But no other privacy coin - NONE WHATSOEVER - has an unknown development team. Think about it: should a powerful government want to crack down on Monero...
Not true.
I'm not impressed by Monero...
Its wallet is unusable by normal people and prone to error...
Their requirement that you run a CLI + GUI is incredibly badly implemented...
Every time they do an upgrade you get a shitshow on Reddit with corrupted blockchains and lost coins.
There is a cryptonight fork with a better, anon Dev team based in UA (see around #540 on CMC)...
They've merged the CLI+GUI and are steadily rolling out enhancements...
Instead of spending all their time sucking their own cock on Twitter like Fluffy.
At least XSPEC has a 1st class wallet which is something that matters to humans.
Actually I am pretty sure that the NEW wallet 1.4 that we are all waiting for, will raise the bar for wallets of anon coins to new heights!
Would you tell us the name of the secret new coin you are referring to? Just for research
Also note that Spectrecoin still has the advantage of being PoS, which will win the game against PoW in the long term I think. So actually Monero is not really a competitor for us. 
We are waiting for v1.4 wallet for a really long time. When will it come to be real?
When I used v1.3.3, the wallet is blocked by Chinese Great Wall firewall.
@jbg said he can help solve the sync problem in new wallet.
However, I can't sync yet with the new v1.3.5 and v1.3.6.
I asked in the discord but have no response.
