We are excited to introduce SpectreX, a versatile CPU mining algorithm library, which will soon be integrated with our Rust full-node daemon.
Why don't you publish in Github what you already have of your Rust full-node daemon? Are Pedersen commitments hiding the amounts going to be implemented in the first release
of the rusty full node? Decent privacy coins such as Wownero,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3088712.0 , were already providing their users with the necessary privacy at their lauch. More than a month has passed since the launch of SPR and one can still see the amount out in the open displayed in the block explorer.
Do you consider desireable introducing pool-resistant solo mining in SPECTRE? Wownero already does it.
Thank you for your questions. Here's an overview of our development process and future plans:
We understand the community's eagerness to see the progress of our Rust full-node daemon. We plan to publish the repository once we reach a certain milestone that guarantees a stable and functional base. When it's public, this link will work: <
https://github.com/spectre-project/rusty-spectre>
For those who might have seen it already. We've uploaded already a datadir from the working Spectre on Rust node to the downloads folder on our website at <https://spectre-network.org/downloads/datadir-rust.zip>. You cannot use it right now, but it is from an already running internal `rusty-spectre` version using `rusty-spectrex`. Please don't use it with the Golang node.
Switching the UTXO model to the privacy one will require a hardfork and we plan to implement the GhostFACE protocol in Q4 2024 which will include advanced cryptographic techniques like Pedersen Commitments and ElGamal signatures for full privacy and anonymous transactions. You can find more details on our roadmap on our website and whitepaper.

Launching the blockchain early, even with some features missing, helps build a community, gather feedback, test in real-world conditions, attract investors, and establish a strong market presence. People have different opinions on this approach. 🙂
