This project was accused of plagiarized the name and the ticker last year:

This is a sick joke!!!! Total SCAM!!!!


WE ARE SPECTRE!!!



https://spectreproject.io/

We are SPECTRE and Spectrecoin. We have been Spectre / Spectrecoin since 2016 and we are a serious project and not some masternode scam trying to rip off our name. Your Twitter even says 'SpectreCoin' and you use the ticker 'XSPC' when we use the ticker 'XSPEC' - this is not due to useless and lazy research but clearly a rip-off.



IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY SERIOUS YOU RE-NAME AND RE LAUNCH. You will not get on exchanges we are with that name and ticker.



I don't see how using a different name and a different ticker is plagiarism. Arguably, only the Twitter account could be taken as plagiarism, but even that isn't the same. Spectre vs CoinSpectre is different. Hell, did BitcoinCash plagiarized Bitcoin? It's the same thing at the end of the day.
