I started with CLOAK when it was ~300-340, knowing it was high, but the "volatility" was kind of appealing. Bought and sold at the right times, so now my CLOAKs have a slightly lower BTC value than when i entered the market.

As all coins, also CLOAK will go up and down. Just relax, don't panic and consider carefully if you really want to exit now.

I'm not sure if those are comparable, because the time frames differ a lot. On the other hand, every "bubble" follows this pattern, so you might find this pattern on any coin which has had at least one major increase in price. Look at the charts e.g. on cryptsy and you'll be surprised how common this pattern is. In timeframes of some hours up to several months.

There is still the possibility (if likely or not is another question I'm not capable of answering) that he subtracts the "lmao"-posts from the total posts he's entering in the form to request a payment (at least that was the way I understood the form, so a passionate spammer still has the opportunity to spam without automatically trying to fool the system ). Or can you see the amount of posts he submits somewhere?

Thank you

Well, it looks like I just gave prove that people with a rather unconventional understanding of "alternative recreational activities" can also make sense.
The nickname emerged while trying to register somewhere using the (already taken) username "allyourbase", so I came up with the opposite of "base" and chose "allyouracid". So, at least there was no intended correlation with LSD.

I'm not sure if i get this right, maybe you can help me out:

• you opened a ticket on MintPal
• this ticket contains a description of the Bittrex-mod thingy
• and because of that, MintPal should add SDC- and LXC-trading
• you did that to be able to "move your coins"

My question is: how are all those points related to each other?


.edit:
Is it that you have a place to trade SDC and LXC, because you don't want to trade on Bittrex anymore? If so: understood. Although I seriously doubt that MintPal will comply and add markets just because of this situation.

.edit2:
Nice words and good example for not being insulting while pointing out somebody's typos.

I don't care whether it's fear or not - what I care about is that it's annoying to read the same stuff over and over again. Multiple times on one page of a thread is just not necessary.

Hmm, I really thought we had one yesterday (didn't visit coindesk recently, but I thought I had read something in this thread), but there's only an All things Alt where CLOAK is just mentioned as a side note.

I'm not familiar with how getting an article on coindesk works, but I could imagine that it could be worth a try if our devs would e.g. send the coming PDF about PoSA2 with a little explanation to coindesk. What do you think?

As I don't want to be a lazy opportunist profiting from the coin while others do the work, I wanted to contact coindesk about whether there is general interest in publishing about new features of CLOAK. However, after reading http://www.coindesk.com/contact-us/, I decided against that because they receive lots of requests and I thought it'd be more productive to just send an inquiry with all the information when it's available instead of asking if they'd be interested when the information is available.

As we don't have an article there, yet, maybe we as a community can start collecting valuable information about the coin and maybe even prepare a list (in bullet point form) with accurate information which only needs to be complemented by the devs with information about the new features? CLOAKheads, what do you think? Would that make sense?

Full ack.

In general, people tend to surrender to the compulsive need of finding someone to blame when something being not in their favor has happened. The person being the easiest one to blame falls prey to this desperate need.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely do not endorse causing fear (or manipulating people into selling at a loss for one's own profit / manipulating people in general, if that's what the things that have happened can be called), especially when you're in a position involving responsibilities.

But I think it's okay now...
...dear cloakheads, just look at what happened: There were some great news about decent features on the last pages, but almost nobody recognized them because we're all way too much occupied in judging people for things we cannot change anymore.

As it was discussed over several pages on this thread, I don't think it is lost. At least those who should, have noticed it. Also, what do you expect? Take him to court? (Now, I'm overexaggerating)

Come on, learn to accept an apology and then let's just live on and not whine about things which nobody can change anymore.


.edit:
Tbh, I also don't know what was wrong with your posts. I read them before they were deleted.

Staff members? Where's the plural from? Something like "overexaggeration illustrates"?
Also, it seems that the mod has been removed. This plus the apology... how does this tell you that Bittrex supports this behavior? There's a gap in your logic. Please read the last few posts before posting. And then you may apologize for posting uninformed BS.

Right! They aren't even employees! How should you control that they're decent, besides listening to your intuition when you're about to make someone a mod? Imho richie stated clearly enough that such things may not happen and he'll take care about this, so this won't happen again.

Requesting an additional tweet about this seems quite narrow-minded to me (sorry, no offense) and those funny requests like stating it on the Bittrex start page make the cloak community look immature and stubborn. The only thing it does not is making things from the past undone.
So, let's grow up and accept an apology of a guy who probably isn't very amused himself about the bad reputation (although maybe only short timed) this action gave to the exchange.

Of course they are. But keep in mind that this is not easy in a place where literally everyone from all over the world can become a mod. Remember fontas? Read his first posts on Reddit; you could actually get the idea that this is a nice person being interested in crypto. And then?
You cannot prevent shit from happening, it happens everyday and everywhere, even in the real world with paid employees of companies. It just doesn't protect from such things.

Richie apologized for something he didn't even do himself. I think, that's enough responsibility. Seriously, what do you expect him to do? Wash the car of every cloakhead for the rest of his life? Bring the price back up by himself? Close Bittrex? Stop starving and extinction all over the world? Peace for everybody? I think this whole thing is a bit overexaggerated. Really.

I'm in. I'm holding. Things will develop the way they'll do.

One more word to richie and this whole mod-story: I really think it's enough. Although I do not think that the price decline is solely caused by some mod spreading misinformation, nobody is safe from having a black sheep under their mods.
Richie has apologized officially on behalf of bittrex, which I think is a really, really nice gesture. What else could he do? Denouncing bittrex on its frontpage? Come on guys, this is ridiculous.

And now, let's please grow up and get everything back to normal, again.

I know that feeling pretty well, but I just refuse to realize it.
Yeah, I'm still quite confident that the price will recover. It's all about manipulation in crypto (sadly...), and some guys suppress CLOAK's value so more and more people "abandon the ship".

It'll come back. What goes up must come down - and vice versa.

Thanks for your answer, much appreciated! More because of a coincidence, I took a look into the thread (had almost forgotten about my question here) and saw that I'll have to fill out the form again (didn't send it again, as you told me). Now I did (to be on the safe side, I took my current postcount and not the one from earlier) and probably everything is fine.

Thank you!

To everyone here who is making losses while trading. This image is very important information! I firmly believe that innovation/features of a coin only do one part to the price, whereas the other part is being delivered by those who control the market. And they often know the psychology of inexperienced traders (often referred to as "weak hands") pretty well.
Prices are being driven up and kept down, just to make you feel exactly what is being described on the picture.

When price goes down (of whatever crypto investment you have) and it's not due to some really bad news which can be directly connected to the decline in price (like, developer ran away with a pot of gold, leaving the users behind with an overpriced bunch of nothing), it's often that there's either something more profitable to trade right now (thus, people switching coins for a short time and coming back later) or the price is kept down to make people sell low, believing their asset has become worthless.

Don't fall prey to this scheme, crypto is not play money (especially to those who don't have much and/or are susceptible to being manipulated into buying high and selling low). Don't throw your hard earned money out of the window!


Best regards and happy trading,
allyourbase.

Hello Stunna/PrimeDice team,

I wanted to participate in this advertising campaign since some time already... and now, I finally found the time to register. Great that there is an advertising program paying that much - thanks for that!

However, one question remains: I have changed my signature, added my Bitcoin address, opened the Google form from the first posting on this thread and selected "Enroll". I entered my information carefully, but when I finished and clicked "continue" ("Weiter" in German, not sure what exactly the English button states but I guess it's clear what I mean), I came to the "Collecting Payment" form (which I cannot fill yet, of course, because I just registered).

So, is this normal? And did the form register me correctly anyway? Or did I do something wrong, thus having to re-enroll?


Best regards and sorry for asking noobish questions, but I never participated in an advertising program here, so please bear (or bull, heh) with me.

I'd buy some tobacco, as my current pack is almost empty.

Then, I'd sit down and smoke a cigarette, thinking about the pros of hiding the money from my wife (party!) vs. the cons of sharing with her (less party). After some months, everything would be over, leaving me behind completely wrecked, psychologically and physically.

No, actually, I'd buy us a house (quite expensive here, if you don't want anything special, ~650k are gone easily) to have this pension-thingy resolved (well, kind of... who knows how things develop) and the remaining 350k would probably go into Bitcoin.
