I have a mysterious behavior with a new wallet. After unlocking my wallet for staking, the message above the lock image tells me "wallet is encrypted and unlocked for staking only", but the dollar image to the right tells me "not staking because wallet ist locked". What's going wrong here? I get no stakes.

Working with wallet version 4.1.0.5 on ubuntu linux 18.04.3 LTS.

NEW RELEASE v.4.1

We are proud to release v4.1, now with 'mnemonic seed' backup and improved network security with an upgrade to TOR Hidden Services v3. Please have a look at the following links for more information and guides to upgrade. Please also retweet.

Yeah some whale is massively cashing out right now. If you look at the trades on Livecoin, it's not a steady selling pressure, they're always eating the entire set of buy walls at once. And if you're looking at the selling side of the order book, you can see some patterns there as well. That's a single person, he/she is not going to be able to keep doing this forever.    On the long term this is good because it evens out the coin distribution. The more people hold coins, the better because it strengthens the consensus.

Btw. the Bitcoin chart doesn't look so bad IMO because it's still aligned with the exponential wave pattern that we've been witnessing during the previous halving periods. But that's a bit off-topic here I guess.  

Oblivion is an evocative word-choice but 'toiling in obscurity with little recompense' is perhaps a more accurate projection of negative-outcome.

Just parsing terms here... if "oblivion" is meant as a low price per XSPEC/SPECTRE unit; that's a supply-and-demand issue at root.  Specifically, those who have held this coin are selling it (for whatever reasons) in greater proportion than those buying it.  Perhaps some of them are devs or whales that need to pay some bills, perhaps it's because the BTC chart doesn't look great technically (and BTC's a bellwether for cryptocurrencies generally [ https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage] ).  As an accumulator persistently/stubbornly trying to coax some action onto the Bisq platform (oh look... there's another willing-to-buy XSPEC offer at more than 60% higher price than anything being traded on Livecoin     ), I don't mind the lower price.  BTW, the links at the bottom of the October 2019 newsletter listed a handful of honeypot centralized-exchanges (anyone remember that Cryptopia fiasco?) but neglected to include a link here: https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=xspec_btc .

If "oblivion" is meant in the sense of a "dead coin" (no-one staking, no exchanges, no devs, the users gnash their teeth but don't have the technical skills to do anything substantive or aren't "social media influencers") I think that's really unlikely.

Most coins have their bandwagons, the people that have invested time and money supporting it.  In the case of privacy-coins it would be a tough sell to dislodge say people involved in promoting PIVX, or Monero, or Verge, Zcoin, Bulwark, etc.  Should the marketing be tailored to people already interested and historically-invested in other cryptocurrencies or should it be directed at those who haven't yet touched a single cryptocurrency (maybe heard about BTC from time-to-time)?

Bisq, if it's not dropped for lack of trading volume  [see: https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/list-asset.html under the heading 'Inactive assets will be de-listed'].  But maybe the centralized exchanges in the long-run that will permit listing of privacy coins (helping to keep freedom alive and the statist panopticon at bay) will be in non-OECD countries only ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OECD ).  Good luck with that.

Alas that this project went by the boards (when the price of Ether dropped precipitously) : https://www.cointrust.com/news/varyon-token-funding-autonomous-crypto-nation-project-goes-on-sale
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=varyon+seastead&t=canonical&ia=web Currently, I think the Horizen people are the only crypto currently filling some of the breach with the Seasteading people.

The Spectrecoin October 2019 newsletter is out. Welcome @Tom14 as a team developer and get a small preview of the upcoming v4.1 with mnemonic seed wallets. We have also listed all the Spectrecoin wallets operated by the foundation in the interest of transparency.

Marketing is needed so that as many people as possible learn about this cryptocurrency and its advantages, otherwise oblivion awaits.

One thing that Spectrecoin has going for it is that it has kept up with the evolution of OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/) .  I've noticed that some alts -- which haven't done their homework and are floating along with old BTC-code -- are underpinned by obsolete OpenSSL versions and one has to actively dumb-down their system to get the alt to compile in more modern variants of Linuxes and BSDs (Unix-based systems).

The fact that Spectrecoin has devs that seem to be on-task (or at least hanging in the wings to be brought in if necessary) contributes to long-term viability.

So what?!       I'm not personally interested in people putting a shingle out motivated primarily by their vanity or those who take solace in arguments-by-authority (by wanting to stand behind someone who goes by the same name as their mother knows them as).  The technology is all-important; whether it's a pseudonym or a verified person... in the long-run, not so much.

Example A: Satoshi Nakomoto
Example B: Various anonymous contributors at phrack.org
Example C: Various anonymous contributors to https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ / https://nostarch.com/gtfo / https://nostarch.com/gtfo2
Example D: Various anonymous contributors to ___ [anything selling the steak and not the sizzle]

If I misunderstood and you're griping about there not being a rampant and all-encompassingly pervasive social media campaign see the above [social media is a hook for the NSA and other oppressing/statist (or otherwise malignant) classes of persons to data-mine themselves into emotionally-driven peoples' affairs if you haven't figured that out yet].

Yes I think it would be important to establish the legitimacy of the blockchain by getting real users on board. The technology is all good, the increase of the coin supply lead to a significant price decrease, this was expected. But what gives a blockchain its value is not the technology or the dedication of the team behind it, but the size of the group of people that believes in the consensus encoded by the blockchain. Only by giving real users a real advantage from using this coin and establishing legitimacy we can increase the value of the blockchain, which ensures ongoing development.

Not visible team work in terms of marketing!

The Spectrecoin network just underwent a successful hard-fork for the purpose of funding long term development.

The first Spectrecoin v4 block was block #1288352 (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/block.dws?1288352.htm) and only v4 wallets will now be able to connect and stake.

If you are still using a v3 wallet you must upgrade ASAP and do not conduct any transactions from a v3 wallet as you may loose coins. All the exchanges have now upgraded their wallets to v4.

Spectrecoin v4.x has been released. Please upgrade ASAP!

This is to remind everyone of the planned hard-fork on Friday 27/09/2019 (27th September 2019) @ 2000 hours (GMT) (1569614400 unix epoch time). This is a MANDATORY upgrade and you will need to get the v4.x wallet up and running ahead of the hard-fork to be able to continue staking.

ALWAYS use the official download links. NEVER download the Spectrecoin wallet from anywhere else!

There is also a good chance of some free coins on our Discord server through the Panda Bot!

The Spectrecoin exchanges are not US ....and not the KYC large exchanges that are taking this step at this time.
Livecoin, Crex24, Altilly, also Citex and TXbit are in different parts of the world .
bisq ,of course is decentralized.
Also, an alternative is with the addition of Panda-Bot to the Spectrecoin discord server this past July......it can act as an escrow agent. This saves the hassle of having to round up a trusted third party ie:escrow agent.....which adds time to a transaction.
So all in all, Spectrecoin is in good shape and is also always looking for reliable, secure and dependable exchanges.

If XSPEC is delisted from centralized exchanges, as happening to other privacy tokens, where do you think its highest trading volume will be?

Livecoin is 50% of the time on maintenance (if not more). They were in maintenance before the fork was broadcasted.
Nothing will happen to coins as long as they are upgrading to v4 and dont open deposit/withdrawals with a v3 wallet after the 27th.

The main exchange Livecoin blocked the wallet probably because of the upcoming fork? Can you help us with this, when this will be fixed and what will happen if our coins don't move by then?
Thanks

What version does the wallet have that was used?

The best way to get help is to go to #support in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/ckkrb8m

Coins not visible in the wallet, how to cancel a transaction?

This is not with me, I decided to help another person.
