Happy 4th of July. Today is a great day to start pulling all of your Spectrecoin sell orders and clear the launchpad. Don't sell below .000175 in the short term... Just... you... wait.

Dear Dev,

Need your feedback:

you said in OP:

Quote
The first step towards the Spectre.Cash app is the The Spectre.Wallet for Android that will be released very soon

While you said again:

Quote
Spectre Cash App / Mobile remittance
See below...
Time estimate: 26-52 weeks

What do you mean by "very soon"?

The roadmap has changed since the original post. It's sensible now.
I can't find the second (26-52 weeks)quote you posted. Where did that originate?

Is there any faucet where we can get free spectrecoin?

Not at this time. Would be nice to have, though.

The Cryptopia chart can be difficult to read. Set it to 2days/15min increments. Here, you can see more clearly what we have is an upward trend that keeps getting stifled by someone's clueless dumping. Patience will reward you.

Those who are selling now obviously can't see what is happening. HODL for .05 USD or more. Don't be suckers.

$ .05 cents lol, that goal is extremely shortsighted. I'm looking forward to something like $5 or more. May take a couple years, but I almost never invest for the short term.

Real progress takes time, and lots of hard work.

Of course its extremely shortsighted! I'm asking why people can't just wait a short bit for more than double what it is now. I realistically don't think its worth much more than .06-.08 until the whitepaper is released shortly, along with the completed wallet and road to the APP. I think .50-$1 is something to look forward to after that, it will take a lot to get to $5.00, but I don't see why this coin isn't capable of 9+ in the very long term. I have seen less worthy coins go there. This is a "buy a shitload and hold" coin. I'm talking in the above comment to people who seem willing to sell for three and a half cents. Bonkers!

Here is what is going on behind the scenes with Spectrecoin development.

Lots to do to lock in a clean wallet plus a whitepaper and coming PR push.

FROM THE DEVS:


CURRENT TASK LIST FOR SPECTRECOIN:

1. Fix dependency hell:
- All the suitable versions of third-party dependencies (boost, libevent, etc.) should be included as sub-projects;
- No third-party dependencies should be used from random system folders, all of them should be inside project tree;
- Take a look at Qt project which includes third-party dependencies to avoid complications and simplify build process;

2. Add automated build script for third-party dependencies:
- Script (bootstrap.sh) should be able to detect platform and arch and build required versions of dependencies;
- Supported platforms: linux32, linux64, macos, windows32, windows64;
- This will simplify the “Getting Started Guide” for all developers to two simple steps:
  + clone sources from github;
  + run bootstrap.sh in terminal;
- The easier the Getting Started Guide the more developers will be able to build the project;
- The more developers will be able to successfully build the project the more will contribute to it or test it.

3. Add vagrant support to give everyone an opportunity to compile project for all supported platforms on a single machine with a “single click” (this is an important addition to the previous task):
- This will allow any developer to easily run cross-platform tests for there changes/pull-requests;
- Running cross-platform tests will help to avoid platform-dependent errors;

4. Fix and improve spectre.pro file:
- build_* options are redundant, linux|macos|win32|win64 options are already available for qmake;
- add separate library includes for win32 and win64;
- don’t use C:\some\system\path includes;
- add multiple small improvements and fix warnings;

5. Switch to the latest Tor version:
- possibly can fix current runtime issues with Tor submodule on Windows;
- improves Tor stability;

6. Fix runtime bugs for Tor submodule on Windows (if current bugs will remain in newer version of Tor);

7. Check for compile time and runtime errors on Linux and macOS platforms. Also check the app for memory leaks on all platforms;

8. Do a research on a topic “Is it possible to remove QtWebKit dependency or not?”:
- this module is deprecated, which means that it no longer receives any updates from official Qt developers;
- it will be a great improvement to the project if we will find a way to switch to QtWebEngine.

9. Implement autoupdater submodule:
- example is current Chrome or Firefox update process (click “update” button and wait for it to download changes);
- updated versions will be automatically downloaded from Github release pages when user starts an older version of app on his/her machine;
- this will significantly simplify distribution process;

10. Add support for Google Breakpad:
- application will exit cleanly on crash;
- crash dump will be generated automatically;
- on the next run user will be asked to send this dump to us.

NOTE1: after implementing steps 1-4 it will be much easier to detect, fix and test any other bugs.
NOTE2: steps #3 and #9 will significantly simplify distribution process.
NOTE3: step #10 will simplify bugreporting process and give us more info about the issue (crash dump from user machine).

ADDITIONALLY: We will also build in a Tor obfuscation function so our wallet doesn’t get blocked.

How many coins exist for every hour of every day for every first world employee? I don't understand. Without a supply, this is like reading a bar graph with units of measure only along one edge.

If the total supply (that you are sole mint and exchange for) does not matter, how have you calculated the current value?

I understand some may feel that the price is too high, but considering they are at the price of a Bitcoin right now, and with Bitcoin really not offering anything significant to the market I find that surprising. How many of you have been rallying for Bitcoin to go up over $100,000 and above ;-)? I believe we will be that project that brings that kind of value to the Fintech space. Please read our whitepaper, what we are building is an ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM.

As for number of VIVA Coins minted in a quarter, that will depend on what the market needs.  As Crownholders we evaluate that need each quarter. You can see the marketcap on Tradeqwik.com

All transactions for buying VIVA Crowns are done in VIVA Coins, that is done to support our market and depending on how high those prices go, what we mint moving forward will largely depend on those figures.  Keep in mind, the Crownholders are guardians of our ecosystem, we increase and decrease supply to keep our base coin VIVA orbiting a stable value at +- 10% of $5.50. That is a figure we calculated from the census bureau of the average income of a first world employee, divided by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...to come up with an hourly dollar amount. Thank you for your questions!

I understand this. I'm asking how many viva coins have been minted. I understand there was a pre-ICO sale, and those that received Crowns in that sale were already granted TR's. So, how many of those early crown holders are minting and how many have they agreed to mint per week/quarter. We can't tell if we consider your price fair unless we know the supply. They are over 5 dollars each. Are there 1,000,000? 100,000,000? How many people control those? Super important to include total supply in any currency endeavor.

Dawn,

These numbers I can not find anywhere and they are really important to me:

How many Vivacoins have been minted?

How many Vivacoins can the pre-ICO Crown holders mint per week for this quarter.


Thank you.

What you think about this project: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1864282.0
Some people claim it's a clone of Spectrecoin



Even if there were no allegations of Torcoin being a scam, and just by looking at the face of it verses Spectre, I would say I wouldn't dare touch Torcoin at today's price, but I would easily buy up more Spectre at today's price. Pretty simple.

There is no need for any coin to develop a marketplace...
a bust everytime.

If anything came up in the investors channel it must have been quickly squashed....
 because I sure don't remember it.




Yep, I looked. The talk was in General Slack and didn't have any resolution. I misspoke.

The devs are dedicated to achieving true, reliable anonymity. That's the most important thing toward that end in this development phase. In the investor's Slack, there is talk of creating a darknet site for Spectrecoin, which may be the first coin to do such a thing. Still, achieving true anonymity is the key, and what is being worked on. I don't know everything, though. Anyone else?

They need to very huss huss  and sneaky about it due who ever is the eventual  owner  of it .Just because they host it on tor dont mean it cant be trace back to then .How they caught the original slickroad guy was he was promoting it on the regular web with no proxy when it was small.When it got bigger The big bad government  with back to check the forums and bam. they had your mans ip address.So yeah if going to do it  do not talk about it are   organize it on stack  Wink.
[/quote]

I do not think the conversation I saw had anything to do with a marketplace. Sorry if I'm misunderstood. The devs have stated repeatedly that a marketplace will never be their direction, just the most anon coin they can muster.

I'm just too lazy to do the back read its page after page already. How are your plan to make this coin being used by the darknet community or any other community besides us?

3. SpectreCash is an entirely different concept. It's based on Hawala.

Again I ask anyone reading - will this be marketed to Islamics?

Should have been called HAWALA COIN.

Only a few billion Muslims out there.

And where is this Slack?  Why so secret?



I see no need to market this coin to any race or religion. One of the things I like about crypto investing is it generally doesn't discriminate against anyone, and everyone has the same opportunities to invest. Everyone is welcome!

The things we should concentrate on are the right to private transactions, security, liquidity, and upward momentum. The underlying code of this coin is second to none since SDC is getting ready to bite the dust. Anyone who knows this will be buying in. I know quite a few that are just being patient and hoping to get a decent stake around current prices. Once the market cap grows a little, we should be able to fund plenty of new development. For now I'm glad it is still sort of unknown. It won't be long and prices will likely be many times what they are now.

You'll have to take that up with the devs then, because Hawala is what they claim to have made this coin for. I, too don't see the point in telling people in what format to exchange coins. Can't I just buy some weed with it? However, Hawala is a massive market.

Hawalacoin is pretty good. Obvious is GREAT! Especially since a Google search for Islam and Spectre doesn't bring up anything positive. One of the first things to come up for Hawala and Spectre is a story "the spectre of terrorism". yikes.

But, yes, I have seen no indication anyone involved actually knows the Hawala 'market' or how to communicate with them, nor has reached out for translators, which is CRUCIAL. I know I've been begging for a website makeover, but how to accomplish this Hawala business without a fully translated version of site seems, well... impossible.

Meanwhile this link is right there on the spectrecoin website: https://slack.spectreproject.io/

The website and graphics of anything are an expression of pride.

What is actually an expression of pride is to not have the Windows wallet crashing on exit. To deliver on promised milestones (beta App release). Having a fancy website is an expression of superficiality and trying to convince people of something that doesn't even exist yet. "Under-advertise, over-deliver" has been a very successful receipt in the past. A website is advertisement, the software is the product that matters. Have a working product first, and advertise it when it works.

First impressions are important and this keeps coming up in a negative light. Is that meaningless to you as an investor? People see a clunky-ass site and they immediately suspect a clunky-ass coin.  Investors should hope they'd get somebody on this cosmetic issue while they deal with the windows issue that first came up in November/December. If nothing apparent is happening with the code, the appearance of momentum is very helpful. I don't get your logic.

Let me explain to you my logic. As an investor, a bad first impression or bad presentation is attractive to me! Because it increases the probability of a coin being undervalued. I have a good history of success following that logic. This is probably some of of the most high-profile advice you will find on this forum: Look for projects that have good fundamentals, and bad presentation (or bad marketing, bad reputation etc.).

The point is, yes, the price will be lower when the first impression is not right. But the market will correct eventually as the presentation problems will be solved eventually, assuming that the project itself is promising. If you're a serious investor who is thinking long term, it doesn't matter to you whether problems like these will be fixed in one month or 1 year, as long as you were able to get in before the price rises.

I already bought in, so I'm just here to wait until the price is at the moon, and I don't care when that will be.


The ICO phase happened last year. What would be the reason now for keeping it clunky?
