I've been following this coin since the relaunch, however I just now registered an account here to comment.
While the developments coming out are awesome and the Dev team is doing a great job on that front. The Multipool is leaving quite a bit to be desired. I jumped on it early (X11) and received two payments so far. Day one was great I got 42 cloak, day 2 not so great at only 12 cloak. I don't understand why profits went down so much. I'd be better off using any one of the standard multi-pools that auto convert to BTC and conducting my own BTC-Cloak trades if this is the case. I'm not going to move my miners just yet but we need more coins added and some more transparency as to earnings.
I am curious if the coins are traded through out the day as they mature or if they are dumped all at once. If dumped all at once, its going to have a big affect on our profits due to price volatility. A coin that was profitable to mine at 8am might be worth half(or double) when traded 12-24 hours later. I emailed cryptotrain support with some coin recommendations and I was told they will add them. If you are mining on the multi-pool I encourage everyone to do the same. I recommended Bluecoin, Survivorcoin, Conspiracycoin, and Granitecoin so far.

My guess is that between day 1 and day 2 the price of Cloak jumped from less than ~40k satoshi to more than 50k satoshi. So the bitcoin mined doesn't buy as many cloak. In addition, day 2 saw more miners jump on board. Thus, unless you're one of the top miners, your percentage of total shares likely dropped. That's just my two cents.

As with all multipools, you're welcome to do it on your own. I've found this one to be the most convenient. CoinKing was bad for me. Multipool.us doesn't convert to Cloak. Hashcows doesn't either. If you truly do the comparison and write out the statistics, conversions, rate, etc, I bet you don't get much more by doing it yourself.
Lets spam this whole DRK community full of CLOAK
