I challenge you to find another project that has Tor integrated in the same way and has Tor as default. Just this makes Spectrecoin different. They will also make sure that the wallet works in Tor censored countries.

I think you are celebrating for the wrong reasons.

1. It's not spectrecoin that has tor by default, but the wallet. It doesn't bring anything to the coin it's self. In fact for mass adoption I do expect to have other wallets too. Depending on a single software and team is a bad idea
2. Integrating a tor bridge is trivial work. Nothing is stopping other developers to integrate them in a wallet of any currency, hence why it's not considered sufficient moat to keep it is a top coin. Anybody can catch up without much costs (and no, it's not the only wallet with tor integration, and not even the first).
3. Monero doesn't integrate tor into the default wallet because it's not necessary. People who have an actual inclination for privacy let alone reasons will use tor anyway on the entire machine. It's not like you can get on .onion websites without or really need this privacy on other websites. It will be implemented when needed.

I think that the developers are really clever and if you have the knowledge, have a look at the GitHub and see how they are making it all. Spectrecoin is solid tech, proof-of-stake

Yes, it's solid. So was shadowcoin from which it was forked from. Not much substance added on github since then though. And if you have the "knowledge" to check that it will become obvious how little has actually changed.

Sorry to burst your bubble. It's a good coin, and I think it's pretty private (that is if the devs have finally raised the ring size from 1 - haven't checked in the last 6 months. In general I would consider anything below 7 as risky AF. I understand there aren't enough transactions to raise the size but under the current condition I wouldn't use it for anything where actual anonymity would be required) but it doesn't revolutionize anything.
