I'm afraid, TokenPay will totally get away with this. Plus they will raise a lot of money. Sad

For me, the lesson to learn here is again the importance of marketing. If SpectreCoin was known to a wider public, they couldn't pull this off. Now they compare themselves to Bitcoin, Monero, Dash and ZCash. And it only occurs to very few that SpectreCoin is missing from the list. This seems to be the main problem for me. Being widely known would give us a protection from being copied so blatantly.

Contrary to what it seems, this favors the marketing of SpectreCoin.

Our community feels the obligation to warn investors, about the high probability of buying a fraud, in the TokenPay ICO.

I see what you say, but if they actually pursue their goals in their whitepaper and capitalize on what you have achieved, combined with their aggressive marketing, they may have an advantage in moving the same technology (invented/put together by SpectreCoin) towards mainstream adoption. By now, they have collected 13% of the market cap of XSPEC and not a day passed yet from their ICO.

On the other hand, your reasoning may prevail if our community keeps up the pressure and keeps debunking this fraud on their Twitter and on their forum here on Bitcointalk as well, so that those who are interested in the technology can invest in the original and not in the copied version that costs 5 times the price and more. So I think it is crucial now that our community is actively protesting on their forums.

As I see, so far we are quite active there fortunately!

Add some nodes to spectrecoin.conf (make spectrecoin.conf first if you don't have one already: usually C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SpectreCoin in Windows; /Users//Library/Application Support/SpectreCoin/spectrecoin.conf in Mac; home//.spectrecoin/spectrecoin.conf in Linux).

You can find nodes at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/#!network (click 'node list'). Pick whichever you like (or all of them).

Or, paste in these nodes, all of which are currently on the newest wallet release:

Code:

addnode=25nwxyoiy7j3tomg.onion
addnode=4hpfcwkaobzjyuoh.onion
addnode=55m7bjlrjgi3hxmw.onion
addnode=6cak5pudkacxbqcm.onion

addnode=x5qxpak4424x5ecy.onion
addnode=zf34lk4sirmkmfxh.onion
addnode=zus5noyoukc6g4zg.onion

Syncing will take a couple of hours (ish) once you're connected to the network.

Wow, isn't this covered by the open source license somehow?

At least, we should make some noise on their forum about this. I have already joined the conversation there:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.25935141
TokenPay has already collected 42 BTC in 6 hours for selling "their" coins for more than 2$ each.

We could also go to their Twitter: https://twitter.com/tokenpay

I am new here, so I don't really want to dictate what to do in the defense of SpectreCoin, but this really smells like injustice. Besides, I invested in SpectreCoin, and I believe it is in our interest to come up with this now. Later they could even use the argument against us that why we didn't say anything?

xspec is going to have some competition soon in the form of tokenpay. Stealth, addresses, ring signatures, tor and using the bitcoin block chain. Seems like a once in a blue moon type ico opportunity and the bonuses and insane.

TokenPay copied the SpectreCoin wallet and also its blockchain, we are the originals they are the copy.
There is no competition, if they ever succeed, they owe us a public recognition, now they lie when they assign their base to Shadowcash.
TokenPay is simply a copy of SpectreCoin with another name.
Pride for SpectreCoin, shame for TokenPay.

I like the idea, Spectre sounds too "dark".

Well, it's SpectreCoin [xspec]...and a name change to anything else
simply isn't going to happen.

@Bitman86 - Thanks for continuation of the "bounty"....and all you do!

You know what? I actually agree with that. Also I have been one of the people who proposed alternative, "catchier" names in the past, I think I proposed calling it "HALO" back then (quite the opposite of dark and shady, you see? Wink

But still protective).

I like the idea, Spectre sounds too "dark".

How can I participate in the bounty program?

There is a bounty program very easy to win, if you have a Twitter account that is authentic,
(the account can not be created just for this, you must have more than 24 followers).
Search on Twitter: Leo Bitman, 1º follow to know about SpectreCoin, 2º ReTw for others to know,
and 3º you send a public address, (the ones start with the uppercase letter: "S")
and that is all, I will send you a "Free Sample of 10.00 XSPEC".
You can receive your 10 XSPEC, approximately in 2/4 days.

It is a very personal program, I just want to say that everything is still valid and that it will continue until 2018.

Great useful project! Good luck!

It is true it is an excellent project, we are in the beginning but we already have a better product than others
who have been in this for years. We are now a small team, but growing a lot.
For the year 2018 the plans consist of prioritizing the development of Marketing,
with the name chosen by the community: SpectreCoin (Spectrecoin).
In this way we will consider Marketing as important as the software development in 2018.
