We are just doing what other coins are doing, we find a code base that suits are needs and work from that. No scam here.

Kind of like Litecoin copied Bitcoin and Shadowcash copied Blackcoin etc. This is the nature of open source, read up a bit and educate yourself. Read a bit more

...or is Monero a copy of something? I wonder

The point is not that you are "forking" an open source project, but that you
1. replace the copyright notices (why even?)
2. advertise functions you did not develop as if you built them
3. there is zero development work compared to the original
4. not even a whitepaper of what you want to do
5. you not even let someone trusted do the escrow of your ICO

Come on Xalib, you registered today just to FUD us? You must feel threatened and obviously you exist as someone else on this forum. Why don't you come to Slack and discuss instead?

I notice that the FUD is coming from users that seem to post on the SDC forum? Do you really feel so offended by a clone of SDC? Scared we will take users?

I'm a long term member here, this isn't FUD. What you've done is disgraceful, and is a scam on any investors you get. Shame on you.

I registered because I am quite angry because of such a shameless scam.

>obviously you exist as someone else on this forum
actually I don't.
But you are "brand new", too. Why don't you use your usual name?
Because you are the one SPEC guy, the scammer.

Somebody just cloned the ShadowCash code and rebranded it to SpectreCoin.
He is in direct violation of the MIT license. He replaced the Shadow copyright statement 686 times. He left the Blackcoin, Novacoin, Bitcoin copyright notices.

He opened this thread to scam ICO funds:

Also the scammer is ofc trying to hide his identity to avoid legal actions:

All functions SpectreCoin is advertising are SDC functions. There was not made any further development than changing name, copyright notices and color.

Since the thread is self-moderated he is deleting all posts which unmask his scam.
