I'm trying to find a good charity but I think they are all terrible

Good luck on Wisp Project. I will be watching this project with interest. By the way how are you going to fund this project Wisp please?

Hoping for good things from both projects.

WISP is planning to make the XSPEC UI better,
it has to be a real potential here. Looking forward for the development.

I would try to get more of XSPEC and WISP,... both coins are cool

I am so horny for this,I had to create an account. gunner come to XSPEC discord we need to hire you for our shitcoin, channel bulltalk-off-topic

Haha Gunner is watching, be careful.

Its fun to follow the project, its just like watching "storage hunters" you know it is fake, but you cant help yourself watching.

Hey look what i found in the back of the container a paper wallet with wispcoins, now i never have to work again.

Hopefully people will post all their questions here, and any problems or queries can be addresses here instead of in xspec thread.

I think it is worth emphasising that cryptopia and livecoin are unlikely to support any hardforks as we found out with the initial attempt by mandica to fork.

If you want your free wisp it is near certain you will need to have them off the exchange and in your own wallet.

 

Thanks for the pre-Ann Gandalf. More news to come.

Thanks for getting this posted Gandalf. I'm quite excited to be a part of this project from the start. I look forward to the progress we can make after the launch is taken care of.

Overview

The Wisp Project is an initiative of Spectrecoin (XSPEC) users who disagree with certain developments happening in the official Spectrecoin client. With the return of the original founder Mandica to Spectrecoin, the development process has turned into a top-down development style directed by Mandica, and different ways of enforcing development fees from Spectrecoin users in order to fund development have been discussed. At the Wisp Project, we believe that a cryptocurrency should be controlled by its users and not by a central authority.

For that reason, we have dedicated ourselves to providing an alternative Spectrecoin wallet that features an open decision process and does not force its users to provide funding for development, even though we encourage every user to do so in his or her own interest! We figured that going this path is the most straightforward way to turn our vision of Spectrecoin into reality.

There have also been discussions about a possible blockchain fork. If the Spectrecoin team decides to implement a hardfork to enforce development fees via the protocol, the Wisp Project will NOT support that fork, meaning that Wisp and Spectrecoin would split into two independent projects, where Wisp will maintain the original protocol. The ticker for our side of the fork will be [WISP] then. More information will be added as things progress. Since this forum is about altcoins, this thread will remain a "PRE-ANN" until a blockchain fork happens.

Update: The Spectrecoin hardfork is scheduled for 21/08/2018, 22:00 GMT!

Update: The XSPEC hardfork has happened smoothly. Now Wisp is running on the old Spectrecoin chain, every user who uses a Spectrecoin wallet before version 2.0 (1.4 and older) uses the chain that will be branded as WISP. An official announcement for this coin will follow after a independent Wisp wallet has been created by our volunteer community members.  

Update: Here is the new ANN: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-wisp-wisp-anonymous-cryptocurrency-project-spectrecoin-fork-5039051 This thread will be locked, please continue on the new thread.


About SpectreCoin

Please refer to the official SpectreCoin ANN for more information about SpectreCoin: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-spectrecoin-anonymous-tx-tor-ring-signatures-stealth-4434053

Simply put, SpectreCoin is based on the ShadowCash (SDC) codebase. It was started in 2016 with the goal of continuing and extending the idea of (now defunct) ShadowCash. SpectreCoin is a general-purpose privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses a relatively simple yet sophisticated technique for achieving anonymity, by combining stealth addresses and ring signatures. SpectreCoin was an ICO but raised only a small amount of money, so nowadays other ways of achieving continuous development have to be found.


About Wisp

Wisp has basically the same goals as SpectreCoin, the main difference is that SpectreCoin has a development fee included (16.6% of all block rewards going to the founder of SpectreCoin), while the Wisp users refuse to pay such a fee. At Wisp we are following the core ideals of Bitcoin and decentralized currencies, which also means rejecting centralized authorities and centralized development processes. We want SpectreCoin to be a top-notch privacy-supporting currency that brings the necessary social, cultural and economic changes to our society. We are advocating diversity and federation, which is one of the reasons why we are making an alternative XSPEC wallet.

We're an open community, everybody is welcome to join and start contributing right away. Please check out our Discord (invite link above).


Roadmap

Since Wisp is not lead by a dedicated team but is a joint effort between community members, there is no fixed roadmap and any suggestion will be considered. Here are some of the points that have been discussed:

• Make the Wisp wallet visually different from Spectrecoin (Qt developers welcome!)
• Develop a more robust wallet for Spectrecoin
• Mobile wallet (Android developers welcome!)
• Improvements to the core protocol
• Making a nice website for Wisp

Please ask if there are any further questions, and welcome to the Wisp community!
