Hints for Spectrum

This Release contains Spectrum, a plugin for running specter via an Electrum Server instead of using a full node. However, the plugin is in beta and in order to use it, you need to explicitely allow beta-plugins. In order to do that via a binary-executable:

• Download and start as usual
• Open specter/preferences
• Open "Advanced"
• Insert --devstatus-threshold beta in the "Specterd CLI args"
• Also you might want to use a different data directory in order to separate the experiment from your normal setup. On Linux/Mac you could do that by adding those 2 things: --devstatus-threshold beta --specter-data-folder ~/.specter_spectrum.
• Save and quit specter
• restart
• Don't be surprised as you now won't see your usual wallets/devices anymore. Remove the above "Specterd CLI args" and you should be back to normal.
