Yes, SPEC is based on SDC and uses the same tech. This is a very good platform to work from and to develop the mobile platform for alternative remittance. If you read the website, it does in fact state that SPEC is based on SDC and it explains why. Nothing to strange about that, 90% of all cryptos are based on previous ones, to expand and take in a different direction. SDC is based on Bitcoin but they have developed a HTML wallet that is perfectly suited to our ultimate goal.

We have never tried to obscure that...what is your point?

Again, yes, it is based on SDC in the same way as, say Litecoin is based on Bitcoin etc. etc. so that is why so many crypto wallets look the same. This is a feature of open source, to develop and change. This project will take it in a different direction and make changes. I don't know why you find it strange that one crypto is based on another. This has been the case for years. Maybe there aren't so many that are based on SDC.

ED: and it's a bit more than just a logo as I am sure you know. Why do you think there are so few SDC clones?

Why is it a problem to use a platform which is already available to create a new one.

Established altcoins are a great starting platform and they already contains a lot of features. The developers can build upon it and make their coin superior to the original coin.
 Would you also say that Burstcoin and HZ are scam coins, because they are built on NXT?
 The same goes for Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Classic and all other implementations.

You will also have to show proof of the statement below:

hello i just want to know is there any social media bounties or another bounties?

The Tor and I2P, yes for sure, once the initial release is out. There is no issues with tracking SDC with the market place but it is also possible that the 'market place' tab will be replaced by something else. The main purpose here is to get a mobile platform for remittance using SPEC. There should be an announcement soon with a road map for this. Maybe 2-3 days. That is really the main purpose.

Yes, the plan is roughly:
1. Finalise the code and generate the initial 20 mill. SPEC
2. Open the GitHub repo to the public, so yes it will be open source, just not until the code is finalised.
3. Release Windows Qt, Mac Qt and Linux Qt
4. A pre-alpha "blueprint" of the Spectre.Cash alternative remittance mobile platform will be presented.
5. More information on the team will be released.

This will be completed ahead of the start of the ICO, so you will be able to review the source and download the wallets.

Distribution will commence immediately after the end of the ICO.

Exchanges will be contacted as we are progressing through to distribution.

6. Spectre.Cash alternative remittance mobile platform will continue to be developed. The app will not be open source until after the app has been released into the "wild".
7. The app will only be using SPEC for transfers.

Just joined slack and followed the twitter account for further developments in Spectre.

Thanks for the awesome and insightful contribution. But, no, no shit, just a brilliant coin with some mobile infrastructure to go with it.

Sent a reply back to OP about the community manager position.

Also curious - if this is going to be an ICO, what are the generated funds being allocated towards?

Many projects (most recently BASH) proposed ridiculous ICO requests with no explanation as to why the money was needed.

Cheers!
