Excellent, this is what we need to hear, and hopefully on twitter. Thank you.

In my opinion, the developers are doing a fine job communicating what is going on with Cloak. You have to realize how new this currency is. I think putting out White Papers, Giving release dates, Updating progress and other daily news lessens the market shock from the positive improvements.     Imagine if Cloak released the PoSA update with just some general info about an update. The market would be shocked and act accordingly. It sets a precedence that you better stay in the currency or else you could miss a huge uptick. Now on the release you Market heavy and get the news out, The market loves positive surprises.
   Everybody here just sits back because they know they have sometime to buy. They will buy back  a couple days before the release.They will sale when it is released and the prices spike up. I am not saying keep us in the dark about delays or such. I also understand that this is community driven and people want to know what is going on but the market loves surprises.. Just my 2 coins worth..

thanks for the cheap CLOAK. Dont let the door hit you on the way out.  

...but of course you're welcome to buy back in when the price has exploded.  

Sad to see how the definition of "community" excludes those who are offering constructive criticism.

Your welcome

Wow, your immaturity is really on display.

You were kicked out of the IRC by CrazyLoaf because you were saying the same thing over and over (still are) and the final straw came when you said the following:


< cryptodaknight>.....let me tell my investment group that holds about 200k cloak collectively, we can all dump on you at once then

Well that is truth and it was cause crazyloaf and others were being very rude, go look and see, then started a fight. I was not saying same thing over and overwith, others also agreed with me, and your distorting the truth there. Many were saying same thing, where is the marketing. This half truth, even crazyloaf said he did not read all that happened before he came in. So he was biased from get go by a few fanboys which will say rararara nomatter what.

This is pointless, we all are on same team trying to get coin value up, but some are doing same thing i've seen in so many coins that just wait attitude, this coin is new, blah blah blah. Most those coins died or are much lower.

Point being dagger, if you would have explained to people, when prices were tanking that marketing is coming, I am willing to be your selloff would not have happened.

As for those saying we don't want a pump and dump, agreed, but it's naive thinking. PnD will happen to any coin that is successful. You won't be able to avoid it, to some degree it will happen. But most PnD of good coins remain higher than before the PnD.

If this coin has more to offer than PnD people will eventually hold and buy more after dust settles and everyone will know about cloak cause it got attention. Anyways, I guess bringing up obvious things to you is where i get attacked, so be it, but many have money on line and like it or not want to know what next moves are with marketing once new PoSA are out, not on 4th of July weekend when people are not paying attention.

Being a passive reader of this thread and having no reference to IRC,(I haven't visited the channel yet), what has become apparent to me is the mounting frustration of the community. This frustration, I believe, is born of the price movement of cloak and not in the general approach taken by the devs. To me, 2 main groups have emerged, those who want to wait and see and those who are pushing for more marketing from the devs. Both camps are feeling the heat of the price and stagnation of trading. First, to both groups, this coin is only 3 weeks old and is roughly double from where it started. I know it's a different story depending on where you may have bought, ie closer to 9 or 7. To everyone, the economics of the coin are great at this price. 5 million coins. It only takes time. Patience is needed. The devs have done a great job of keeping people in the loop as to what is going on with developments. Can't really ask for more. Whether cloaksend gets released on the 4th or some other holiday means little as I believe people will buy into the release, ie, the price should rise as we get closer to implementation. Marketing is something we all can do and not restricted to jusst the devs. For those concerned with getting the word out, we should, as a community, discuss and plan how to market cloak. Remember though, a working product is needed and cloak is not there yet.

Please stop telling us how to do our jobs when we can see that your logic is flawed.

We have an unfinished product, therefore marketing is not happening at this stage.

Other than dev videos on youtube, twitter posts and this forum no we are not marketing.

Think about the following and realise what you are saying.

CLOAK is barely 3 weeks old: in that time we built an anon system, the first of it's kind... using exchanges then deaddrop wallets and listening servers... it is not using CoinJoin which may be about to be exposed for complete ineffectiveness... our anon system is working right now in CloakSend 1.1 however due to the nature of it... it is centralized and not entirely trustless.

So, that being a concern we are constantly listening to the market and we release a preliminary whitepaper for CloakSend 2.0 featuring a truly p2p decentralized anon system working on an entirely trustless way.

We heard that people wanted TOR in their wallet... So we added it in the last update.

Now to say we need to up our marketing efforts whilst we are EXTREMLY busy with getting this coin into shape, when we are this young and have already done so much is at times quite insulting. Having to write posts like this is also counter productive.

Think about what you are saying and bare in mind the following.

Did darkcoin become successful in 3 weeks?

No, it took about 3 months.

Did Vericoin blow up in 3 weeks?

No, it took about 7 to get going, they were plagued with bugs when they went foll PoS.

Did monero take off in 3 weeks?

No, it took a couple of months at least.

Did Bytecoin take of straight away?

No.

Infact, name a coin that got massive success in 3 weeks.

You seem to claim that a successful coin is made from "marketing".

What happened when Doge pulled the biggest altcoin marketing feat to date: sponsoring a nascar (racecar)... Did that actually help and raise the value of that coin?

Does the fact that Wankcoin (yes that's what it's called) is on Pornhub, mean it instantly has acquired massive value? By your logic it would.

Please demonstrate some effective marketing campaigns, the budget and the result rather than just telling us to drop some dev work and concentrate on marketing.
