Spectrecoin claims to have anonymous staking, but no one has yet to explain how it achieves this miracle. I'm calling BS until someone can explain it.
Oh man, did you see official site? Why do you want to lie?

Version 2.0
Target Launch: Q2 2018

Stealth addresses and transactions become the default
Innovative stealth staking
Further features and improvements to be announced
Ok man, this is my Spectrecoin (XSPEC) Stealth-Address: smYoRN5Kna3jo3eeAnrqoDECzG59WDajtsNZHMGZEaA9sxEYwtQDZUnGBCKM5BmXBVU4K6vKH7b6s4X oNiV7yJB8vDkhzq6HjsfMbp
I sent my money from this Stealth-Address to the non-Stealth-Address, did non-stealth-staking, and sent my money back to this Stealth-Address.
Just tell me something about me: my IP, amount of coins that participates in the non-stealth-staking, time when I did staking, just something  Grin
Do you want I tell you about users of other "privacy" coins? See below

Recently, you said that integrated Tor is unimportant: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2471807.msg26774212#msg26774212

Then TOR integration is pointless for those that choose to bake it in, not sure what your point is.
Script to get IPs of peers in Monero: https://github.com/DotNetRussell/MoneroUserScraper
From which we can get IP of wallets: https://dotnetrussell.com/index.php/2017/10/21/locating-monero-users-via-transaction-broadcasts/
We can not relate Monero-addresses and IPs, monero is realy privacy: https://moneroexplorer.com/tx/84ea5936b2864709fe21ece3be8cb683d356f1f83cb5851ecbd4ee104012c583
But the Government will easily find the home addresses of those people who use the Monero for more intimate tax control.

For Verge: IP addresses, XVG-addresses and amounts:
- Electrum Verge Wallet: http://xvg.keff.org/
- Core Verge Wallet: http://xvg.keff.org/core.php
Now we can understand what your word is worth) Who wants to show their IP addresses - listen to "generalizethis" lol.

Exhanges that uses KYC/AML knows your personal information, and knows how many privacy coins you bought (Monero, ZCash, Spectrecoin, ...). So you should use decentralized exchanges such as BISQ (without KYC/AML) using Tor.
As soon as the money reaches the Stealth-Address and is sent to the next Stealth-Address using Ring-sig (Monero, Spectrecoin, ...) - the exchange does not know anything about it.

Just compare current state of different privacy coins:
Spectrecoin (XSPEC) with $100 M market cap at least much more privacy than PIVX (PoS) with $650 M.

IP data is not TX data. When you realize the difference you will know what keeps your funds from being tracked.
Oh man, do you can trace TX data that uses Ring-Signatures that used in the (Monero, Spectrecoin, ...)? You are much more brilliant than the developers who would sometime possibly invent the stealth staking, lol.

Ok man, this is my Spectrecoin (XSPEC) Stealth-Address: smYoRN5Kna3jo3eeAnrqoDECzG59WDajtsNZHMGZEaA9sxEYwtQDZUnGBCKM5BmXBVU4K6vKH7b6s4X oNiV7yJB8vDkhzq6HjsfMbp

What are you talking about? I was talking about the comment in reference to IP leakage--and yes it's unimportant if you use proper OPSEC (like not sending funds directly from an exchange to a wallet you don't want linked) and you are not in a country that bans Monero. I didn't mention OPSEC in the post that you linked--didn't think I needed to.

The rest of your staements are convoluted, but if you are asking me to unravel a spectrecoin anonymous staked tx, I cant as it hasn't even been implemented yet.

Not sure what you are on about honestly, but my contention is that the spectre dev isn't explaining how he plans to achive anonymous staking because it's a fake claim. Not sure why you want to take it down another road, but you can go down it alone.
