Spectrum - v0.3.17+1-signed
- support bip39 passphrase
- support 12 word standard derivation path wallets
Due to historical developments, the Kaspa ecosystem features multiple wallet derivation paths. Both Spectre Desktop and the Webwallet utilize a pre-Kaspa standard known as the legacy derivation path which uses 972. Meanwhile, the Spectre standard follows the derivation path 123456 https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/pull/1771
and is implemented in Rusty Spectre and Spectred (Golang).
This release supports them all! 🙂

Re: [ANN] SPECTRE (SPR) - ghostDAG - blockDAG - AstroBWTv3 - CPU-only-PoW
More than three months since the launch and while the team advertizes SPECTRE to be a privacy coin, this is just a fork of KASPA,
without any privacy features implemented that would differentiate it from KAS. I am so disappointed.

Rusty-Spectre v0.3.15 Release
We are excited to announce the release of Rusty-Spectre node v0.3.15, which includes several important updates and enhancements:
- Typos and Annotations: Fixed multiple help typos and type annotations.
- GitHub Actions: Addressed warnings in GitHub actions.
- RPC Support: Now supports IP-only configurations for --rpclisten-borsh and --rpclisten-json.
- PSST Integration: Added support for Partially Signed Spectre Transaction (PSST).
- Watch-Only Accounts: Reintroduced support for watch-only accounts as in the Go node.
- Cross-Platform Support: Expanded build support to additional platforms including aarch64, powerpc64, and more, enhancing decentralization.
- Windows Builds: Provided options for Windows users to choose between MSVC and gnullvm builds, depending on their licensing preferences.
Build Optimization Change
Release builds will now use lto = false instead of thin for the following reasons:
1. Windows Compatibility: The thin option breaks the x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm target on Windows due to issues with linking Clang's libc++ statically under LLVM optimization. The gnullvm target is necessary to link against ucrt instead of msvc, allowing the node to run without the Visual C++ runtime. This change should potentially address issues like those seen in <https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/issues/417>
2. Stability: Using thin occasionally led to node crashes in the futures crate, especially when mixed with unsafe and C/C++ code. These crashes are difficult to reproduce but occur relatively frequently in certain scenarios.
Wallet and Node Syncing
Syncing the node is now optional if you're only using the wallet. You can connect to our public resolver, and it will handle the rest. For status updates, visit https://resolver.spectre-network.org/status
Steps:
1. Run: ./spectre-wallet
2. Type: connect mainnet
3. Type: connect

Hello, friends, I have a problem in the mining process, I attach an image of the problem I have.
https://ibb.co/Sr0L7gN
The error I have is that it is miming and after a while the mining stops and says Illegal instruction (`core' generated)
That appears to be TT-miner. I recommend asking in their Discord or opening an issue on their GitHub

Spectre Mobile Wallet Release Announcement
We are excited to announce the first public release of Spectrum (spectre-mobile) with complete Spectre Network support!
This release includes three APKs targeting different device architectures: ARM 64-bit (arm64-v8a), ARM 32-bit (armeabi-v7a), and x86 64-bit (x86_64).
Spectrum - v0.3.14
New Features:
- Network stats added to network_menu
- Mining reward calculator added to advanced_menu
- introduction of normal dark theme and AMOLED dark theme
- added own uuid and db key
We welcome contributions to the translations in the .arb files located in lib/l10n.
Spectrum - v0.3.15
This release includes a universal APK. If you're unsure which version to install, you can now simply choose the universal.apk version.
- better translations: corrected typos and ensured more consistent wording across the app
- application ID has been changed to org.spectre.wallet in v0.3.15 for a shorter and simpler identifier. Previously, we used spectrum.spectre_mobile_wallet,
so if you had version v0.3.14 installed, you may end up with two packages. It is recommended to uninstall the previous version first.
- added retry logic to the network statistics feature (retries request until it succeeds)

Transitioning to the Rust Node 🚀
We're excited to announce a major upgrade for the Spectre Network: transitioning to the Rust-based implementation of the Spectre full-node. This change is crucial for the future of Spectre, addressing the limitations of the current Go node. The Rust node ensures better performance and long-term stability.
Spectre On Rust
Welcome to the Rust-based implementation of the Spectre full-node and its ancillary libraries. This node release is a drop-in replacement for the established Golang node and is now the recommended node software for the Spectre network. It introduces developers to the possibilities of Rust within the Spectre network's context, offering enhanced performance and reliability.
Your feedback, contributions, and issue reports will be integral to evolving this codebase and ensuring its maturity as a reliable node in the Spectre network.
Download the latest Binaries from here:
<https://github.com/spectre-project/rusty-spectre/releases>
Run the node:
spectred --utxoindex
If you appreciate our efforts and would like to support the Spectre development, please consider making a donation to the devfund 👇, managed by the Spectre community.
spectre:qrxf48dgrdkjxllxczek3uweuldtan9nanzjsavk0ak9ynwn0zsayjjh7upez
Spectre Golang
Effectively from now on the Spectre Golang node is deprecated and will neither get any further updates nor downloadable `datadir2` updates. With the switch to Spectre on Rust, users are no longer required to download anything manually. The header validation with our `rusty-spectrex` algorithm library has been improved significantly allowing ordinary users to sync from scratch. The Golang repository will become read-only and archived in GitHub.

Re: [ANN] SPECTRE (SPR) - ghostDAG - blockDAG - AstroBWTv3 - CPU-only-PoW
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.
<https://spectre-network.org/>
<https://spectre-network.org/docs/Spectre-Network-Whitepaper.pdf>
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. 🙂

Announcement from Spectre Project!📌
We are thrilled to announce the release of two significant updates from the Spectre Project!
-----------------------------------------------------
SpectreX: Versatile CPU Mining Algorithm Library ⚡
We are excited to introduce SpectreX, a versatile CPU mining algorithm library, which will soon be integrated with our Rust full-node daemon.
What is SpectreX?
SpectreX features the AstroBWTv3 algorithm, a proof-of-work (PoW) system based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT). This is the world’s first implementation of AstroBWTv3 entirely written in Rust, without any external C dependencies. It relies solely on various Rust crates, offering a fully native Rust solution.
Improvements and Optimizations
The old version of the algorithm used a method called SA-IS for sorting. We improved it with SACA-K, but it could only use one CPU core at a time. Now, we use pSACAK, a new method that can use multiple CPU cores simultaneously, making it faster and more efficient.
There are still many ways to make the AstroBWTv3 method even better, such as:
- Replacing most steps with highly optimized inline assembler code on CPU.
- Partitioning the Suffix Array and offloading sorting to GPUs to significantly boost performance.
We encourage developers to optimize individual calculation steps to evolve the algorithm over time and mature the codebase.
Thank you for being a part of our community and supporting the Spectre Project.

-----------------------------------------------------
SpectreX Rust Miner: CPU Miner 🚀
We are also excited to introduce the SpectreX Rust Miner, a high-performance CPU miner for mining Spectre.
Features:
- Supports Linux, Windows, and macOS.
- Easy installation from binaries or source.
- Compatible with both Golang node and upcoming **Spectre on Rust**.
Quick Start Guide:
1. Download pre-compiled binaries from our GitHub release page.
2. Run the following to start mining: `./spectre-miner --mining-address spectre:XXXXX`
Please note that it is the reference implementation to demonstrate the Rust version of SpectreX with AstroBWTv3. Every mining software developer is invited to improve the performance of the miner and the algorithm library!

For the miner to work, make sure your node is running and fully synchronized.
Re: [ANN] SPECTRE (SPR) - ghostDAG - blockDAG - AstroBWTv3 - CPU-only-PoW
only cpu?
Indeed, only CPU. Due to the implementation of AstroBWT, GPUs are not efficient for mining. AstroBWT's algorithm design inherently disadvantages GPUs, making them less effective compared to CPUs. This is intentional to promote decentralization

Happy to announce the Spectre Desktop wallet availability, it can be downloaded at:
<https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-desktop/releases/tag/v0.3.14>
<https://spectre-network.org/downloads/>
This will be the last release of the legacy Golang and Node.JS components. Next Station of our high speed train is the Rust drop in replacement with SpectreX for the Spectre node daemon.
