Since the in-house payment system ENIGMA is Open-Source and the Audit-Report has been published, CloakCoin attracts more and more attention. This article aims to bring CloakCoin closer to you and to give you an overview on, why it is totally undervalued.

What is CloakCoin?

CloakCoin is a decentralized and anonymous cryptocurrency, first created in mid-2014. CloakCoin uses a pure Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus, that offers an interest of 6 % p.a. on staked coins. Additionally, users are able to support the ENIGMA-Transactions and earn therefore the 1,8 % fee.

This has now officially been confirmed by Cognosec a NASDAQ-listed cyber-security company. The result was released on the 22/01/2018. You can find the “Security Audit Report” here. The announcement from the Cloak-Team can be found here. This is a milestone and shows, that CloakCoin provides true anonymity and can be 100 % trusted by its users.

So what exactly is the Open-Source and the Security Audit Report about. In the following I want to explain the Enigma-Transaction and the Cloakshield.

Enigma-Transactions

CloakCoin wallets connect to each other and Cloakshield enables them to establish a private onion routing network like TOR and on this private network the wallets find participants to create and send ENIGMA transactions. ENIGMA produces transactions that are ‘cloaked’ by other wallets. This means that as well as ENIGMA senders adding their funds to the ENIGMA transaction, Cloakers also provide matching amounts, which they receive back alongside a reward for helping to Cloak the send. This means that anyone examining the transaction cannot determine who is sending and who is receiving funds.

CloakShield

CloakShield offers a secure and private CloakCoin-Network for the exchange of encrypted messages between all Enigma nodes. It uses ECDH/RSA encryption to protect all communication required by Enigma.

Roadmap

For a cryptocurrency it’s not just important what has been established already, it’s also important to know, what are the ideas and plans for the future. The Roadmap shows, that a lot of points have been accomplished already. Still there will be new features added, that makes CloakCoin even more userfriendly, secure and accessible to everyone.

Roadmap

Summary

CloakCoin never had an ICO growthfund and therefore the budget for further Developments, Marketing, PR-Campaigns and the Ability to pay Fees to be added on exchanges, is limited. So at the end of this article, there is only one thing left to say: What are you waiting for? Get involved in whatever way possible!
