I like the way you think. Only "fly in the ointment" could be regulation. We shall see...

Very nice! Great work CLOAK Team!

Better that they just go out of business. They stole the BitBay name from the BitBay coin that was founded in 2014 causing much confusion for David Zimbeck and crew who are running a solid, honest project. If you can't even be original with your project's name, what else are you going to steal?

You are such a flaming moron! The entire market is down. When are you going to learn how this all works?

People know, they just don't care. Don't waste your time.

The link and "tl;dr" to this was a start but, I think the entire thing should be posted in the forum for all the idiots and FUD slingers that like to hang out here:

"A note from CR

Dear VergeFam,

I have been sitting here for a while – reading through posts, articles, twitter feeds, and social media in general to try and take in all the different views and consider them with an unbiased outlook. As many of you are fully aware, I have been on this project for a long time and it is very hard for me to not just automatically defend my baby when there is criticism. Also, it has been difficult for me to find an appropriate way to discuss these subjects openly, as our community has been infested by a thick cloud of toxicity and hatred, which, frankly, some may be justified while a lot are just attempts by individuals or projects in our space wanting to tear us down for ulterior motives.

I know that a lot of our longtime supporters and community members may feel nervous and ask whether our development team is doing enough. Why do they not respond to FUD? I’ll get to these questions shortly.

Today, The Larry and Joe Show posted a new video – I always enjoy hearing what they have to say as they are probably about as unbiased as you can get. While watching the show, it was very apparent that Larry and Joe weren’t their usual chipper and high spirited selves, but instead their expressions seem somber (or melancholy) which caught my attention - (starting at timestamp: 16:28).

“I will personally say that, I can’t believe that Sunerok or the Team would do something to hurt this coin you know? And or deliberately do something to hurt the coin.”

“From an investor’s standpoint, you know it is scary in a way because you’re taking hard earned money that you earned and saying ok I believe that putting this $5,000.00 right now, it is going to be worth more money in the future and when something like this happens and it’s like a step or two back you know you get nervous and I think anyone who was holding Verge when they heard that news felt the same way. So it’s just natural, But you know like we always say it’s not how hard you get hit it’s how good you come back.”

Hearing the show’s commentary made me reflect on how far we have come from a small rag tag team and community project to where we are now - a substantial and sophisticated, global project. However, I also realized that along the way, I lost touch as I do not know most of you, and a lot of you who came to our project over time might not know me, my ethos, or dedication to our community/project.

But I do know that we are all in this incredibly, volatile space together and trying to either build a project with the prospects of it being adopted on a global scale or investing our hard earned money into something bigger than ourselves with the hopes and aspirations of some semblance of relief, whether it be financial independence, a better tomorrow, or any other worthy ideals.

From the deepest depths of my being I want you to know that Sunerok, Myself and all of our absolutely fantastic support and team members would never intentionally do anything to besmirch or hurt this project. Why? Because Verge Currency is our passion. This project has brought together many different walks of life that all share a love and fondness for what Sunerok started many years ago and we would never want to damage what we worked so hard to create, develop, and improve.

With Verge Currency going through all of these various trials and tribulations – I promise you, we are prepared to continue moving ahead full force.

To start, our team is coming together live for the first time in Amsterdam on June 9th. This is going to give us a chance to meet each other in person and really talk about project direction and how we can accomplish those goals. The Amsterdam meetup is also going to give those who are attending a chance to actually put faces to the names of some of our team members and strengthening our bond. This is going to be a huge step towards solidifying our team for the future.

To give you all some additional good news:

Our development team (yes, there is more than one developer) has been working tirelessly for the past several weeks to rebase our primary code for Verge Currency. This move is going to enable a vast array of opportunities for us and will help solidify our currency against any future attacks. We have decided to incorporate RingCT with this massive codebase revision instead of just releasing RingCT separately as it just makes logical sense. While I am not at liberty to discuss a timeline, I can confidently tell you that there have been massive strides made and the development team is getting closer to completion with every passing day. We are confident that the code changes are very significant and are going to improve Verge Currency and its future partnership potential exponentially.

Now – Let me address our valuable and much appreciated investors:

Our presence (@vergecurrency) on social media has been lack luster. Our community team members have been going above and beyond to spread as much information as they can or share what they have been given. Communication is our biggest enemy on the Verge Currency Team as we have not clearly established a process for systematically relaying information in a timely fashion. Yes, it sounds like an excuse – I get it – but it is the simple truth. In order to keep up with the continuous onslaught of misinformation and FUD that is being spread against Verge Currency we would need to dedicate multiple people to answering questions and reassuring investors. While our team tries to the best of their abilities to do this – It has been fairly overwhelming as of late. Another big reason why you are not seeing active updates on the @VergeCurrency handle is because our account was compromised a few months ago, and after regaining control, we decided best to keep the control of the account under the management of one person to limit the amount of people who had direct control over the account as well as increase security measures to prevent the compromise in the future. As most of you probably noticed – past that date – the post count and engagement from the @Vergecurrency handle dropped significantly. We are aware of this issue and are going to rectify this immediately as we know most, if not all of you, depend on that handle as the ‘source of truth and news’ when it comes to all things Verge Currency.

Without getting too far into the weeds, I would like to re-establish this thought process:

Verge Currency – and many of its competitors and counterparts in this segment – are all entering into a very much unknown space. Like many, if not all of the great companies in the world, we are going to make some mistakes, have growing pains, disagreements and so on. While we are aware of this, we must also be aware that we will try to make the best judgement calls and decisions along the way based on then-available information.

It is very –VERY easy to get wrapped up in negative thoughts and spiral out of control when all you see online are articles and FUD about a particular project. Our space has an uncanny power to attract some of the best and brightest minds as well as some of the most vile and despicable people in the world. I understand that it is extremely hard to “keep faith” in something when all you see is negativity. I understand also that it is hard to resist the urge to say “to hell with this” when communications is slow or lacking.

I get it and I can’t stress to you enough that while we have been going through struggles lately, we are taking in all of the feedback and are plotting a course through the quagmire. We are not going anywhere – Verge Currency and its team are here to stay regardless of what happens. We have invested far too many long years into this project to see it fail.

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of our loyal and steadfast investors and community members who’ve stuck with us. While it may be difficult to comprehend at this time, there is an extremely bright light we are heading toward on this journey.

With Sincerity,

-CR"

Very cool to be staking DNotes in the wallet. As for the exchanges, they are all running scared. If we could have some real guidance in the business concerning what is and is not, a "financial product" that would solve the problem once and for all. Don't expect it soon but, expect it...

Practically every coin is a copy of another right on back to Bitcoin. Get over it, that's how it works.

Old maybe but with great new features and Dev team.

Scroll up to message 10286 & 10287 for the answer.

You are the lowest form of life, posting an ad for some other crap coin in this forum. You should be ashamed of yourself!

New website looks great. One question though, why the lite blue theme? Kinda clashes with the yellow or are you going to change the PandaBank colors?

Step #1: grow up

Step#2: Contact tech support

Step#3: wait till its fixed

Yes, it's been a year, chill...

Why don't you say "FUCK" a few more times, that will fix the problem right? Or, you could act like an intelligent human being and wait till this is sorted out. We have already been waiting a year now so what's a few more days?

Nice sentiment but, you could have thought of something original rather than just copy the last poster...

Hardly. Your comment indicates a lack of knowledge on your part. This attack is rather sophisticated and considering all the mining algos Verge uses, difficult to defend against. Hopefully, this time, the Devs will take this more seriously.

Not the first coin to be attacked and won't be the last, this too shall pass...  I do agree they need to find a real defense against this "time warp" method.

It's truly amazing how people spew "facts" about things they have no real knowledge of. Are you all in the "porn" industry? If not, how about talking about something you are an expert on. I envision a rather quiet forum after that catches on...

Is POS functional at this time? I'm currently mining POW on Moon Hashing, looking good!

Also, how about activating resizing on the windows wallet? Some of the text is covered by the bottom graphic of the wallet. And one more thing, I don't see you on CMC, is that listing in the works?

PS: read through your posted bios, very nice, good well rounded team. I've been in crypto since 2012 and IT since 1984...
