in the 1st of may update that i linked in my previous post, they address the topic of stealth staking and the approaches they want to take on it, things look better and better; jbg was the main reason of the FUD and he left, the new team is transparent and they hired new devs + new website underway

seems the project is back on track after all the FUD that has been plaguing around in the recent months https://news.spectreproject.io/xspec-development-continues/

lol the coin almost doubled in price over the last few days, i guess people start getting excited for that fork

XSPEC gonna fork on 1st of may so expect a price rise in the following days (there was a 20% price jump in the last 3 days already)

everyone's shitting on this coin because they did not deliver stealth staking yet - they never said they'll release it now, they promised a release at the end of Q2, so how about everyone holds their horses and see if they really deliver or not, this discussion is going to be much more productive in july

2 users claimed this coin is scam, 0 users gave any reason for this claim, c'mon people give us some details, why do you think it's scam? nobody gives any details because the coin is actually legit

I did my research and bought some XSPEC awhile ago, now I'm just waiting for it to blow up, I'll HODL for at least 2 years

your post is snotty, you attack other posts and act like this forum owes you something; i'll choose to be polite instead and ask you to do your own research

I've never seen someone saying XSPEC is scam and also bring a logical argument; keep in mind sometimes the most vocal users are also the least knowledgeable, some these people bought at ATH hoping for a quick buck and panicked when the price dropped so now they're venting out.

XSPEC with the existing tech is already one of the best privacy coins, if they keep their promise and develop the project further with new stuff it will be a powerhouse for privacy coins for sure, for now price will stay low because the coin is not listed on big exchanges yet, that does not make the coin bad, it just needs time to get listed on other exchanges and for more people to know about it - it's still a new project in this ocean of cryptocoins.

Well, technically, if we follow your logic of ICON being worth 10x value of XSPEC: ICON has a marketcap of 1.55billion(with ~381mil. coins in circulation), that would put XSPEC at a marketcap of 155mil (~21mil. coins in circulations).

Currently XSPEC has a marketcap of 35mil. so if it'd grow to 155mil. that would be about ~4.5x price increase (from current 1.6$ per coin to about 7.2$).

You either agree that XSPEC will grow or you don't really understand how these cryptocoins work at all, which makes your opinion very helpful. Thanks.

People complaining about red flags - let's debate a little about these so-called red flags. Which ones ? People shilling the coin ? When a coin saves 10% of the total circulating supply and use that budget for aggressive marketing everyone gets hyped, but when people read about a promising tech and discuss it on the forums it's shilling - it's not just black and white, people need to do their own research.

XSPEC team does not have a budget for marketing and they never asked / encouraged anyone to shill this coin. They do not want to artificially increase the price, they did not keep an X% amount of coins for their own "product development", they want to develop some good tech and they're actively working on it. Users that choose to believe in this tech and promote it in their own way can affect the coin's public image (for better or worse), but that does not make the tech bad, it remains the same.

I also love people focusing on the promises while discarding the existing implementations.

-easy-to-use working wallet,  POSv3, TOR + OBFS4 support, stealth addresses, ring signatures already make the coin better than 90% of the existing altcoins, yet people cry that stealth staking is not implemented - it's like saying that you got only 2 lambos but you were promised 4 lambos so it's clearly vaporware.
-going back to stealth staking: they promised to implement it at around the end of Q2, it's not end of june yet - you don't hear children cry that santa did not bring their presents in august yet people find it totally natural to bitch that stealth staking is not implemented yet.
-why is the stealth staking tech not public ? as simple as it is, people still find it hard to accept: if they found a way to do it, they HAVE to keep it secret in order to make sure they will be the first ones to implement it, they don't have the manpower to implement it tomorrow but other coins with big bucks can do it - just as in real world, every company that designs a new product will keep everything secret about it until it hits the market.

Bottom line: yes, buying XSPEC at 1.64$ considering the total circulating supply is a legit advice

XSPEC - read about the coin's tech and then you can decide for yourself if people are shilling it or it is indeed a really good and undervalued coin

I've been reading around the topic of privacy coins but there's a lot of info and sometimes it can be confusing.

To keep it short, there's the ones with the big marketcap (monero, verge, zcash) and then there's also the ones with small marketcap (xspec, deeponion, sumo, etc.), no coin yet has the stealth staking feature and so far only the guys at XSPEC claimed they're going to implement it. If they do so sucessfully, will it make XSPEC have the best tech when it comes to privacy coins ?

Anyone who spent at least 10min reading about this coin knows this is at worst a promising coin and at best one of the top anonymous coins; people got excited over it and started promoting it in lots of threads on this forum (which can be annoying and mistaken for a marketing scheme) but with them, the opposite type of people sprouted, trying their hardest to bring arguments against it.

This is still a coin with a low market cap for now and with no popularity until recently so why are some users so invested in promoting xspec as a bad coin? I tend to believe some (or maybe most) just try to bring the coin value low so they can buy more coins now when it's still cheap.

This thread is basically just OP hating on the fact that spectrecoin gonna have anonymous staking, which in his mind it's this ungodly impossible tech; good news man, nobody needs you to believe it's legit and nobody needs to prove anything to you - as you already saw in the replies yet refused to acknowledge, wait for the source code and for the tech to be implemented and if that wont satisfy you, then you can spam all you want about how bad this coin is

check out xspec and the growth it had these recent days, this is only the beginning, if you want to learn more please go and read about the coin i wont try to convince you, you need to decide yourself if it's what you're looking for

the same question is being asked almost on a daily basis, the truth is nobody knows and logic often times does not help - it's all speculation for now
