http://explorer.cloakcoin.com
Currently we're also working on the Final Wallet to make it ready for release.
In addition we will also get a new refreshed Website from our Designer Team 
We're also working on some big changes for the project that will be announced alongside the release of the Final Wallet.
Thank you all for your continued patience and support.
We will post another update in the near future with other news.
A bright future awaits us all

A Good Morning to you all,
Some of you may have seen the recent news about the NSA being able to decrypt a significant portion of internet traffic secured using Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DH), which has been in the news and on Reddit very recently:
"How is NSA breaking so much crypto?""
https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/haldermanheninger/how-is-nsa-breaking-so-much-crypto/
and
"Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice"
https://weakdh.org/imperfect-forward-secrecy-ccs15.pdf
We just wanted to take this opportunity to put your minds at ease and remind you that the key exchange mechanism at the heart of CloakShield utilizes Eliptical Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH), so we (and you) are not affected by this. Our use of ECDH, coupled with the fact that CloakShield regularly cycles and regenerates the keys used for ECDH key exchange goes a long way to providing you additional security. We will of course keep abreast of any further developments and modify the internals of the CloakShield system as needed in order to mitigate or avoid any potential future attack vectors. Your safety, security and peace of mind is, as always, of utmost importance to us!
Have a wonderful Friday (and fabulous weekend)
♥ Peace and Love ♥

I found an interesting consistent pattern in altcoins world. When dev team need finalize new technology they start writing that they need more time for family (girls, boys, cats or dogs or something else)... Hey, Cachemen, Team Cloak, what do you think about it? Peace and Love! 
Exactly! This isn't about a quick sprint to pump the price and dump our holdings. This is going to be a long journey and some stability outside of the crypto world is very important, both for us as a team and for you all as the community [and hopefully as future team members ]. Many of the team have families, homes and jobs to balance for now and until things have progressed to the point where Cloak (or what it is slowly evolving into) can sustain both us and you, we need to try our best to maintain that balance. There have been some mad sprints to get us to this point, but going forward, things are (and will hopefully continue to be) a lot more balanced and consistent. Smoke and mirrors serve no-one, and wishy-washy promises and crazy deadlines don't help either. We are indeed moving forward, like many rivers flowing towards a sea of perpetual love. As always, we appreciate your support, good will and patience, and will do our best to exceed your expectations in good time. We will continue to announce releases and updates in advance, but not too far ahead of time. We are still plugging away at the final wallet and myriad other elements that are needed for the future of this project.
You are all as much to this project as we are, regardless of how many coins you own or plan to own. We all feel that this should be something wholly inclusive, where all are welcome and all have an opportunity to board the bus in future, without spending money they don't have. All we ask is that you bring with you the spirit of positivity and togetherness, because that is what the heart of this project is made of <3
The days of competition, for us, are coming to an end. The future we are dreaming is built on a foundation of cooperation and mutual respect. Our goal is a self-sustaining digital eco-system, a blueprint for a better world. Good luck to everyone, may we all succeed and prosper together.
Much love from us all, to you all, we are all One
Team Cloak
ps. In terms of what's going on with core development at present - we're currently working on the fail-safe system for anonymous transactions, which will renegotiate a PoSA transaction in the background to ensure they always succeed (providing there are enough peers on the network. We can't quite work miracles just yet...). This is by far the biggest change (or set of changes) contained in the Security Audit Report recommendations, so it's taking some time - as expected. So far, so good though! Some of the team have also been having a short holiday break (both physical and metaphorical), but rest assured, we are indeed back in our seats at our respective desks
pps. This project is all about community. We have no secrets, so please ask away if you have any questions. If you ask the right questions, who knows what crazy and wonderful things you'll discover

 Dear Friends
Patience is an important virtue for projects such as this One. This was always going to be a wondrous journey of discovery (both of self and others) and these things take time to do well and do right. We appreciate impatience comes with the territory, especially in this 'Crypto' realm, but it really does serve no-one well. This is not a quick sprint to a small pot of gold for a select few; more of a voyage we are taking together into the relative unknown, toward a brighter future, with hope and love for us all
We will not entertain negativity, it does neither us or you any good. Of course, that's the same thing as after-all, we are you and you are us! Staring at the price on exchanges all day is not going to do your mind any good - there are far more fun and enjoyable uses for your precious time. Go for a walk, do something that makes you (or someone else) laugh or smile. The road is not a short one and we must walk it together if we really are going to make all our dreams come true. If the current pace of things is getting you down, then please get involved. This is a project for us all, and we all have a part to play.
We are progressing towards the fabled Final Wallet, and it will be released as soon as it's ready. We are not charlatans trying to rob you. Have faith and that faith will be rewarded in due course. Please remember that we love you all, and this is what gives us the power to achieve these lofty goals - together, as One.
Peace, Love and Togetherness,
Team Cloak

Dear Cloak Community, Just a quick note to let you know that all is well. We are still working towards the Final Wallet release but have been taking a short break to work and spend time with families. We are also working on some big changes for the project that will be announced alongside the release of the Final Wallet. Thank you all for your continued patience and support. A bright future awaits us all Peace and Love, Team Cloak |

Hello,
i get that message after synchronizing my wallet (windows10):
"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for blockchain to download, or notify developers"
I have various active connections to the network and the green checkmark suggests "up to date". I ran the wallet for a few hours yesterday and today for another hour, the warning message keeps showing up constantly.
What i have tried so far:
- deleted cloak coin folder in user/appdata/roaming
- reinstalled the hole wallet
- manually downloaded the blockchain once as .zip file and once as bootstrap.dat
- checked the config file as suggested on the cloak coin website
- deleted "peers.dat" file
None of above steps helped. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
That's nothing to worry about bennana. The code checks the block number for the last checkpoint hardcoded in the wallet and shows the warning if that checkpoint is considered a little old. The next update will have more recent checkpoints and as a result should sync faster Peace and Love |

Ahoy Cloakers,
wir freuen uns, euch die erste Android-Version von Cloak OneMobile, unser mobiles Interface im Cloak Netzwerk vorzustellen. Diese Version ist in ihrer Funktionalität bis auf weiteres begrenzt und unterstützt nicht die Versendung durch PoSA3 und ebenso kein CloakShield. Dies wird sich in naher Zukunft ändern.
Wir sind bereits dabei eine vollständige plattformübergreifende mobile Lösung zu entwickeln.
Nochmals möchten wir uns bei euch allen für eure starke Unterstützung bedanken. Wir werden ein weiteres Update in naher Zukunft mit anderen Cloak News posten.
Frieden, Liebe und Einheit

Ahoy Cloakers!
Είμαστε στην ευχάριστη θέση να σας ανακοινώσουμε τo πρώτο Android Release του Cloak OneMobile, το πρώτο μας Mobile Interface στο Cloakcoin δίκτυο. Αυτή η αρχική έκδοση είναι περιορισμένη στην λειτουργία της οποτε δεν υποστηρίζει την αποστολή με PoSA και επίσης CloakShield. Αυτό θα αλλάξει σύντομα στο μέλλον, καθώς κοιτάμε να αναπτύξουμε μια Cross-Platform Mobile λύση.
Eυχαριστούμε και πάλι για τη υποστήριξή σας. Θα δημοσιεύσουμε μια άλλη ενημέρωση στο εγγύς μέλλον με άλλες Cloak ειδήσεις.
Ειρήνη, Αγάπη και Ενότητας,

Ahoy Cloakers!
We're pleased to announce the first Android release of Cloak OneMobile, our mobile interface to the Cloak network. This initial release is limited in functionality for now, and does not support PoSA sending and CloakShield. This will change in future as we look to develop a fully cross-platform mobile solution
Thanks again for your continued support. We will post another update in the near future with other Cloak news.

Is the Android wallet going to have same privacy/anon features as the new final PoSA3 desktop wallet ? Or will the mobile wallet only be able to receive/store/send Cloaks in an classic way, without any privacy/anon additionnal layer ?
No any privacy layers anyone who intercepts your packets could see who you intend to send to. It is trivially easy to run HTTPS server these days so such negligence on the "holy grail" of anonymity seems like it's not a serious effort. Hi ITileclooTI This first version of the Mobile Wallet (kindly created by Unek) features limited functionality and no PoSA3 sending. Once the PoSA3 code is finalized, we can look to incorporate it in future version of the Mobile Wallet. PoSA3 does not require HTTPS (or TOR) in order to operate as it utilizes our custom Cloak Shield secure communications system The mechanics of the PoSA3 system are covered in the Whitepaper, which be be downloaded here. You may also want to reference the PoSA3 Security Audit Report from here as that outlines some PoSA3 improvements which are currently being implemented. Peace and love, Team Cloak |

Hello all
We've been delaying this update in the hope of being able to give you the final android wallet (Cloak OneMobile) at the same time, but we're still fixing up a few bugs and aiming (hopefully) for a release this coming Monday. We've also got some more news on the horizon with regard to internal resources, which will soon be boosted and we will be able to up productivity as a result.
Thanks again for your patience, we will keep you updated as always. Feel free to catch us on IRC if you would like to talk to the team (#cloakcoin on the FreeNode IRC network).
Peace & Love,
Cloak Team

Querida Comunidade Cloak,
Uma actualização rápida...
- O nosso Tipbot Twitter (@tipcloak) está nos últimos testes antes do lançamento público. Este vai permitir à comunidade Cloak enviar tips (gorjetas) uns aos outros utilizando o twitter, muito semelhante ao uso dos tipbots do Reddit e do IRC.
- A Carteira Android está na ronda final de ajustes depois dos testes de pré-lançamento e deve sair a qualquer momento.
- As mudanças PoSA estão a correr bem e as funcionalidades 'Recibos' e 'fila/tenta novamente 'Cloakshield estão agora implementadas. Os desenvolvedores estão tembém a otimizar o código do Cloakshield (payload buffers) para garantir que os pacotes de dados sejam o mais pequeno possível. Vamos continuar a informar-vos ( com screenshots onde aplicável) à medida que as mudanças finais são implementadas. Estas mudanças deverão fazer o sistema PoSA à prova de bala ( Além das alterações ao algoritmo de stacking, que deve reembolsar a maioria dos custos dos envios PoSA).
Paz & Amor,
Cloak Team

Dear Cloak Community,
Just a quick progress update...
- Our Twitter Tipbot (@tipcloak) is undergoing final tests before public launch. This will allow the Cloak community to tip each other (and new people) using Twitter, in much the same manner as using IRC and Reddit tipbots.
- Our Android wallet is undergoing a final round of tweaks after some pre-release testing and should be dropping any day now.
- The PoSA changes are going well and the CloakShield 'Receipts' and 'Queue/Retry' functionality is now in place. The developers are also optimizing the CloakShield payload buffers to ensure the data packets are as small as possible. We'll continue to update you with progress (and screenshots where applicable) as the final changes are put into place. These changes should make the PoSA system pretty bullet-proof (save for the forthcoming staking algorithm (PoS) changes to cover the PoSA fees automatically where possible).
Peace & Love,
Cloak Team

哈喽Cloakers，
我们觉得和你们分享额外的一些小进度会挺有趣
PoSA广播功能与Cloak护盾改进其实是一直都在进行的。PoSA3的开发者目前正在延伸Cloak护盾的模块，来发送匿名的“可读的收据信息”，以此来证明加密的Cloak护盾数据传输是成功的。现实上来说，这样会使用Cloak护盾的排队系统，现在该系统会反复尝试使用不同的洋葱路由技术来传输数据，以此来确保信息成功送达。PoSA广播系统的改动（避免任何的会话密钥泄露）已经完成了。安全审计员Iain ‘JonnyBravo’ Craig提到，现在可以在生成可共享的秘密信息之前，对公共会话密钥的有效性（PoSA3握手功能/ECDH 密钥创造功能用）进行检查。Cloak护盾的改动都是与安全审计报告相关的大量实质性改动。所以如果这些改动都完成了的话，那么在PoSA3钱包最终版上线之前，都没什么其他需要改进的地方了。另外还有一点就是，在对PoSA3广播系统进行改动时，我们对Cloak护盾的会话密钥进行了一点改动。那就是给之增添了一个“滚动”密钥系统，以此来提高安全性。这意味着你的PoSA3身份将会随着钱包的运行而周期性的重建。这样一来将会极大地提高PoSA3信息发送者与接收者匿名性与隐秘性。为了能让大家能够在PoSA交易系统中有更多的时间来重新协调，我们已经提高了PoSA3中正在进行的交易限制时间为2分钟（之前是1分钟）。在PoSA交易失败时，钱包的默认设置为自动重新尝试交易。但是该设置可以由用户自行改动和取消，如果用户希望想让自己来重新发送PoSA交易信息。（多谢Ratatosk提出的建议）
我们的安卓手机钱包第一版已经接近完工了。目前我们正在对其进行测试并且检查错误中。并且在发布之前，我们将对数据块链的同步性进行提高。开发手机钱包的项目是外包给一位值得信赖的开发商，在此之前我们之间有过很好的合作。之所以外包给合作伙伴，是为了更迅速的发展进程，并且在未来只要我们看到其中的利益（并且是经济条件上可行的），我们都会相信外部的资源并一起协力完成项目。当然这样做会增加额外的经费，但是我们认为不管何时我们都很审慎地发展同步进行的项目。
Cloak的Twitter客服Tipbot也是接近完工。如果你想在正式版上线之前测试它的话，或者如果你有任何额外功能的问题，请和Cashmen对话。
Cloak团队的设计人员现在正在制作一个视频介绍。该视频的目的在于让不懂得科技的用户们也可以掌握PoSA3是如何运作的。该项目目前仍然处于一个初期的阶段，但是我们会及时地更新它的进展。我们将要把大量专业的术语转换成浅显易懂的词语，不过放心，我们会成功的。
重制的OneMarket计划正在紧锣密鼓地进行中。正如我们之前提到的那样，我们并不会真的开始实施这些计划，直到PoSA3的正式版在正式的Cloak网络上发布之后，并且我们开始准备发布OneMarket白皮书的时候。这项声明是为了避免对PoSA3和OneMarket的疑惑，因为他们之间存在一些交集。
我们仍然在收集问题，并提交给Iain ‘JonnyBravo’ Craig来完善我们的内部安全审计报告。请浏览这篇BitCoinTalk帖子： [CLOAK]PoSA3 Security Audit of PoSA3 & CloakShield - Questions. 我们非常希望你能提出更多的问题，所以不要犹豫，尽情地向我们提出问题吧。请放心，从来没有一个问题是愚蠢的。
现在就这么多啦！我们依然在扩张Cloak团队，并且一直在寻找热情并且有天赋的新成员。所以如果你觉得自己有两把刷子，赶紧联系我们啦！再次感谢一直以来的支持！一旦审计推荐报告完成并且内部测试成功之后，我们将会另开一贴来更新信息。交流依然是关键，所以请毫不犹豫地向我们提问。虽然我们现在有一点点忙，但是我们总会回复你的。（如果我们漏了些什么，请务必告诉我们）
我们同时也更新的CloakCoin发展的路线图：
和谐，友爱，自由
Cloak团队
