i have a question. While the coins are staking in my wallet, I am supporting the network, however, if I encrypt my wallet I will not stake, thus won't support the network? If I can encrypt and stake is there a special way to do so?

We put an unlock button in the wallet, so if you encrypt it you can unlock it just for staking and help the network.

I.E your coins will stay locked behind password but your wallet will still stake.

If you are a large holder, it would be helpful (not necessary) to split across two or more wallets on different machines (if possible).

Some solid tweets from developer could fix that.

That has been happening that from day 1

Yes, and they kicked me from IRC cause they didn't like what i was saying. Gives me little hope when few people were all saying same things and get quited in IRC.




You were kicked out of the IRC by CrazyLoaf because you were saying the same thing over and over (still are) and the final straw came when you said the following:


< cryptodaknight>.....let me tell my investment group that holds about 200k cloak collectively, we can all dump on you at once then


Well that is truth and it was cause crazyloaf and others were being very rude, go look and see, then started a fight. I was not saying same thing over and overwith, others also agreed with me, and your distorting the truth there. Many were saying same thing, where is the marketing. This half truth, even crazyloaf said he did not read all that happened before he came in. So he was biased from get go by a few fanboys which will say rararara nomatter what.

This is pointless, we all are on same team trying to get coin value up, but some are doing same thing i've seen in so many coins that just wait attitude, this coin is new, blah blah blah. Most those coins died or are much lower.

Point being dagger, if you would have explained to people, when prices were tanking that marketing is coming, I am willing to be your selloff would not have happened.

As for those saying we don't want a pump and dump, agreed, but it's naive thinking. PnD will happen to any coin that is successful. You won't be able to avoid it, to some degree it will happen. But most PnD of good coins remain higher than before the PnD.

If this coin has more to offer than PnD people will eventually hold and buy more after dust settles and everyone will know about cloak cause it got attention. Anyways, I guess bringing up obvious things to you is where i get attacked, so be it, but many have money on line and like it or not want to know what next moves are with marketing once new PoSA are out, not on 4th of July weekend when people are not paying attention.

Please stop telling us how to do our jobs when we can see that your logic is flawed.

We have an unfinished product, therefore marketing is not happening at this stage.

Other than dev videos on youtube, twitter posts and this forum no we are not marketing.

Think about the following and realise what you are saying.

CLOAK is barely 3 weeks old: in that time we built an anon system, the first of it's kind... using exchanges then deaddrop wallets and listening servers... it is not using CoinJoin which may be about to be exposed for complete ineffectiveness... our anon system is working right now in CloakSend 1.1 however due to the nature of it... it is centralized and not entirely trustless.

So, that being a concern we are constantly listening to the market and we release a preliminary whitepaper for CloakSend 2.0 featuring a truly p2p decentralized anon system working on an entirely trustless way.

We heard that people wanted TOR in their wallet... So we added it in the last update.

Now to say we need to up our marketing efforts whilst we are EXTREMLY busy with getting this coin into shape, when we are this young and have already done so much is at times quite insulting. Having to write posts like this is also counter productive.

Think about what you are saying and bare in mind the following.

Did darkcoin become successful in 3 weeks?

No, it took about 3 months.

Did Vericoin blow up in 3 weeks?

No, it took about 7 to get going, they were plagued with bugs when they went foll PoS.

Did monero take off in 3 weeks?

No, it took a couple of months at least.

Did Bytecoin take of straight away?

No.

Infact, name a coin that got massive success in 3 weeks.

You seem to claim that a successful coin is made from "marketing".

What happened when Doge pulled the biggest altcoin marketing feat to date: sponsoring a nascar (racecar)... Did that actually help and raise the value of that coin?

Does the fact that Wankcoin (yes that's what it's called) is on Pornhub, mean it instantly has acquired massive value? By your logic it would.

Please demonstrate some effective marketing campaigns, the budget and the result rather than just telling us to drop some dev work and concentrate on marketing.

I think you do a disservice by characterizing legitimate, constructive criticism as FUD. Read carefully. He is saying nothing more than the language the market is speaking the last 24 hours.

Yes, and they kicked me from IRC cause they didn't like what i was saying. Gives me little hope when few people were all saying same things and get quited in IRC.

This is not FUD, this is trying to get back on track to where this coin belongs, taking over darkcoin, XC and other anon coin market value.

If anyone things this is not possible, then they haven't been paying attention to this coin. But to get from point A to point B we need to let people know about cloakcoin.

Without knowledge other groups will just not pay attention, why would they, there are hundreds of coins to read threads on, who has the time? Not many people will even those in the know have time to sift through all the coins to find this coin.

So if developers think a good product sells itself in cryptos applies here, they are delusional. I've seen this happen so many times its not funny, everyone saying relax, things will be fine. Well market says they are not fine, and reason being is cloak is just run of the mill anon coin to them, so why invest long.

Truth hurts.

Also, i suggested in IRC that there date of cloakcoin 2.0 was horrible gosh aweful timing. Why? July 4th is one of the biggest if not the biggest holiday weekend in USA. We are not on computers, we are at parties, going to fireworks, traveling, and BBQ's, it's a big deal and starts on July 4th. It's usually extended holiday til sunday, so thursdays news will fall on deaf ears in USA.

Thats huge % of people in crypto that will not hear about cloakcoin.

See, this was not planned right, and now unless they plan on releasing july 3rd early, it might work, but either that or go back on word and release following monday. But to release this from july 4th to july 6th would be marketing bludder.



Will post the transcript soon of why you were kicked from IRC.

Working feature first, marketing second. Pretty simple god damn equation followed by every successful coin.

Precisely.  Otherwise you don't get full effect.

Please be patient with us in terms of marketing.

There will be a big push when PoSA is out and during development of CloakMarket.

Update:

Addressing network stability issues:

Problem.

We end with forks and wallets going out of sync as can be seen when network hash rate has dropped below 0.1.

Solution.

In the next wallet update we will run a dns seeder that is not restricted to 2 seednodes as at current.

It will prevent the seed nodes from flooding and therefore alleviate the sync problems and occasional forks of which we are very aware of.

Patching CloakTrade:

Problem.

The current problem is that the bitcoin core uses boost threads, and it is interfering with the qt stuff of which CloakTrade was built up around.  We've been getting strange inconsistent appcrashes at startup as well.

Solution.

Instead of trying to get the QT files to work we are going re-write the affected code using cURL instead. This will be more compatible.


To help avoid compatibility issues, such as the one that happened with CloakTrade:

We are setting up 2 virtual machines next week, one for Linux and one for Windows. This will allow the CLOAK devs to work together in an open and shared build environment in which they can verify each others work and overall ensure better compatibility for our future projects (of which there are many).


Thanks everyone for standing by us during these very early days.

Keep positive... Cloak and our team have so much to offer, we are just going through some early teething problems which we are solving / improving as fast as we can.

Will post a full update very soon about where we are and what is happening next week.

sadly any request to put it on github (even in a separate branch) is just ignored by the dev team.
Probably people from the community could step in and help fixing the last bugs. That way they could focus on the POSA implementation.



It's more to do with the fact we don't want our work cloned by every other coin for now.

Aint it possible to build something like Checkpointing into the wallet? Im having the weirdest forking issues... which i havenīt had before, it is no fun if you have to resync every second day.

http://cloak.blockexplorer.cc/stats/

It's happened twice.

Each time network went under 0.1 hashrate.

Need more people with coins in wallet staking than on exhanges (that don't stake).

Often coins don't appear on the richlist that are in the public key you sent them to because when you stake, PoS moves to other addresses found within wallet.dat.

Block explorer back up.

Looks like the block explorer is down.  Can someone check into it?

We are looking into it, that's why it's down atm Wink

@Dagger

I think we should rebrand PoSa.


Cloakstake?

Well if you look at other coins that have invented something completely new they tend to refer to it, by what it actually is.

Bitcoin: proof of work (not bitcoinwork)
Peercoin : proof of stake (not peerstake)
Fluttercoin : proof of transaction (not fluttertransaction)

So it seems to fit best that we create the tech and call it by what it is.

Cloakcoin : proof of stake anon (not cloakstake or cloakanon)


Ahh gotcha. Still though I think Cloakstake for short sounds better - it just rolls off the tounge easier Wink  "Cloakstake or Proof of Stake Anon"



It's actually CloakSend 2.0 (which is PoSA)
