Which coin did you guys rip-off? or is that what they call cloning? You guys don't seem to have a source code. I wonder if you wrote the code from scratch or if you cloned another repo. Your research is insufficient unfortunately. If you look at GitHub for Spectrecoin you can see what they are doing. That is if you are able to understand these things.

Let's see your source code and see what coin you ripped off. Was it PIVX or something similar? Let's have a look

https://i.imgur.com/SO7ojyY.png

Was that DASH you ripped off, or another DASH clone (rip-off)? You have Darksend in your wallet, wow, that's original technology and it works so well....

You guys must be pissed off that DASH is using your technology. Why didn't you rip-off PIVX instead, much better code base and has actual privacy. Was it too difficult to deal with the Zerocoin stuff...?

The suspense is killing me @Blobboy and Rossman, which coin did you rip-off?

i have no idea why you are @ing me when i have nothing to do with this project. im an outsider calling it how i see it.

and all i have seen is members from another coin come to shit on another coin project cause they have a "similar" name

https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-different-companies-with-the-same-name

the above resource might give you insight that you dont own the name spectre.

all you have done is seen a name similar and assumed that its scamming one of your coins which doesnt look good for the coin you are trying to defend.

generally causing drama between community like this is a bad idea and will drive away investors as they will see the childish behaviour the "lead promoter" or "Founder" depending where i look.

grow up and act like an adult before calling a project a scam the day its launched.

the code has already been made public on https://github.com/SpectreSecurityCoin/SpectreSecurityCoin

Hmm, imagine that, a respected team from the newbie
and a scam report about the coin caling names. - Not saying anything, just observing, now, and watching with popcorn.

Spectrecoin, Xspec has had scam accusations thrown at it in the past and although it is clearly not a scam the accusations often had some degree of merit. Previously A former developer for Xspec was not delivering the work he had promised and he was subsequently booted by the team because of this. There was a restructuring and the project is now stronger then ever as it had to become more transparent with the community and establish a foundation that kept its team and developers accountable. In fact development wise Spectrecoin, Xspec currently ranks in the top 5% of crypto for github commits. You can check it out on CryptoMiso. Anyway the reason I bring this up is because scam accusations true or false often come from people when they notice apparent red flags in crypto. Spectre Security Coin has a lot of red flags and I still haven't heard any answers to my questions. Who are the team? Where's the Code? What does Spectre Security Coin do, and why is it necessary? I saw a post mentioning that the team photos show two good experienced developers "Digiwarfare" and ".Lex" but  on the website it doesn't say what role these developers have with the project. What's their capacity working on the project are they developers, consultants, donors? Did they make the missing code? We don't know, nothing is explicitly stated. Like everything else all the information we get just seems to be smoke and elude to nothing. Again, I see a lot of red flags so I'm stating my concern maybe it's not a scam but then again..... 

Code is above

hmmm ok i think bad move. dev doing swap bad. you need do burn coin thing...agree with community  Roll Eyes

question is whos coins get burned?

the coin was created by someone else and taken over by a team. the old dev never gave all of his coins.

the only way to burn coins would be to decrease total supply by burning a % of all coins (essentially a swap)

the whitepaper for XSPEC also has a few grammar issues which i couldnt find in XSPC's white paper.

FYI Mixins and mixin should be Mixing's and mixing.

it looks bad on the 2016 spectre to see them trying to discredit a project that's built with the goals to help other cryptos and create a standard on what coins should have and help those coins using that community.

FYI as well, smart ass, a mixin is term for a 'dummy' anonymous transaction output used in a ring signature and is not the same as the word 'mixing' and mixins is the plural of mixin. Think of it as a mix-in, something that you mix in with something else.

i cant find many online resources to back up the claim that mixin is a word. mix-in would be grammatically correct

Mixin is a class for object orientated programming languages reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin
and there is 0 dictionary's that contain mixin as a word. with that meaning not even urban.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mixin&utm_source=search-action


You must be pretty dumb, Blobboy, a mixin is just a made up noun, like Blobboy is not in the dictionary, just a name for something. Monero started using it (https://www.monero.honerw/moo-glossary#privacy-level) and as they have the same mechanism as Monero for adding mixins they use the same term.

...and you wanna talk about grammar as this is highly relevant to the coin being discussed in this thread;

So, you, Blobboy, say it should be Mixing's - You use an apostrophe to show that a thing or person belongs or relates to someone or something. What is the thing that belong to your Mixing? Oh, and isn't ..ing ending in your mixing a verb tense? So, how does something belong to a verb?

Let's make this into a grammar discussion, that's a lot of fun!

so in that case i guess monero should moan that spectre is using a technology they created. then label that coin as a scam cause it has similar features lol also if mixin is a noun then it should have a capital M. grammar is more important in business documents rather than forums a professional document should be professional.if they are using a word from a form of technology that monero uses then that should be referenced at the bottom of the document as not every investor will know the meaning of the word mixin

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/importance-good-grammar-business-communications-cecile-scaros/

but thanks for resorting to childish insults like dumb. calling people names who you don't know is childish. sorry if i triggered you somehow but that was not the intent

More like MR BLOBBY...!!!

Mr Blobby first appeared in 1992 in the 'Gotcha' segment of the second series of Noel's House Party, in which celebrities were caught out in a Candid Camera style prank. Mr Blobby was presented to the celebrities as if he were a real and established children's television character, in order to record an episode centred around the guests' profession. In truth, there was no "Mr. Blobby" TV series, and he was created purely for the prank. Mr Blobby would clumsily take part in the activity, knocking over the set, causing mayhem, and saying "blobby blobby blobby." His childish and unprofessional behaviour was calculated to irritate the celebrities taking part. When the prank was finally revealed the Blobby costume would be opened, revealing Noel Edmonds inside.

You are a PRANK...!!

i am not quite sure how analysing someones online alias in such a way is related to this topic. but the alias didnt derive from the tv series mr blobby

all im saying here is it looks like a group effort from another coin to discredit in malicious way to deter people from what could be a legitimate project. this is neither professional or good for the coin making the accusations.

their are literally hundreds of coins on the market with similar names. but this is the first time ive seen one go out of there way to discredit a project before its even launched lol.

if you take a look at the screen names when you hover over the team. youll find the first one is digiwarfare. after some internet research youll find this guy has quite the resume for security based applications. on his linked in his last job was Malware Research Labs and Sandboxing. his github has various software tools for network stress testing and honeypots. which is a security based background

Second on that list is .Lex (Lexicon) who has a large background in crypto. used to develop for burst-coin he made smart contracts, pools and a wallet amongst helping out various other coins. including being involved in a team to identify an issue with a version of PoS. he also identified an exploit in burstcoins system that basically caused the entire network to fork when it was saturated with transactions. causing pools, casinos and various other services to double spend.


looking through bitcoin talk XSPEC also had a scam report which is worth looking at here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055715.msg33778251#msg33778251

on the first page you can clearly see this comment "Now putting that aside, let's look at what xspec actually is:
It's a complete mirror copy of Shadow Cash and the Umbra wallet, they've changed some colours and the logo/name from the Umbra source code, picture below gives an idea!

so basically XSPEC Ripped off another coin called Umbra which when applied to the accusations is pretty funny.

i even look at the guys profile rep in one place he says he is lead promoter and in another he says he is founder. Read their blog, they are broke, had to fork, and admitted to no funds to develop.

this is all ive gained from doing some research

The project is not a scam. Totally legit project and totally different. Just take time to read and understand before doing such accusations. Deal with it. You don't own the word "Spectre" at all. SO CHILDISH! You're just making yourself and your project more like unprofessional by doing such false accusations.  Grin Grin Grin Every project can all co-exist. Just move on and DEAL WITH IT.

Well the name is identical and they are advertising with the same features.
So it's understandable that the Devs of the "real" spectrecoin are mad? or not??


its not understandable at all.

the whitepapers are completely different. if you saying same features. then spectre (2016) has copied the features of 100% of all the security coins out there. like kore and Bulwark i sent someone both these threads and they are appalled at what spectre (2016) are doing here and said they are basically a rip off of Denarius

the whitepapers are completely different. do your research lol

Code:
What is the Spectre Security Coin Platform?

Spectre Security Coin wants to bridge the gap between the crypto community and the security professionals. By streamlining the process of contacting developers, determining the coin traits, and performing the steps of creating a coin, we can help set a better standard of the coin platforms we are working with.
Who is it for?
1. Those who want a Service or Product
2. Security Researchers/Professionals that are interested in cryptocurrency
3. Crypto traders and investors
4. Those who have the desire to explore the crypto-currency world

How will it Work?

Spectre Security Coin will focus on two key aspects of the cryptocurrency market that are important when either starting a cryptocurrency project, or running one currently. It takes a lot of resources to bring up a professional coin. Let us help you in the following areas.
1. People who want to Create Cryptocurrency Projects
a. Crypto Coin Communities
b. Service/Product/Sales Markets
c. Blockchain Developers
d. Application Programmers
e. Security Professionals
f. Graphics Designers
g. Other use cases
2. Services needed to provide those products
a. Website Scanning Services
b. Masternode Hosting
c. Coin Website Hosting
d. Project Infrastructure
e. Secure Payments and Gateway services

We want traders, investors or others to pick great investments. But is there currently a set standard or board that is widely accepted? We did not find one. But we found plenty that we felt lacked the resources or structure to be a leader in the crypto space. We want to help correct that.

How will XSPC be Used?
The Spectre Security Coin platform plans to support a multitude of different cryptocurrencies. However, if you instead choose to use XSPC, you’ll have an added benefit of 0% fees. Essentially, the platform will work with the coin. There are a few ways of using XSPC:
1. Direct to Merchant
a. Buy goods and services from partners through the Merchants Own Portal
i. Online Portals
1. Brick and Mortar MerchantsSpectreService Portal
b. Buy goods and services from partners through the SpectreService Portal.
i. Online Portal
1. Website Hosting
2. Website Scanning
3. Masternode Hosting
ii. Consulting Service
1. Blockchain Business Development
2. Coin Marketing
c. Peer to Peer
i. Buy or Sell directly between XSPC Holders

What is the Total Rewards Program?

Developing ways to give back to the community and is a key goal of ours. To answer this, we have developed a system to do just that. This is called the “Total Rewards Program” or “TRP”. This will include but not be limited to the following.
1. Community Goals and Incentives (SpectreArmy)
2. Spectre Security Bug Bounty (SpectreAware)
3. Partnership Discounts and Business Rewards (SpectreEveryWhere)

What are the Community Goals and Rewards?

Let’s face it, we need the community, we need the developers, and we need to work together to create   a more secure blockchain network. Community members are everyone. It doesn’t matter if you trade, develop applications or blockchains, or anything else one could do. We are the “SpectreArmy”.
We will implement a number of community projects that will be rewarded to members who participate. These are designed to bring the community together in positive manners to promote growth. Each program will have custom amounts of rewards based of the rules of the project. Some examples to include are the following.

1. World Community Grid
2. Seti@Home
3. Invite Challenges
4. Community Bounties

compared to XSPEC
Code:
DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Below we set out the development goals for the next 12 months. We are primarily focused on improving
and optimising the privacy technology and roadmap is will reflect that. We have not set any dates for
when we anticipate the roadmap to be completed at this time.

Proof-of-Stealth

We will release a new proof-of-stake mechanism for the ATXO subsystem. This means that your SPECTRE
coin balance will be able to stake and you will be paid the stake reward directly in anonymous SPECTRE
coins. This will make the staking process totally private and an observer will not be able to determine
who is staking, any balances or rewards. Once introduced in Spectrecoin v3 there will be two parallel
staking systems, one for standard UTXOs and one for ATXOs.

ATXO Denomination Balancer

It is vital that the process of selecting mixins for ring signatures is sound and that a sufficient selection of
mixins of different denominations are available. We will therefore introduce a process of balancing the
ATXO denominations when ATXOs are created to ensure sufficient supply of entropy rich mixins.
Spectrecoin already has a concept of ‘compromised’ ATXOs in the code base and we will improve on this
system.

Improved Mixin Selection Algorithms

We will improve the way in which mixins are selected for inclusion in ring signatures.

Minimum Ring Size

In the next major wallet update we will introduce a min ring size of 8 for all ATXO based transactions.
Docker Images and Automated Building
We are aiming for rapid automated builds when new code is released.
Cryptography Audit and Research
We will work with industry and academics to audit our cryptographic implementations, to research
improvements and propose new solutions to fix vulnerabilities or weaknesses.

Network Security

We will work to audit and improve the TOR integration and work towards integrating the TOR pluggable
transports. We will also look at proposals such as Dandelion to assess if this can be introduced to
enhance Spectrecoin network security.

the whitepaper for XSPEC also has a few grammar issues which i couldnt find in XSPC's white paper.

FYI Mixins and mixin should be Mixing's and mixing.

it looks bad on the 2016 spectre to see them trying to discredit a project that's built with the goals to help other cryptos and create a standard on what coins should have and help those coins using that community.

Board Scam Accusations

on 22/10/2018, 14:59:10 UTC
names are completely different. i fail to see how this is a scam. i have left the user who left this a negative trust rating for false accusations on the premise that they dont want another coin with a "similar" name.

both coins have different names and different tickers.

this kind of accusation is unprofessional. and if this causes the coin to be a scam. then bitcoin cash and bitcoin diamond should rename their coins. cause of "similarity's" in the name and tickers.

the user instead of having a civil conversation. immediately calls them out to be a scam when they have no affiliation with each other.

i can see that trust rating going down hill from the way mandica has unprofessionally called out a project a scam.

projects sell masternodes to get listed on exchanges. thats not the coins purpose but it is your opinion on what the coins purpose is instead.

on their whitepaper which i couldnt find one for XSPEC found XSPECS "Ghost Paper" however from reading both whitepapers there is a clear difference. nothing was copied. and has ideas that XSPEC doesnt

Its actually funny to see a coin release with a similar name get blasted for using that name when theirs so many coins that use the word bitcoin.

this project looks promising.

i could understand people having an issue with the name if the coin used it to pinch marketing. this reminds me of a coin thats forked recently. XPC basically called themselves the same as XP but added chain. stole the jp twitter. potentially stole the facebook page. and advertised it to xp users as an airdrop for those who hold existing coin. yet they had very little fallout over that. and the best part is they have an ann thread and dont even have any wallet downloads.

yet this coin. has everything ready before release. has wallets, explorer and a clear plan. and its a scam.

lol get real before being an arsehole about a new coin release. calling it a scam straight out of the bat.

these people should really be ashamed.

calling people names is just unprofessional.

I don't think that the real SPECTRE team has ever accused you guys of having any kind of affiliation, they simply state that you use extremely similar name and ticker and that this is not random. You have done this on purpose. Nobody will believe that you accidentally chose, those names for the coin, Twitter and ticker by accident. And, doesn't everyone who wants to start a new coin project do a little bit of research? Like, search Coinmarketcap and here for coins with the same name? Obviously they do...

So you guys are either:

1) Clueless and useless and stupid for not having done any basic research (...and caused a coincident of infinitely small possibility using the same details). In which cased you should just rename and start over. That is if you serious about being taken seriously.

2) You are just another masternode scam amongst hundreds.

also, if you selling masternodes, who is the escrow?

And then you accuse Spectrecoin, have a closer look at what they are doing and dream on...

you clearly havnt a clue. if that was the case then bitcoin should request that bitcoin cash, bitcoin diamond and bitcoin gold to change their names. its actually pathetic to see such squabbling and name calling over what could be a legit project.

there was some sort of split, xp still operates but there is now also xpchain (xpc) they dont visit here much ever, its all through their websites/twitter and discord. they announced an "airdrop" for xp holders, so xp holders who applied before sept 1st will receive XPC in relation to how much XP they held. a lot has been going on apparently, but this thread was abandoned a while ago it seems.



https://twitter.com/xpcoin_io

https://twitter.com/XPChain_Global
...
"Thank you" DEV that you abandoned this topic.
It was so hard to tell it here: "Did you had XP balance in your XP-qt(desktop wallet) or CCWallet at the time of the Snapshot? Snapshot was taken on 2018/05/23 06:00(UTC). "
Thank you, turdminer, for information.



XPC isnt producing. they are infact screwing all of the xp holders over. after filling out their airdrop form. i got an email the weekend just gone saying that i need to send them private information from exchanges to verify that i bought the coins even though i was able to successfully sign a message proving i own the address.

i beleive xpchain was made to pump and dump the coins o they could sell  the coin they bought at a higher value. it screams scam

this is starting to look even more like a scam every time i see news about it.

we are months on and there's still no release of the wallet. now it would seem like you are adding extra steps in place to screw over xp holders.

i got an email linking me to this site https://airdrop.xpchain.io/certify.html

which states
Quote
1. The submission deadline for evidence
2018/10/06 15:00(UTC)
2. Evidence Document
2-1. Non-Korean and non-Japanese Applicants
The goal of verification : Verify that it was purchased properly through the exchange and then sent to XP address for the airdrop application.
2-1-1. Transaction details in the exchange
Screenshot and sheets(Google sheets or excel) for Transaction details of XP in the exchange
Screenshot and sheets(Google sheets or excel) for withdrawals details of XP in the exchange
* attaching the excel file or sharing the link of Google sheets
2-1-2. Additional evidence that XP is properly acquired and held in addition to transaction details
3. E-mail to submit : certify@webrick.co.kr
You should always reply to the address(Email address to which Airdrop is applied) you received

so even though i was able to confirm through signing a message that i am infarct the owner of said account i now have an email where i need to verify more private information such as exchange transaction details.

i've never seen any other coin do this before so whats the motive behind it?

this basically causes a load of issues where holders who received their xp from other people through rains cannot receive the coin.
it also means that users who have bought xp via paypal from another user is left out. let alone mention stake rewards.

and a whole host of other things that users could of received xp from.

this coin was clearly made to pump and dump the coin and now its going to add these steps to put off users from actually claiming the airdrop. maybe this is so the team has more coin for themselves other than that i see no reason for this

so in short.

the XPC guys are going to screw over a lot of the XP holders with this move and i for one will be boycotting this coin.

As predicted on my prior post.

its looking like this coin was developed to pump and dump xp (P&D is a form of securities fraud)  .
if you look at the markets for xp. prior to the announcement. on the 19th there was a pump very early before the announcement volume went up by a large amount compared to usual. this looks like insider trading buying in before the announcement.

these are clear signs of market manipulation

then it slowly dumped during the 3 days. and this morning a huge sell off of coins happened shortly after the snapshot. 70 bitcoin was dumped on CE

The Importance of Good Grammar in Business Communications

"Your grammar is a reflection of your image. Good or bad, you have made an impression. And like all impressions, you are in total control." -  Jeffrey Gitomer (American author & business trainer)

Regardless of the type of business you own, it is likely that you still rely a great deal on the written word to put your message across. In this media driven age, written business communications can take many shapes and forms; from the humble memo, letter or fax to a tender, proposal, application or report; not forgetting emails, websites, blogging and other social media communications. Your company’s written documents may include marketing materials, responses to customer enquiries, reports to clients and other stakeholders. The list is endless..

There are many reasons why you should make sure that your company’s written material is grammatically correct; that spelling mistakes are eliminated and that the correct punctuation is used. Some of these include the following:

First impressions matter: You want to make sure you come across as the business professional you are. You want to give your readers a good first impression. Not only do you want to get their attention, but you also want to earn their respect. Good spelling, correct grammar and the appropriate use of punctuation will give them more confidence in the person (or the company) communicating with them.


Good reputation: Similarly, clients and suppliers are more likely to trust a company that communicates clearly and correctly. The use of proper grammar will help maintain your business’ credibility and reputation as a professional, trustworthy enterprise that views all of its interactions with its customers and traders as equally important.


Avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding: Incorrect spelling or a lack of punctuation may create confusion. Your audience may be left guessing what you are trying to say. Spelling errors and grammatical mistakes may also change the meaning of your message, which might result in misinformation. Some readers may get back to you to clarify, others might not; which, in the case of new prospects / customers, is something you want to avoid. You do not want poor grammar to cost you business opportunities.


Make your communications more effective: It is likely that you do not want to distract your readers from the message you are trying to convey by giving them grammar and spelling mistakes to take note of. Also, such errors make your writing harder to read. You wouldn’t want to create any distraction in your audience’s mind, particularly if you are trying to get them to take some form of action – such as following a hyperlink on your website or signing up for a service.


Reduce the risk of costly lawsuits: In this day and age where most businesses operate on a global basis with teams of people scattered across every corner of the planet, written communications – particularly emails and other instant messaging applications – have become an essential part of their operations. Grammatically incorrect documents may convey misinformation, misguiding the reader into taking the wrong action or their reaction to it. This, in turn, may leave your business open to costly legal action, on the basis that the information provided was false or misleading in some way – maybe simply because of some typographical errors or other mistakes in the final communication.

Keep your business’ competitive edge. Fact: Bad grammar affects business. Full stop. Research has shown that many customers would hesitate in making a purchase from a website that has obvious grammar and spelling errors. Competition is tough; you only have a short time to impress a potential new customer (particularly online). You do not want to present your products or services in an unfavourable light or make your readers lose interest with poor grammar. Instead, you want to gain and maintain your readers’ trust and attention at all times. The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is likely to give your company a definite advantage over less articulate rivals.


Increase productivity: Many businesses rely on written guidelines (for instance, memos or emails) among team members. Correct spelling and grammar will help your employees understand your instructions better, thus avoiding any confusion or misunderstanding about what is expected of them. The result will be less time wasted trying to work out poorly worded instructions and more time spent doing the job. This may also help to maintain harmonious working relationships between colleagues, as a result of better and clearer communication.
The importance of good grammar in business communications is definitely something that all companies should keep in mind, regardless of their size or the industry they operate in. The first and most basic check should be the use of your computer, tablet or smart phone spellchecking facility; however, you should not rely only on spellcheckers to catch mistakes, as they will not pick up the wrong word being used (eg, ‘there’ instead of ‘their’).

Proofreading your document is essential; either do it yourself or better still, ask a colleague to help – it is always a good idea to have a fresh pair of eyes to look at what you have written. The best way to proofread a document still is the old fashioned pen and ruler over a printed copy; other ways include reading it backwards or reading it aloud.

Taking a break and revisiting your work after you’ve finished writing may also improve your ability to spot mistakes. This also gives you a chance to improve on it, correcting wording and punctuation as you go along. This is particularly important for emails, where you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Equally so, it makes sense that employees who are in charge of business communications are proficient in their job. They should be provided with the right training and support; in addition, there are a number of websites which offer tips on business writing and which can be referred to.

Finally, you may wish to use the services of a copywriter or a consultant to write, check and proofread your written material (for example, if you are writing for a new website or a marketing brochure).


Do you think that good grammar and correct spelling matter in business writing?

How do you make sure your professional communications are clear, correct and to the point?

Do you need assistance with preparing or checking your written material?

so ive been thinking about this airdrop.

seeing as the coin is not a fork. one thing i cannot get my head around is how you are going to prove someone owns a specific address.

seeing as you cant use the private keys and are limited to one address sending any sort of proof is next to impossible.

for example.

someone could claim to own an address that isn't theirs. any sort of screenshot could be faked with Photoshop or clever image manipulation

usually in most decentralised currency's the coins are automatically associated with the corresponding private key. this makes it secure as the person receiving the coins has to own the private key to receive them.

but from what i am reading its looking like you are using another method which could be exploited.

Information Leaked Out From Japan Before First Announcement

The Truth of Friction Against the Main Development Team
The admins of Japan has clashed with the main development team over where responsibility of falling price of XP lies. During wrangling a member in the main team allegedly hurled abuse by “F-word.” Plus the main team insisted they'd terminate Japan team's authority to operate the communities e.g. “XP日本”, and that they'd themselves directly administer them. In addition there was a time a negotiator from the main team suddenly disappeared off the radar. As the result the talks proved a challenge and practically resulted in a rupture between the two sides.

 The Japan team has regarded the breakdown in negotiation as “confidential affairs,” and they has kept this from the holders in communities for more than a week. They seem to create a new altcoin, which is named XPC, in their bid for surroundings undisturbed by the main team of XP, and to airdrop tokens for the people having XP. I expect, in the future they're probably scattering the same amount of token as XP each holder has, partially because there are some people familiar with the matter recommending to bring together XP into one wallet. XP nearly doubled in price by the run after May 16, when that scheme was shared among the Japan team. A person concerned with XP日本 presumes this is mainly because some administrators or interested persons of Japan team have bought XP.
 
 He also says, “there's little anyone could do about the fact Japan team has a beef with the main team, but it makes no sense to completely hide that fact of breakdown from holders more than a week and to jump the gun at airdrop. I wonder if the new coin made by such people could get believed, even ICOs are called into question of credibility today.”
 
 These days XP continues dropping in value because of too high the rate of PoS; at the same time, there are still lots of the people owning them in hopes of rising.
 
 There is another person saying, “If Japan team launches a new token xp prices will surely be decreasing. Although recently the discord communities have been becoming desolate, I don't have any idea how I explain this to those'd trusted in community and bought XP.” A morass of discord between Japan and main teams. And the issue of new token and the plan of airdrop. Nothing's there any longer left of what they used to be when they'd lived out moon at their zenith...

Apologize to what I've said yesterday I was exactly be rude
btaim this leak would be critically attack you sooner or later
Once again, only once again, let me hope you all and XPC Wink
now if this has happened inside xp i can imagine this team abandoning this project somewhere down the lines. all because 1 person sent broad insult.
i sent a message to someone to get some clarification and found it was the lead moderator who quit afterwards and he basically said out-loud that people need to pull their finger out of their butthole.

i have asked for screenshots which i will be sent later. will edit this post to include them for clarificaion

BloobBoy no need for us to change the ticker.
If you look at CMC you can see that for example 3 crypto's use the same CAT ticker:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitclave/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/blockcat/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/catcoin/

In few months people will know for which crypto XPC ticker is used.

The reason why XPChain was created is totally different as described above, but as always everyone has it's own opinion.
XPChain isn't designed to replace or destroy XP...it is designed to be a new project going in a new direction that shares a mutual community.


i find it weird that a completely different coin is piggybacking off another coins name when its not a fork. and its not to replace xp.

specifically when half the members used to be on the XP Team. surely not offering a swap and starting up a new coin would of been a better idea. im just calling it how i see it and from what i can see someone renamed XP's facebook page and changed their logo to this coin and deleted all the history.

not only that but the XP-JP Twitter was also changed and taken over. in my opinion its unprofessional to take work thats done for another coin. that should of been handed over to the team when the owner of it left. makes it seem more likly that XPC Hijacked their facebook page

using xpcoin as an airdrop makes me think this was invented to pump and dump xp or manipulate the market.

reading through comments on their facebook and your discord says otherwise. people are actually spreading more fudd about xp due to this startup

Quote
도균 You got to send all XP coins into your CCwallet or XPwallet in order to exchange with the new XPchain til 23rd!
Manage
도균 After 23rd, the original XP coin will down to 1 satosh
도균 1st generation of XP dev team left the team, and the some of them will join the new progect.
considering the users who started the github are still there. everything i see is unprofessional and the ann thread is basically saying that their bot which i have had 0 issues with was unstable. i rarely see it down.
you are currently having the opposite effect to "XPChain isn't designed to replace or destroy XP."

the information leaked "The Truth of Friction Against the Main Development Team" also puts bad news on both coins

https://i.snag.gy/k5cBPl.jpg users are even saying its a fork and pointing out my point in your discord

just calling it how i see it.
