Am I the only one who's still able to deposit CLOAK into Binance wallet? It seems a bit strange - all other coins that were de-listed from Binance have now got their deposit addresses disabled, but it seems like CLOAK's deposit addresses are still working.

Possible re-listing at Binance?

Are there some new developments coming regarding new technologies or new functionalities? Rank 556 on coinmarketcap is about our lowest point in history.

Well, CloakCoin team is still working hard on getting things back in order. CZ caused a real blow to CloakCoin's overall performance by de-listing it from Binance (which pretty much happened without any good reason(s)), even though this project was provided a "V-label" (the best possible label) by Binance's own research.

Still one of my favourite outsiders in privacy. CLOAK is cool in every way..  Little by little there is more adoption on the horizon. Team never stopped pushing through. I’m a believer since early 2017 and will be around for more years to come. Stay SAFU

Celebrate 5 years since the CloakCoin Genesis Block as Cloak celebrates its 5th Birthday!

How quickly time flies and what an incredible journey it has been. Our commitment to privacy has grown stronger with each block, our technology has evolved, and our community stuck with us through thick and thin.

On this momentous occasion, one might expect champagne and confetti all round for team Cloak. But the fact of the matter is, this milestone belongs to the community. The incredibly supportive, inspiring and thought provoking individuals that have believed in us and our vision.

As we careen toward a cashless society whereby each and every transaction will require permission from a 3rd party intermediary, the threat of surveillance capitalism threatens our right to privacy, for a human future.

Fortunately, a private, secure and untraceable cryptocurrency, such as CloakCoin provides a solid foundation to serve as a digital equivalent to cash. It is with great honour that we acknowledge this major milestone as one of the longest serving, privacy focused cryptocurrency projects in existence.

As a long running proof of stake network we pride ourselves on being one of the very few privacy projects with an auditable total money supply. Despite the ups and downs over the past five years, we’ve continued to remain focused and have broken through every barrier that stood in our way.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger and like our current project codename, Cloak Phoenix is ready to rise from the ashes.

Stay tuned during our birthday week for some exciting announcements beginning with an in-depth report from our dev team and what we’ve been cooking up to prepare us for the next five years.

Help us celebrate turning 5 by sharing our story on social media with the hashtags #CloakTurnsFive and #VerifyOurSupply

I read this on https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/issues/34 Is this going to be added to Cloak Development this year?

CloakX Proposal - The first truly private and decentralised exchange

The majority of cryptocurrency trading is conducted on centralised exchanges that provide hackers with a broad attack surface and are susceptible to a single point of failure. Trading privately and securely is increasingly difficult due to reliance on trusting a third party.

Centralised platforms are vulnerable to security threats and a single breach can compromise the assets of every user on an exchange. Many projects within the crypto space have attempted to address security and privacy issues with the implementation of a decentralised exchange (DEX).

Unfortunately, the majority of these DEX projects are not deployed to a decentralised network comprising enough individually distributed nodes. Nor do they implement any form of decentralised distribution of the user interface, the critical risk component when it comes to hacking attempts.

Despite widespread focus on the need for decentralised exchanges, efforts are wrought with profit seeking, centralisation, the unnecessary introduction of further cryptocurrencies, and of course, fees.

Introduction
While the value of privacy coins is dependent almost wholly on their ability to be privately spent, there are also many problems to be solved regarding how they are privately acquired.

Careful consideration has been given to Cloak’s current technology, upcoming developments and ongoing value proposition to both the wider cryptocurrency and general consumer markets.

Decentralised Exchange Overview
The proposed implementation of CloakX is a decentralised exchange network built atop proof of stake nodes, that reserve a fraction of machine resources to facilitate peer to peer trading. Considering Cloak already has over 100 staking nodes and migration to the new BTC codebase is approaching completion, the network is well positioned to accommodate a DEX interface embedded directly in the new hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet.

Through each wallet connected to the network, a fraction of the exchange interface would be encrypted and stored in a distributed manner on each machine participating as a staking node. As CloakCoin does not incorporate masternodes, it naturally favours the decentralisation of the user interface, as well as the APIs of all supported cryptocurrencies.

CloakCoin Network Utilisation
The decentralised exchange would be supported by the existing CloakCoin network. In order to access and trade using CloakX, users need to hold a certain amount of $CLOAK within their wallet, as a specified percentage (TBA) of their total trading portfolio.

This encourages the acquisition and holding of CloakCoins. It is also inherently aligned with the inflationary properties of the coin, as the staking rewards of 6% per year provide the ‘gas’ required to incentivise further peer to peer trading on the network.

$CLOAK Cryptocurrency Innovation
One might consider $CLOAK serving a similar utility to CloakX, as exchange utility tokens to their respective exchanges, and in future their DEX implementations.

The upcoming release of the HD wallet and new BTC codebase, will very likely welcome integration with popular hardware wallets such as those offered by Ledger, Trezor and KeepKey. These will be a critical component for secure access to CloakX and the primary means of storage for assets traded on the network.

Unlike other decentralised exchanges, CloakX will not require the creation of an additional token and there will be no trading fees on the DEX whatsoever.

CloakX Development Summary
The first implementation of CloakX could welcome trading of most of the top 100 crypto assets as a Cloak-Ethereum client. To expedite development, scale quickly with demand and access IPFS without the need to manage infrastructure, Infura is the recommended solution.

Immediately enabling access to trading of ERC-20 tokens opens up the market for user adoption greatly and best of all, Infura is free. Also, as a truly private and decentralised implementation of a DEX, such as this on the CloakCoin network, legislative risks faced by centralised exchanges are mitigated.

The function of CloakX is absolutely peer to peer.

yet, the person making this proposal is still anonymous. but it looks serious and it would be huge if this project could be realized.

CLOAKCOIN MONTHLY COORDINATOR REPORT — MAY 2019

Marketing Team20th May 2019

This year has brought some hard lessons learned, unjust treatment and radical new ideas. But more than anything it’s made us realise that we’re not in this alone. We fight for privacy against the surveillance capitalists, side by side, with the support of some incredible minds.

Most notably, our community.

A couple of weeks back, we had a new kind of coordinator meeting. One where we really took a moment to express how we’ve been feeling, what we see coming in the future and really pulling ourselves apart to see where we can improve.

An outcome of this exercise was revising the format of our coordinator reports. We went ahead and built a new ‘online workspace’ for our distributed team. We’ve been looking into refining more of our content to suit what you all want to see from us.

So here it is folks, your first ever monthly roundup from the all the coordinators in one convenient report.


JOSHUA — AUSTRALIAN COORDINATOR
G’day mates!

To really sum things up, I’ve been busy, extremely busy. For almost 18 months I’ve been working on an idea in stealth and I’ve been absolutely itching to tell the Cloak community all about it.

Pip Wallet
Some of you may have already seen the announcement. CloakCoin is coming to iOS thanks to new Pip Wallet and Windscribe partnership https://pip.cash/.


To learn more and take advantage of this announcement offer, head over to the official announcement on Telegraph https://telegra.ph/CloakCoin-is-coming-to-iOS-thanks-to-new-Pip-Wallet-and-Windscribe-partnership-05-07. We plan to launch the apps early Q4 of this year and have plenty more exciting announcements about Pip in the pipeline.


CloakX
You may have noticed a myserious proposal https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/issues/34 on the CloakCoin Github. Turns out the anonymous author is onto something. I’ve had numerous discussions with Yannik Heinze from Chainsulting https://chainsulting.de/ who is helping bring Pip to life.

The proposal is entirely feasible and would indeed be a really interesting build. Seems this “Lazaruski” individual has pretty serious intentions, appearing to have secured the domain CloakX.io anonymously… Unless it was someone else?

I personally, would go to great lengths to see CloakX https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/issues/34 become a reality.


AROUND THE CLOAK FORMAT
After 7 months of trials and tribulations, I’m glad to say I’ve finally settled on a format for the Around The Cloak videos that is both efficient and engaging.

https://youtu.be/1-dVq7rL5WQ

I’ve received some great feedback from the community saying they’re liking this type of video. But please let me know if you’d like to see me taking the Around The Cloak series in a different direction.


EDCON Sydney
I was very fortunate to receive a free ticket to the Ethereum developer conference. Perfect timing after reading the CloakX proposal…

Lark’s got his MOON shirt on ladies and gents!

While I was there, I met the one and only Crypto Lark. He’d flown over from New Zealand and like me, had a few beers and enjoyed the company of the Aussie crypto crowd.

https://twitter.com/satoshua/status/1118307921459200000

Young Louie knows what’s up.

Lark partnered up with Alex and the Nugget’s News team to put on a meetup after EDCON, so I went along and it was great catching up with the boys from Tasmania. Even gave Alex who recently became a Dad, a little something special for his first child, Louie.


Keep an eye on Pip Wallet
A big part of my focus moving forward is Pip, and what together with CloakCoin we can do. We’re in a great position to really make some waves, so join our Telegram https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFkArWZ4X06c2dhulw group so you can stay up to date!

Cheers from down under,

Joshua


ASERTIN — TURKISH COORDINATOR
Dear Cloak Family,

IGORS — RUSSIAN COORDINATOR
Dear Cloak Community,

According to my comparison table between top privacy coins and some others projects (results can be found in my previous report) that was made in March, I decided to work on following tasks that will effectively help to develop CloakCoin (work will continue all this year):

Use cases. Continue analyzing privacy market to find the best direction for CloakCoin as anonymous cryptocurrency.
Wallet user interface. Continue my work on mobile wallets UI implementation using other wallets and personal experiences.
Awareness raising. Created an idea how to attract new users to cryptomarket (idea will be realized in mid-May and published across all CloakCoin social medias).
Other everyday works:

Translations, communication with community and exchanges, social media activities.

I will be glad to hear your suggestions and ideas for improving and further developing the CloakCoin project.

Peace and Love

Igors


IWIDEPIWI — DUTCH COORDINATOR
Hey everyone,

Another month has passed, everyone is working hard to give Cloak the recognition it deserves.

We do it all with passion for the project to create awareness on how important privacy is. Privacy is something to cherish. It is ours. We shouldn’t get exploited by big companies using our data for profits. Or by governments controlling us, stripping us of our Self-ownership . We need to be aware and try to fight these mechanisms not with force, but with kindness and intellect.

The crypto industry is a social movement, yes the game is nice: you win some you lose some. But ultimately we offer people across world the means to take control of their financial independence. Crypto knows no borders, doesn’t discriminate, crypto gives freedom to all.

SHIBOB — VIETNAMESE COORDINATOR
Dear Cloak Community!

Last month, we continued to promote CLOAK in Crypto Vietnam Community and had several education articles.

In April 07, we attended The 4th Global Chain — 2019 Vietnam Blockchain Day http://the4thglobalchain.com/default/index.php which will be hold in Hanoi, with more than 1000 people attending. The event was co-organized by Government. I would like to send back my tweet about CLOAK Vietnam Community participating in event:


https://twitter.com/ShiBob89/status/1120664501076938758


During the event, we have met a lot of local KOLs, Vietnamese and foreign projects.

Last month, we keep translating and updating Cloak’s blogs and news to community.

Recently, there are a lot of exchanges have been expanding in Vietnam. We see this is a big chance to expanding CLOAK branding over here.

Peace & Love,

Shibob


EXSLAVE — PORTUGUESE/BRAZIL COORDINATOR
Hello community!

CloakCoin will be present at BitConf 2019 — https://www.bitconf.com.br/  the biggest crypto-event in Brazil, and a excelent opportunity to showcase CloakCoin.



So this month I prepared CloakCoin’s presence in BitConf 2019 by partenering with one of the biggest Crypto influencers — Vô Epanimondas.

Epaminondas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPO_MW7CJeqUpBNtzLXmLWg is one the most active voices on BlockChain awarness and education in Brazil — Partnering wish such a popular and respected figure, will surelly bring value and atention to Cloak’s image. Apart from interaction with users at the Epanimondas stand, there will be 1000 magazines distributed at the event and a full page will be presenting CloakCoin and its main features. Marketing wise there will also be t-shirts distribution and a presentation video that will be aired on Epanimondas’s youtube channel.

Contacts for reputable exchanges listings continue, and we are currently engaged in negotiations in a effort to make CloakCoin more acessible to Brazilian users.

Translations and original social media content continue to be produced. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPO_MW7CJeqUpBNtzLXmLWg

Peace & Love,

Exslave


RYOMIN — ITALIAN COORDINATOR
Hi Cloak family,

This month I worked to get an interview for the Project Manager lasvegas83 and developer anorak on Bitcoingarden.org and have been busy working on an educational video on how important transaction privacy is and how Cloak could solve this problem with its privacy features.

I also continued my translation work and my communication with various people inside the local and international space to bring some collaborations to a close. These take time to nurture and I’m proud to say we have made good progress.

Finally I’ve been focused on researching potential collaborations with various businesses. I created another businesses list and sent it to Ivan for the adoption plan so that we can collaborate on growing adoption further.

Thank you for the kindness and support.

Ryomin


SUMMING UP!
Thanks so much for joining us and keeping up to date with the efforts of our awesome coordinator team. Don’t forget that we are running the ENIGMA Competition where you can win 10,000 CLOAK if you crack the code.


Why Using a Privacy Coin Preserves Our Rights as Global Citizens
Big Brother's surveillance of your whereabouts is incessant and increasingly invasive. Entering public spaces within most developed countries means being on camera, like it or not. Take China, for example. For 30 days, the country's government mandated a program that scanned the faces of over 500,000 citizens to track members of a minority group.



We’re very pleased to announce that an article about ENIGMA has been published on The Startup, one of the most popular publications on Medium. They have approximately 450,000 subscribers, so it’s great exposure for the project.

Until next time, remember to Pay With Cloak, Not Your Privacy!

When the one in June is coming out?
