FAQ

This is a little FAQ for the Spectre project, written by me, Gandalf86 (bitcoinx). This FAQ is an extension to the official FAQ on the project homepage: http://spectreproject.io/faq/ .

My wallet has stopped syncing.

1. Go to the debug console (Tools -> Debug, then the "Console" tab)
2. Type "rewindchain 1000" and hit Enter.
3. Wait for your wallet to sync

This problem will hopefully be fixed in a future version of the wallet.

My balance disappeared from my wallet!

That's because it is displayed incorrectly, your coins are still there. It's a visual glitch that has existed in this wallet since the beginning of the project. Future wallet versions will hopefully make these problems a thing of the past. You can still stake and send/receive coins, it will simply not be displayed. Sometimes restarting the wallet might help, and you can also check your balance on the block explorer here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/

How can I stake?

See http://spectreproject.io/faq/#block9 (What is staking?) and http://spectreproject.io/faq/#block10 (How do I stake?)

There is also a more detailed guide on this topic, written by me: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/crypto-intro-guide/wiki/Proof-of-Stake

I'm getting "Timed out waiting for onion host name"

Please try restarting your wallet. This issue will be fixed in future wallet versions
