Re: [ANN]Spectrecoin[XSPEC] TOR+OBFS4, Ring Sig, Stealth!
I got something to rant about that WISP will fix:
I had a computer restart recently. Shit exploded on me. I rewound the chain and everything, too. Still wouldn't sync. Now have to wait several hours to resync the whole blockchain. Why? Oh, wait, because XSPEC wasn't really being developed.
I really don't want to spread FUD, but how can I support XSPEC if basic things like this aren't implemented? This was also in the talks to fix this issue of having to delete the blockchain after a forced restart on a system months and months ago, but not implemented. How can something become usable when such a basic feature isn't included? Serious question. Mass adoption for this is never gonna happen if these issues aren't ironed out. The team receives donations, but does it deliver? NOPE!
Very unhappy!! Development, seriously, is at a stand still. Ugh. UGH!!
Here's XSPEC's future:

We are def going to work through issues and update the code so you can raise an issue at GitHub and be specific about what is actually happening and it will be looked at. I have been running the XSPEC wallet for a long time and never have such issues. If you want to be serious about, raise an issue and describe the problem in some detail.
Hey there, I'm serious and I left you a pull request regarding build dependencies in Ubuntu: https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/pull/3
I can also confirm this problem still exists in Linux and still hasn't been fixed: https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/issues/4
I run a handful of QT wallets with tor-integration and never had this onion time-out problem. It's been a mont so it'd be great to fix that already please. I was told to shut down and restart the wallet, but it doesn't matter how many times I do that it still won't connect. I run DeepOnion no problem, why Xspec not work?
Also please release an AppImage already if you haven't packaged the .deb yet, this would be a great step forward for Linux users. I don't mean to be rude and still have 100% confidence in this project, regardless of recent wisp non-forking disagreements, but it'd be great to get some of these basic fixes sorted first. I've got a wallet ruining through WINE but it uses too much CPU in order to stake with it. Thanks for listening.
