[ANN] [CLOAK] Cloakcoin | No Premine | X13 | Decentralized Market and PoSA

Super nice!

[batty634]

thanks for the update, very clear and informative

[DaveyJones]

Im glad that the forking issue will be solved, this will lessen the amount of "i cant get my wallet to sync", "i forked" and "my coins are not showing up" posts significantly

[cryptodaknight]

we need a community leader..not just saying "the coin has a bright future", "cloak to da moon", blah blah blah ....

Yeah, i tried telling them that in IRC, afraid they have the belief good product sells itself. Well, that's fine, i sold half my stash on that news knowing there was no marketing plan in place.

Let's hope word of mouth really works, since all i can tell is that is what they expect to happen.

[heartastack]

Does that mean the current release schedule is still relevant? That was the main concern afterall

[cryptodaknight]

Well, looks like anyone with more than a few BTC is now trapped in the coin, nobody to buy. All or nothing now what a thrill!

No comments on patch progress or potential 2.0 delay still? Don't be like cinni coin.. They started out with great community support then totally fell apart at the first technical challenge.

We had a lot of noise about the cloaktrade feature which still does not work a few days after launch. Has any progress been made?

Never fails to amaze me, how much value can go up in smoke when just a solid, open line of communication can prevent capital flight. Say what you want about the DRK board, they have had loads of 'challenges'  (setbacks) but the board is updated several times daily by devs themselves. I know the devs are hard at work, but this is also an integral part of any startup venture.

Bingo, and crazyloaf booted me for saying this stuff. Seems like cloakcoin developers are not great at marketing there own coin.

Can anyone summarize what's going on with this?  I'm following way to many coins now.

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.

If you would check blackcoin and their Marketing campaign then you would know that marketing alone won't do a effect as well.
What we need is more time to be noticed, this is not a Pump and Dump coin so be patient

Not true, black hired a PR firm which was complete waste of money. There isn't really anything we need to pay for here to get people interested. Just look at vericoin and what they are doing on twitter daily and uncloaked themselves. I skype video chat or something professional like developers on webpage showing who they are, something done right like that would raise prices and keep from slipping, even gain new investors.

Developers should really consider doing some proactive marketing, which is nothing more than free stuff. We don't need to spend dime right now, but reassure people outside of BTC talk about this coin.

This coin is nothing to most people, why? They have no idea what is being created here, or what cloakcoin is doing with tech and anon. Heck, most have no clue there are 4 full time developers and 2 part time.

Stuff like this is not tweeted or presented enough, and in early stages you need to have a plan when prices slip, to keep people interested with updates on twitter.

Search twitter for vericoin, and tons of things come up, cloakcoin on twitter just a handful of people, including me post about it.

I would hope one of the developers would take the lead and uncloak themselves or activelly take over twitter and update there almost daily. Little bit goes a long way in these markets.

Excellent post.

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.

I disagree, let first the groundbreaking stuff be ready and bug free, after that the Coin can do PR and Devs can give a face and attract other people, that way you will create a much bigger impact. Rather give investors a platform then speculators and their riding wave stuff

Good luck CLOAK

Please be patient with us in terms of marketing.

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

This. We know that we can trust this team. When they think it's time for marketing, they will do it.

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

Precisely.  Otherwise you don't get full effect.

We don't need to vote for anything. the coin will be added if they want it. Most of us here could care less if poloniex adds it
