The shills keep on trying but they provide no answers to any of this
I just wanted to update with the simple fact that @jbg was NOT part of this project from the beginning and does not have a huge XSPEC stake. I hired @jbg at a later stage, months into the project, to carry out specific work and I also hired another programmer that since left for the people who follow our story. So, @jbg has in fact been instrumental in bringing the new releases out and to work on the next version. He was hired by me and we have had meetings (online & in person) and worked out details around future releases. I have paid for @jbg and Bryce out of my own pocket to keep this running after the ICO funds were spent so I have confidence in the fact that @jbg will deliver what he says.
Why are you still not addressing my findings? wouldn't that put all of this to rest?

His name is JBG, not JPG. The fact that you don’t even know his correct handle can automatically discredit anything you have to say.
On Saturday he did NOT say that wallet V1.4 would be released. He said he would have an update regarding the time remaining to complete the update within 48 hours. Just a huge difference, no big deal. He has been in the Discord the last 3 days answering questions. He lost a family member and you maniacs are out here screaming scam.
I don’t know about you, but I would much prefer him giving full disclosure about needing to sell some coins for a flight.
Do you people seriously think a person would run a “scam” this long to make a measly 5 figures? If he was some super shady character with programming and coding talent don’t you think he would’ve come up with a more elaborate plan to acquire a life changing sum of money, not just enough to get by?
XSPEC is already better than pretty much every other privacy coin than Monero, so we’re really not worried about it. Development will continue with JBG and some new devs that are coming aboard.
Maybe you should go have a look at XVG’s shitty code, and terrible privacy features with over a billion dollar market cap.
You are calling out another member for typing JPG over JBG? pretty easy mistake, maybe hes a graphic designer?
Any way, your comments have no bounds, they probably expected this thing to hit $20 a coin, in that case it becomes 6+ figures.
If you've lost money I'm sorry for you, but exposing this while it's got such a low market cap is far better than doing it after the value has grown, scams should always be called as scams.
Yes he did say Feb, even their banner on their reddit page says 1.4 coming Feb 2018, see for yourself
https://www.reddit.com/r/XSPEC/XSPEC is not better than XVG or Monero, sorry, but Monero has proven itself.
Perhaps you've brought up some valid doubts about the project, but you've failed right from the beginning by calling it a scam. Even if all your claims can be accepted without refutation and there is zero new development (which I highly doubt - how much work is local or unavailable to you at this moment), who is being scammed and how? As mentioned, it's open source and community-driven. It will continue to be that way regardless of the challenges that we encounter. That's why some people are dismissing this as nothing more than FUD.
Doubt all you like, but hey without doing any research, how can you doubt? typical shill response.

No one has failed by calling it a scam, it's full of lies, lacks any work, false promises etc.
When you have a guy in his 20s claiming he has 20+ years experience and has done near no work over a year while claiming he works full time, claiming 5 minute changes as new big improvements, claiming things will be done soon which never get done, what more do you need before calling it a scam?
Any way..
Gunner has added a nice post to his thread, it's worth reading for sure:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.31656875Looks like I got an answer to the lack of coding too.
5) The brand new excuse for the lack of core changes is that he is building the foundation for the future and he is learning the code base. 9 months to do a few library updates, UI changes and learn a code base? Guess what it would happen if you had this record of achievements after 9 months in a real software company working full time. I personally would not pass the probation period even for a junior developer with these results. To not forget that there is supposedly also another dev working on this project.
Gunners points about how this would fly in the real world is spot on too, even some one straight out of university with 0 experience wouldn't pass probation with this lack of work ethic and skill.
