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

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

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.
