Here is a thread discussing this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cloakcoins-posa-is-not-a-trustless-system-for-anonymous-transaction-713836

So far there's been no answers, but there will probably be when they know how they are going to do it.

Its not a coins fault if someone gets hacked on the internet. Someone could steal your bitcoin or redirect your miners to their pool lol Not the coins fault. The fault lies with you and it is your job to protect your machine. Someone could hack your bank accounts. Should you stop using a bank?

I lost 28`184 Cloakcoins...

Sir, are you begging for cheaper coins here?

I hope I can get an clear answer

I have been with cloak since the launch on bittrex. Bouhgt a lot of coins at 7-10k and already sold them (weeks ago)
Now I am following cloak again, because it seems to be a legit and serious long term project! 500pages is a "good" sign for active community...
So what is going on right now? The volume on bittrex is declining, but the price is rising?

I guess we have a lot of fake buys and sells going on...

In my opinion we reached the tip of the iceberg and slow sell off has begun.

What do you think? Pm me if you want!

Not really true.  Teamviewer is a fully encrypted connection.  Both video and keystrokes.  Not sure if that can defend against keyloggers installed on the computer you are viewing, but at least your internet or LAN traffic cannot be monitored because of its end to end encryption.  Always be sure your remote connection is fully encrypted.  Free versions of software, like Real VNC for example, are not always fully encrypted, therefore any keystrokes and data can easily be deciphered.

You mean more like 75% are pure scam.

7.1 Also install antimalware software-https://www.malwarebytes.org/
8.Use Ccleaner
9.Virtual keyboard(for password)
10,Scan files with-https://www.virustotal.com

Optional:
Install Linux(dual boot)
Install https://www.virtualbox.org/(Install Linux)

Yep. I'm paranoid on security, I guess there's a lot of malware running around...

so beginner's guide to security (please add and help to improve these suggestions):

1. Do not use pirated software on the same computer you have your wallets... ..they might contain
keyloggers etc. (I know lot of people are on pirated windows....but still)

2. Be careful of new coins and installing their wallets, if it was a scam coin (around 5-10 % of all coins are pure scam coins) they might contain malware.

3. Install a good firewall that reports all in/outgoing activity. I'm with mac and I am using "little snitch"...it's great

4. Do not keep teamviewer running on the background. Try to minimize your time on remote connections. Never leave them running for hours in the background.

5. Don't trust random people from the internet, who want to help you.

6. Keep your important wallet.dat's in a usb stick(s), or network isolated machine with ssd disks. Paper wallet might be a good idea too.

7. ? More? please help us be safe.

This is a good point but it is also good to call out the offensive attacks which are techniques from other forces one may not always understand. 


Also a good point so to separate the different 'threads' of discussion (if possible). 


Excellent point.  Been following your posts for over a year now I think.  Interesting we have similar coin(s) in common. 

Are they told you something?  Usually are very fast when they have to solve a problem.  16 days seams too much, there's something wrong.

Oh and I opened a ticket already with them..16 days ago : /

Thanks StephenJH! I'll try that and see where it takes me.

With my withdrawals everything went well!
Submit a ticket!

You confirmed the withdrawal via email? Open a ticket and tweet @horusisthesun with the ticket number.

Is anyone else having issue with CLOAK withdrawals (or any type of withdrawal for that matter) from Crypsty? I attempted to withdraw my coins from Crypsty 16 days ago.. Is there anything you guys would recommend?

I'm still catching up on posts from the weekend but I have to say that I support your opinion here Bob.  Drk has been making a bunch of promises and baiting people in all along.  Promises, promises.  The Drk supporters want to protect the 'identity' and perception of the coin as a leader in anything 'anon' just by talking the loudest and silencing dissenting opinion.  You have a right to post there as much as anyone else, particularly with facts. 

The whole 'fud' thing is way overused at this point.  When noobs come into these forums they should be given information just because there are so many ripoff artists in this game.  Just makes them think about what to do with their hard earned money/savings.  Some holders are just mad they didn't sell earlier, that is the reality.  As I've said before, it is likely better to be diversified around coins but it is sometimes easy to get one-sided.  This is the only 'free lunch' on w@$& street as they say. 

On that note; coin values are still averaging out as I had thought and I would expect further increases particularly in cloak as it's market cap is still below that of BC/XC/MON/BYTE/DRK.  If you like the coin, hold with confidence. 

Kudos to the dev teams and the hard work they are no doubt putting in on a daily basis.  Bravo and keep up the good work!! 

I don't think that info has been detailed yet. I believe the node must comply with 'rules' in order to gain trust. So yep, need to trust it to comply.
I'm guessing nodes that comply are invisible to the sender and receiver, so it is trustless in the sense that nobody actually knows who/what is being trusted. Therefore making it tamper-proof?

I also have limited understanding.

So to try to steer this back into the intellectual direction, can anyone explain with any more detail than the whitepaper as to how cloaksend works?  How does having an intermediary node safely obfuscate the transaction?  Does this not require trust in the node?
