2 months only and they have achieved what they have already? Wow I don't know if it is a scam or not but that is a pretty good accomplishment for them as of late. I think they now seem overvalued at the moment but I will keep my eye on both these coins moving into 2018. 2018 to me seems like it is the year of the fork and anon coins, I know which I will keep my eyes on more thank you very much.
