Lol, wouldn't be suprised if the team was behind the pump

I seriously doubt people are joining stex and doing kyc to buy a privacy coin and let alone Cloak

Buy side of the order book is so thin you couldn't even sell a medium stack without pushing the price right back where it was

Dear Cloak Community,

In this CloakCoin Developer Report, we want to inform you about the current status of our project and the development progress. With detailed updates, we strive to be fully transparent about the progress.

CURRENT STATUS OVERVIEW

There are multiple branches and suggestions about CloakCoin and BitcoinCore. We can finally confirm that we have been starting from 0.17.1 to Bitcoin 0.21.0.

WHY WE CHOOSE 0.21.0 OVER 0.17.1?

Basically, our latest Cloak 0.17.1 rebase was not finished at that time and still needs a lot of effort. Even ENIGMA Engine v1.2 and stealth addresses are not integrated. After an intensive review of the current Cloak Codebase 0.17.1, we noticed that it is more advantageous to update to 0.21.0 to ensure the latest technological status. Among other things, BitcoinCore v0.21.0 offers new features, various bug fixes and more performance. Notable changes such as updates in the P2P network, RPCs, and Wallet. Also, security and performance factors have been updated like in consensus, policy, mining, block, and transaction handling.

Check the latest Bitcoin Core release notes here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.21.0

WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Originally, we targeted to rebase from Bitcoin 0.21.0 and add the latest Phoenix update which synced in 0.17.cloak commits to our new 0.21.0 branch to make sure it compiles first.

This is heavy work and required manually validate all commits because a lot of functions and files have already been changed and replace even removed from 0.21.0. Once we finish moving all commits to 0.21.0, we will need to make sure it compiles and syncing the daemon properly. After that, we will need to make sure if it can connect to another new client, and check if it can connect to the other old/current clients, and make sure if it can receive/sync the blocks from them.

There is a new branch on Github and you can check every development activity. Furthermore, Anorak checks and monitors all changes on Github.

Detailed progress (codebase upgrade):

- Base off from Bitcoin core 0.21.0 (success to compile and launch)

- Daemon now syncs up to block 8779 [#=5ca1568f775e46440d52471f1af7dc6dd6a69c965157ded45457182234315c5f]

- Header verification fails due to CheckPoW failing for PoS block headers. This can probably be addressed using checkpoints as the PoW mining period has now ended.

- There is an issue with peers being banned for sending duplicate headers. This may well only manifest when syncing with older [legacy] peers, but should be addressed if possible, to provide for as smooth a launch as possible.

- EvalScript (via VerifyScript) sometimes fails due to the script stack completing evaluation with a [false] return value present on the stack. This also causes peers to be banned and should be resolved.

- Merge Sync/PoS changes

- Resolve secp256k1_ecdsa_verify issue with TX validation

Github:

https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/pull/50
https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/pull/49
https://github.com/CloakProject/codename-phoenix/pull/48


SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

Basically, we have succeeded to migrate around 2/9 of PRs from the latest 0.17.cloak and hoping to finalize all migration in the next few weeks. There aren´t any technical barriers. It´s just taking time due to some functions and files replaced, changed or updated in the new Bitcoin Core. Furthermore, time is needed to investigate and test all functions manually.

Thank you

Lol, the team predicts that dexes are the future. No shit sherlock. We've known and suggested that 3 years ago and we urged to get the codebase upgrade done. One community member even did a dex proposal. The team nonetheless decided to spend $1m on binance listing instead of development

Did Binance refund that $1M at least after they delisted?

They do not pay refunds for delistings

What a waste of 1 million! Tongue

Truly a waste of money and we have not heard of Binance ever refunded after delisting. If it isn't really delisted, this could be one of the coin that already pumped higher than the defi tokens.

Maybe the team can try adding Cloak to the top DEX https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/dex/ like nash exchange, Birake and vitex. There ones where it is now listed are not very known. Maybe one will be willing to buy at yobit but normally that exchange don't update its blockchain that is why we can't withdraw there.

Dear Cloak Community,

It has been a while since our last update and we have been very busy with planning the new strategy for CloakCoin to be competitive on the market. This year has possibly been the strangest year in our lifetime, due to COVID-19. But we are very optimistic that 2021 is going to be a much better year and we are happy to make CloakCoin one of the most advanced cryptocurrencies on the privacy market.


DEVELOPMENT

As we already announced in previous development updates the codebase upgrade has been already started. Now, we are happy to inform you that the code base upgrade to v0.17.0.1 is now fully funded thanks to the core team and long-term Cloak supporters. Our developer has already resumed the task and we estimate this to be finalized in 8-10 weeks from now on.

The original CloakCoin codebase is based on an outdated version of Bitcoin and it will require portions of code to be refactored and rewritten to bring a lot more stability, security, and testing. We strive to be fully transparent about the progress and publish a report every second week.

What sort of possibilities are there with the new Codebase upgrade?

- Atomic swaps
- Integration on decentralized exchanges
- Integration on multi wallets
- Governance system
- More stability and performance

We are also looking into the Defi markets and planning how we could get CloakCoin integrated and benefit most from it. Among other things, we have also thought about offering ENIGMA on the Ethereum chain. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task and almost impossible to implement. This also applies to other blockchains. ENIGMA only works with the best-operating conditions on our CloakCoin blockchain. Atomic Swaps is the solution to connect CloakCoin to other chains.

EXCHANGES

Unfortunately, the Livecoin hack also affected CloakCoin's liquidity. We always recommend to hold your coins on our desktop wallet. We are carefully selecting to be listed on legit exchanges with long term potential. Since our current focus is now on development, we focus more on decentralized exchanges and see this as the future for privacy.

The recent weeks showed an attack on privacy in the delisting waves of centralized exchanges. Privacy will be an issue on centralized exchanges. We strongly believe that decentralized exchanges, atomic swaps, and steady development are the keys to survival. In the short term, we propose to get listed on another potential centralized exchange and focus on the upgrade of the codebase.


MARKETING

We started to work with a big advertising agency and will spread the message of CloakCoin via email marketing to potential crypto investors. We also partnered with Blockidex a crypto community platform to get also more exposure. We approached influencers and got their inquiries which we will accept as soon as possible. We will also focus on new vendors to increase the adoption and offer Giveaways to attract new investors to our social media channels.

We thank you all for sticking with us together. If we all put our hands together, we can get everything done!

We will keep you up to date!

We are CloakStrong!

So with no livecoin and bittrex delisting privacy coins (please don't say we are currently negotiating) what is the next move?

No CEXes because there is no development and no money. No DEXes because there is no development and Cloak is stuck on the old code


In other words, cloak is going to go....... nowhere!

Not necesserily. It can still go down

As pointed out here Cloak is functional and secure. If you don't like it then go graze another pussy and leave the community in peace. Criticism is easy but art is difficult. Action!

Cloak coins are made to be used, if you don't use it or you don't understand that then I can't help you.



The argument that every single idiot is using - Bravo!

Today it is clearly not a nice move, from anyone, to warn people against the risks they are taking by investing in a project like Cloakcoin. A project that hasn't delivered on any parameter, if so then please tell me which?

And again, I mentioned a few pointers, also regarding security and transactions that are uncrackable. Please point out where I am wrong?
You are also saying, more or less, that the community should try to move together and help out the team. I can for myself say that I tried to contact the project, years ago about their pitch etc. so I could go out and contact danish companies personally and establish some kind of acceptance or partnerships.
- The answer was, it was better to just give the contact details to the team and let them do it. So please, the team don't even want the help, to some extend.  

I will once again stand by my statement: Cloakcoin is and has been managed so unprofessional so it is the closest thing to a scam, that any legit project will ever be.
- That is the result of poorly management, communication and developments all in all.

Can confirm this. I've been following cloak since 2016. This is a shady and scammy project with amateur leadership if you can even call it that. The team leader is not leading, the devs aren't developing, community managers are not communicating with community etc.

Roadmaps are blatant lies and they do not have a penny in their pocket whether for listings or development. All major exchanges delisted cloak and I'm positive the new ones won't list it cause there is no development or money to pay for listings. And Cloak can not be used by Dexes as it is stuck on the old codebase. What's left of the community are the bagholders who are drinking much hopium cause they went all in and are now missing gains with other coins.

To sum up. There has been no development for the last 3 years, important team members left the team, no exchanges, no money, no community. It doesn't get worse than this. Avoid at all costs. I'm still a holder and I'm fucked but I can still try to save some poor suckers like I was in the past
