Masternodes can easily be DDoSed and put down, there are also problems with coins like Lisk with delegate nodes. Cloak uses any user that participates in POS for perfect anonymity. Cloakers fuel enigma, and there can be so many cloakers without pricey upfront masternode costs. Anyone can help secure cloak and help anonymous transactions process.

care to look into the 'trusted setup', which is antithetical to crypto-principles...

also anonimity is 'opt-in' and not enforced on the protocol-level...

best regards

I think the reason it is left behind is the source is closed, thus noone can see how fast the dev team is moving, thus noone wants to throw a ton of money at it.

Ok explain me how can you be so sure that code posted on github is complete or the right one? I mean they can add completely different code there and you can enjoy lies..I mean code reviewing is very serious job and must be done by neutral person, and this is tricky also, who is this person?

Cloakcoin was a scam but it's over. The new story is coming!

The team has done a tremendous job and full of development will still happen.

The technology is excellent and a real innovation, not a copy of another project.

The comparison is useless! I like this project, this great team and the spirit of the project, have no doubt about the project's ability.

Good continuation to Cloakcoin!

More than 2 years new team worked on Enigma and now it is announced that code will be revealed in the next 3 months. Cloak team is decided to take part of a cake of markets share..
Monero is still good opportunity and it is posible to jump like DASH, only GUI wallet killing it i belive.

Usually everybody is advised to avoid any Monero vs Whatever trollfests at all cost. But can' resist, so here's some rambling:

Closed source is of limits, period. No need to discuss this any further.

Spagni's Face is known and looking acceptable. Almost. Well, not totally bad. A diet, a shaving, more sports perhaps. That seems sufficient to me. You can't force all participants to lower their pants. Some cherish privacy.
(years forward you could do that shocking group picture)

The GUI is kept kinda as Monero's joker. It's a complete joke allready. Nobody needed one anyways, and the dozen people that realy needed a GUI have created a dozen unofficial GUIs allready. Even some obscure stuff done in AutoIT, god heavens! I once dabbled with AutoIT because of automising work tasks on desktop, and the original developper downloads have been infested with malware infections according to my scanner. Would only utilize for occupational nuclear power plants maintenance tasks, but keeping that stuff away from anything private crypto related.

The shallow idiotic mindless drivel they all post here is tiring.
The standard reply about any coin is.. "xyz coin is great and community moon wow holy cow riches !"
Then you ask "How"
And another guy shows up and says pretty much the same thing.
No one ever will explain how or why.
They will just keep shoveling shallow / hollow little retorts.

It's like saying i am the greatest person who ever lived in human history.
What would you all think ?
Why maybe ?
Oh but not here LOL
Nope at Bitcointalk you can shovel bullshit for bucks till your blue in the face.. because it woks apparently.

The beauty of this place is you can post about MLM scam coins then pander to people with little to no English skills then hand them simple little platitudes and they will be parted with their money.
Because they are greedy idiots.

The greed machine that is crypto is boring.
It's really a giant scene for idiots and a few whales to manipulate them.
I don't think too many intelligent people would play a rigged crooked scammy Altcoin scene profits game.

Worst part of all of this greedy bullshit is the users turned crypto into a massive digital pyramid scheme system.. where endless coins keep rolling out fer teh ROI'z.
Which is bad obviously because it's self destructive and unsustainable but even worse..
It's fucking boring as all hell !

Maybe you're right, maybe then they will be comparable. Till then i will lock this thread, to avoid hijacking, or spamming. When CLOAK code sees the light of day then Monero experts can review it and give their opinions.
