Sorry for what might be a noob question here, but has anyone from development contacted Bittrex about not de-listing Cloak?

If Craptsy do collapse and Bittrex de-list, both of which look likely, it's going to be a big blow for anyone trying to trade in cloak.

Hello, just trying to install the Windows wallet, but constantly coming up "out of sync".

Also showing as not connected to Cloakcoin network.

I''ve downloaded the win blockchain file and bootstrap, but maybe not put them in the correct spot?

Any help here?

Thanks.

Hi, maybe you have a firewall blocking conection, what's your network setup? VPN? more info would help a lot to give you a better answer Smiley

Hi, no VPN, and just running Win 7. Nothing out of the ordinary. Eset a/v, windows firewall allowing Cloakcoin-Qt access.
It's probably me getting something wrong with blockchain files.

Not hot on wallets at all, so please use lay terms!

Have you tried it:

1. download the windows blockchain: http://cloakcoin.com/downloads/blockchain_win.zip
2. go to: C:\Users\YOUNAME\AppData\Roaming\Cloakcoin
3. do a backup of you wallet.dat and replace all files with this downloaded files
4. delete you old peers.dat
5. download latest cloakcoin.conf file and put it in same folder: http://cloak.blockexplorer.cc/nodes/download.php
6. start wallet and enjoy

Hi, I'm getting a 404 error on the nodes link, is that an issue with me or the link?

yep, link not work, try this



1. go to follow folder via terminal app:
 /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/CloakCoin/
2. create there a file with name: cloakcoin.conf
in this file save follow nodes or copy cloakcoin.conf to folder above:
addnode=node1.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node2.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node3.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node4.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node5.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node6.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node7.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node8.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node9.cloakcoin.com
addnode=node10.cloakcoin.com
4. delete in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/CloakCoin/  file names peers.dat
3. start wallet



Hi, either I don't have the folder " /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/CloakCoin/ " or I am unable to find it. Not sure what terminal app means though?

The key thing here is that important info has been deliberately withheld, which is a change from the norm of regular and open updating.

It's concerning whichever way you cut it.

Yes, it's pretty...

...

No : rare last alive Cloak supporters only want the only important thing they were expecting of Cloak : a Cloak wallet finally really anonymous (at least, for what you told us) to use a (supposed) good anonymous and private coin. But it never comes.

Ratatosk we love you too  Kiss

I think you forgot small thing: We could release POSA3 wallet long time ago without Security Audit, but we decide to do a "Security Audit".

I understand that you all impatient and want best "MAGIC/HOLY GRAIL ANON WALLET" in one week but come down to earth and be realistic its not possible to release good quality product in few weeks, not with our budget and sources.

But if you able to help us to code the wallet so you help is very appreciated, if you can't so try to spread more LOVE, cause you hate help ZERO in our situation!

PEACE & LOVE!

 Kiss

Yes I remember the audit... and the several "small" things needed to be fixed. But since the audit you also wrote many times that all was almost finished, and that we wouldn't have to wait long, or that all is going to be fixed very quick or come out really-really soon...

I know it's a lot of work. I was only saying that finalizing and releasing the final working PoSA3 anon wallet should have been your ultra top priority target, and that many things not really urgent or not anon like Twitter tips, Android, videos, bloackexplorer, new promises/announces of next revolutional changes, new graphic layer of website, should have been made after the mega urgent and needed public release of PoSA3 wallet.

Your recent past and actual agenda scary me because it's so much illogic, I really don't understand how no one of you realize that, and how bad it was and it still is for Cloak. So much time and energy (and so, money too) lost.

You know I have several interesting qualities, but I can't help you to code. But even, if I could, your paranoia about not sharing the code except between you and Indigo would make my contribution to code impossible.

You told me you want to satisfy your investors. I don't see or understand how this behaviour helps to reach this goal. And by the way, I'm still one of these investors, for what that matters, even if less than before.

Despite our divergence of thinkings, there is absolutely no hate from me about Cloak. I really did not want to make Cloak team & supporters sad or angry. But many things disapoint me, or scare me. I'm only trying to open your eyes, from my outside position that allows me to have a quite impartial clear and global view.

And yes, you know I'm also in a kind of hope, live long & prosper, peace & love trip, with or without graphical pink cross (private joke, all other forum readers)... But one of the problems is that you only promise and deliver that, for now, sorry. We can only judge and make a conclusion on a guy/team/project on facts and results, not on words.

Well said my friend!

I give you right in mostly points. The side Projects like Twitterbot, Android Wallet and co this all was not made by our Coder "Indigo" he promises us from begin he will finish the POSA3-Wallet but cause many reasons from his side he didn't!

It was not our fault cause we have 100% trust in him and his delay made this bad situation for us all.

I am really sorry for this and i feel same like you all and i have also invested much of money in this project.

At the moment i am negotiate with 2 more coders to finish finally the POSA3 wallet cause i can't and don't want wait anymore for "Indigo" cause he said self he don't know when he able to finish this work!

So don't think its always our all fault, sometimes things happened in universe but not always for our bad .)

I am also happy to see you still believe in us it make me/us stronger in this difficult time.

PEACE & LOVE

Now you're worrying me - are you saying Cloak has been cut adrift by your coder because for whatever reason he can't finish the job? And what's more worrying is - despite all your love and snuggle updates, it took someone of fairly strong character to challenge you on it before you admitted this to us?

Oh jesus, this is another LTCD, I can feel it.

I am really glad to see that Cloak is doing so well, it was one of my original coins. I only hold a few thousand now, which I will not sell off... But could someone explain why there is such a rebirth? Im sorry for not going back through the thread... At least point me in the right direction. Thanks Smiley. Long live Cloakcoin.

RE posa3, is this going to get announced officially? Or did I miss something? Really glad to see CLOAK back on the road to recovery.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: (Unofficial) Litecoindark Thread (LTCD Dead-Officially) on: January 30, 2015, 09:31:17 AM
I see a real power hungy person here. I saw it in your earlier posts, I see it in you locking threads, I see it in you needing to "own" the name of the coin, even when you've almost singlehandedly screwed it into the ground, and I would bet you'd dearly love to have the ability to freeze this discussion too.

One of your only assets is being able to show up and trade insults with people who invested in the coin, and who have a genuine reason to feel hacked off and hard done by.

Definatelty not a good enough reason for anyone to put you at the forefront of a coins development.

Your attitude has been cited as a major reason for losing support, yet you still continue on with this tirade, trying to cling onto the LTCD name with supposed legal argument.

You need to realise that you are the catalyst for all this shit. Lots of people don't just turn up on here and think - "I know, I'll give vicvelcro some more shit today".

No mom's basement for me. She was killed during a home invasion more than 40 years ago. So you're saying you did a corpse? You dug her up? That's probably some kind of crime, right there.

Your guess in regard to me and mom's basement is about as accurate as everything else you spew.

Yes, I and one other person can both prevent other parties from appropriating the intellectual property aspect of LTCD. You and anyone else can buy all the coins available at the exchanges. The domain is already registered and could only be obtained with the cooperation of the registrant. LiteCoinDark is a registered entity. I have exclusive rights (by contract) to be the only other authority regarding the disposition of the intellectual property. Unless the other party and I mutually agree to end our contract, I would need the consent of the other party to transfer to a 3rd party. The owner of the intellectual property cannot grant another 3rd party any right to use the intellectual property without my consent. We could both probably be convinced to sell the intellectual property rights for a significant sum (probably payable only in bullion).

You or anyone else can use the same open source code LTCD is based up, choose a name for the coin, and have your own empty blockchain to start with and can fill it with 100% premine if you like. However, using the name LiteCoinDark would be inadvisable from a legal perspective. Using the name LiteCoinDark would also be counterproductive to a positive reputation.


There is no "stunting" (whatever you mean with that made up term).

Yes, LTCD is done. I said it first, not you. You saying it wouldn't matter anyway because you are a nobody and have no authority.

I haven't been a fuckface to everyone. Only to those who asked for the fuckface label to be applied to them, fuckface.

The rest of your bitching pretty is pretty much just you raging and trying to pick a useless forum fight. I'm willing to bandy words with you, but prefer to do the rest in PM. You already demonstrated that you are just as much a dickhead as I am. You by your nature, me by deliberate counter-attack.

I'd be just as safe lobbing insult grenades at you face to face as you are behind your keyboard. I'm willing to meet you for a beer and lob insults in person. I'll even buy the beer. How about it, princess? Can I buy you a drink?

There's nothing relevant to this topic for us to discuss. Perhaps you can start a new topic and title it Verbal Big Dick Contest - MikeyMillie the Princess vs Vic the Dick or take it to PM.

lol look at you pathetically waggling your weak little e-prick.  God what a chode gobbler you are, a classic mom's basement shut-in ITG assburger's case.   

You, nor anyone else, can do anything at all in any practical case to prevent other parties' appropriation of LTCD "assets" if they so desired.  NOTHING.  the initialism LTCD   is not protected under any force of law until someone moves to protect it, and they won't, because they can't even pay for a half assed dev to fix it let alone a legal team to defend it. 

The only reason you are stunting like this is because you know nobody gives a shit enough to care about 'taking' the laughing stock joke that is LTCD, so you will never have to back your fantasy enforcement talk with action.       

You are done, you have no credibility and spent every drop of goodwill being a general fuckface to people who were trying to help.  And I am loving the consequent drama as you try to pretend you aren't the pariah you made yourself into over all this.

You want to be an uncivil ass and lob insult grenades at people safely from behind your pissant little self-mod topic scam shield?  I may have provoked some of it and i don't mind a little forum brawling as a result, that's expected. 
But you also pulled that same shit on people who never deserved it and you had nothing to redeem yourself with in terms of results.  You are not even a proper scammer, you are a failed wannabe aspirational scammer.

Oh yeah - before you go there,  i already did your mom, she thanked me and paid in BTC because even she knows how worthless her son's efforts were to reboot LTCD.

In order to continue this line of discussion in proper context, I need to know if you are a dick or a criminal.

Are you trolling for the sake of dickness? Or are do you intend to make an attempt to seize control of the LTCD project criminally?

You brought it up, you showed your ass. What kind of ass are we looking at?

Ok then tell me how it pertains to intellectual property laws in any way whatsoever if the community creates new forums, new Github and changes the name slightly? You stated you don't own any Coins anyways so why does it even matter?

Are you a "dick" or a "criminal"?

I know plenty about intellectual property and lawyers. It seems you do not.

You have not even addressed what specific intellectual property I am referring to and you've not even bothered to ask.

I will continue to point out the holes in what you post while not responding to your implications until you take your turn and tell us...

Are you a "dick" or a "criminal"?

It is the same thing, go consult with a lawyer on intellectual property laws if you don't believe me.

You won't say "yes" and you won't say "no". I presume you could possibly be a criminal dick, then. And you really have nothing of substance to say or a leg to stand on.

Paycoin has nothing to do with this conversation. The circumstances are different.

Until you respond with "dick" or "criminal", I will disregard you.

LiteCoindark is not intellectual property since it's based on open source code. If that was the case then the old PayCoin could have sued the new PayCoin but can't because it is not classed as either intellectual property nor a legal entity.

We (at least I) are not discussing domain names. The subject is intellectual property.

So, to be clear:

Do you intend to make unauthorized use of intellectual property known as LiteCoinDark? Reply with a firm "yes" or "no", please. By stating which it is, we can be clear whether you are being hypothetical and trolling a non-issue just to be a dick or we can be clear that you have criminal intent.

Thank you.

Domains are not classified as intellectual property nor are names of Cryptocurrencies.

I did not say me.

The owner of the intellectual property resides in a country that recognizes different laws than you are considering or even aware of.

Basically talking out your ass to hear your own thoughts.

It's over. Drop it. There's nothing you can do about it.

Actually there is no law against someone else claiming the name. PayCoin took the same name as an established Cypto but legally there was nothing they could do about it.

You say it like you could sue them if they took the name just because you want to keep it dead out of spite, you can't and would never hold up in court.

Forward progress is not going to happen. Therefore dead. Not abandoned. Legally different meaning. Abandoned would mean somebody else could claim the name, the domain, etc without potential repurcussion.

Example, if your car died and you decided not to repair it but did keep it parked in your driveway - it would be useless but remain yours. If you left it dead on the side of the road (public property), it would be considered abandoned - you would lose any legal claim of ownership in 30 days which would allow anyone that wanted to take it the legal right to do so without any repurcussion.

Why do so many people deliberately make my words worse when it suits them and make them better when it suits them - instead of just reading the words and using their truly defined meaning? I use the words properly. People don't read properly.

I smell a rat here, almost a scam on the back of another scam.

Coin announced as dead, yet no immediate drop in value?

Almost a u turn from "LTCD died in November. LTCD is officially dead today. Nothing more to discuss. No complaining or bitching will change that.

Sell."

To "A point of note: LTCD project is not being abandoned. It simply cannot feasibly make any further forward progress. LTCD project will continue and persist until such time as the legal possessor(s) of the intellectual property known as LitecoinDark cease and dissolve it."

It's either dead, or it's not.

And the somewhat false "An official announcement will be made by Alec if he ever gets off his ass."

Added to all that, still nothing about all this on the official thread, except "nothing new to post yet"

If you wanted to get rid of bagholders, snap up some v.cheap coins, any or all of the above would be ways of doing it.

I was dissapointed when I first heard this news, now I'm starting to get pissed.

18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: (Unofficial) Litecoindark Thread (LTCD Dead) on: January 28, 2015, 08:14:25 PM
Ok, having read most of the threads for LTCD over the past months, I'm going to have my 2 penneth, I reckon the amount of the stuff I own allows me to do that. Since no-one can post on the official thread, I'll do it here.

Point 1 - Attitude.

Being the dev of a coin, especially one that's had problems and one which needs reviving, requires a certain amount of man management skills, which are obviously missing from vics armoury. Vic, whatever drives you to develop this coin, you need to realise that all this "agressive defense" you are offering, be that on the official thread or on here is misplaced. You need to listen to every single concern, be that abusive or positive, and take every scrap of information from it. To reply to every critism as though someones just insulted your own family is just not the right thing to do.
When you took over this coin, people had really high hopes for what you were doing, and your enthusiasm for the same. Now, it's hard to see anything in you other than some sort of power crazed zealot who thinks he can dictate every single aspect of the coins new development. I have at certain times in the past seen this behaviour stem from someone who is just so passionate about what they're trying to do, and working so hard that they see every comment as a critism. Vic - if this is you, I would emplore you to get someone to speak for you on these forums. Someone who can take a comment like "you're all dicks and there's nothing happening with LTCD" and reply with something like "thanks for your comments, I can assure you our development team is working very hard and we hope to have an announcement by the end of next week reference our next stage of developement. Please feel free to return to this post and give us a hurry up should you not see that announcement at the appropriate time." If it's a genuine query, you've just earned some "points". If it's an idiot, you've not lowered yourself to their standards, but still fully answered their question. Come on Vic - we're all looking for true leadership from you, not the ability to get into abusive scraps on a forum.

Point 2 - Community.

This is the key one if the coin is going to survive. Someone made a point in a previous thread that the coin is not the dev, it's the community. Absolutely bang on. But when a new dev takes on a coin, especially one with issues, the absolute, definate, solo, first thing they need to do, is bring the whole community on the journey with them. This means transparency, honesty, constant quality communication, having the ability to listen (see above), and basically being the figurehhead for a huge amount of people who have invested in this coin and want it to rebound. You have simply got to engage everyone with a view, so that we all travel together on this. If you fragment the community, you will fragment the coins very support, and it will surely die.

I know about this stuff Vic, and whilst I thought I saw good intentions in you in late 2014, they won't be enough to turn this around on their own.

Take on board some of the above if you want, or ignore it. It's certainly not meant as a critism, but you'll see what you'll see.

Love & snuggles....



That was me Smiley My thoughts exactly, only your words much better then mine, feel like taking up PR for LTCD, if Vic lets you? Grin

I would be happy enough to discuss it, but it wasn't my original intention. I was under the impression someone was already nominated to do it.

This is the key one if the coin is going to survive. Someone made a point in a previous thread that the coin is not the dev, it's the community. Absolutely bang on. But when a new dev takes on a coin, especially one with issues, the absolute, definate, solo, first thing they need to do, is bring the whole community on the journey with them. This means transparency, honesty, constant quality communication, having the ability to listen (see above), and basically being the figurehhead for a huge amount of people who have invested in this coin and want it to rebound. You have simply got to engage everyone with a view, so that we all travel together on this. If you fragment the community, you will fragment the coins very support, and it will surely die.

I know about this stuff Vic, and whilst I thought I saw good intentions in you in late 2014, they won't be enough to turn this around on their own.

Take on board some of the above if you want, or ignore it. It's certainly not meant as a critism, but you'll see what you'll see.

Love & snuggles....

@Furio,

I'll ask you (nicely though) the same thing I challenge the P&D'ers with. What specific "something real" do you suggest?

For me, I'm thinking to raise the block reward just a bit, for the miners. It is currently 0.5 LTCD per block - which is way too low. It was lowered a while back, but my opinion the halving was a problem.

Also, looking into a MAC wallet. People have been left out.

Another thing is Proof of Stake. It's on my list.

Another thing is I2P (fuck TOR).

I've been asking around and pre-interviewing people for these things and more. I've been doing it quietly and not posting about it because I have no desire for the community to start hounding me to hurry up with it.

So, nobody start hounding me about it. I'm not getting paid for this, it is all volunteer time on my end and I am doing it because I take it seriously. Gonna do it right, not in haste and half-assed.

Suggestions for specific Gen 2 ideas are welcome. Suggestions for WHO are not needed. Empty suggestions of "do something real" that do not include WHAT specifically are not helpful.

Not sure what exactly you are agreeing with. Not sure what you mean by your generic reference to doing something real.

Be more specific, then put some money in the pool to help cover the bill for whatever it is you are about to constructively suggest.

agree, the airtime is not good for us.
do something real.

DEV team, could you do the community a favor. Stop reacting to those negative nancies, and break their FUD by releasing something real. We have patience, but after the break down and build up, the only thing that's gonna stop this negative spiral is actual improvements. Not saying today, not saying tomorrow, but the sooner the better.

LitecoinDark has awesome potential, especially if the coders really realease 2ng gen.
I mean look at the name, look at the community, the only thing that's holding us back now is FUD, no updates and a Image problem.

Come-on, we can fix this, and let everyone who sold of their stash and dumped the price feel sorry Smiley. Also this low price isn't all that bad, IF the new code gets released, alot of mini investors could get in on it, so that's good.

I will support the build with proofreading and dutch translation if need be

Show m what you're made of!!! Litecoindark 2nd gen!

I see a massive amount of positivity on these last few pages. As long as people like Vic don't get hacked off with being chased about developments, and the FUD sayers don't get a grip in here, then I think the coin has a really bright future. When people come together with the right attitude to fix something, it takes a lot to knock that down. Keep going guys, you've got a lot of support.
