The coins in my wallet are captured! How do I send the coins in my private wallet to a public address like Cryptopia? When I try to perform a balance transfer to move the coins to my public wallet, I receive the error: "Error: Invalid Stealth address."
!!! I want my coins!
Edit: So since this project spun off from ShadowCash, it looks like by doing a "balance transfer" of my coins to a private address, it destroyed my SpectreCoins in the process and I am left with useless "SpectreTokens?" Is that correct? So the only way to fully transact privately with this coin is to convert SpectreCoins into useless SpectreTokens?
https://doc.shadowproject.io/#introduction25"ShadowTokens (SDT)
In order to transact anonymously, we have introduced an anonymous token, which we will refer to as Shadow. Shadow can be minted, destroying SDC (ShadowCash) in the process, and outputting a group of Shadow tokens totalling the same value (minus the transaction fee) of the destroyed SDC. Shadow Tokens take form of outputs on the ShadowCash blockchain and each one of them has its own private and public key.
SDT is only spendable by providing a traceable ring signature to prove ownership of a token of the same value.
Once a Shadow Token is created, we can claim a different output in pool of the same value, by providing a traceable ring signature. We provide a keyImage of the private key to prevent double spending.
To increase the pool of outputs available for ring signatures, the SDC value is broken up into separate Shadow Tokens for each decimal place of the total value. The tokens are further broken up into values of 1, 3, 4 and 5. For example 1.7 SDC would become 3 tokens of values 1.0, 0.3 and 0.4.
For clarity: ShadowCash (SDC) is the native public token, ShadowTokens - aka Shadow - is the private token."
Does this mean I have 367.2480570 worthless SpectreTokens that I can't convert into anything???
Edit2: Guess I am waiting at least 3-6 months to use my coins. AWESOME!

Stealth addresses and transactions become the default.
https://www.reddit.com/r/XSPEC/comments/77cq6u/can_i_send_from_exchange_to_stealth_address/ Can I send from exchange to stealth address?
No. Our current exchanges don't support stealth transactions. If you want to anonymize your transaction from exchange to wallet, just create a new, unused address for receiving. Note that the exchange still knows your IP address, personal details etc.
Do stealth addresses appear on the block explorer?
No. Stealth addresses (when sending normal coins to it) are basically a blind alias for real addresses that appear on the block explorer. Each time a stealth address receives some funds, they go to a different address, so that the payments are not linkable.
