Nobody listen to the guy, any coin can use TOR.
Open Wallet > Settings > Options > Network > Tick Connect through SOCKS proxy > Input IP and Port from the TOR network.
Voila instant TOR on any coin that's based on bitcoin's wallet.

And if that were the only innovation of CLOAK, then it would already be good news
that through it, more people realize now that they have this option with cryptocurrencies.



Notice how the dev deleted my comment.

Your argument is valid, but WTF? This is the type of self-moderation that kills coins. I didn't flame nor bash anyone, merely showed how anyone can implement TOR.

I believe what is being developed is a native TOR controller to the client. Your method is valid but you would need to be running TOR software for it to work. Basically the idea would be through your wallet you would be able to start and stop TOR. Similar to : https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en

This is trivial compared to the native trading function which is the real news here. In comparison, critiquing the is or is not of the tor integration is just a failed attempt to take focus off of the real innovation in this coin - native exchanges. However, instructions on setting up TOR the traditional method is much appreciate.

Self-moderation is more of a necessity now because of all of the trash that hijack threads to spread dis-information. I'm a huge advocate of free-speech but some of the dis-information that gets smeared around in some of these threads is the equivalent of an infant smearing feces all over the newly painted walls. All of these threads are moderated in one way or another - don't blame the OP blame the retarded cointraders that think this is a hockey game.

Thank you for clarifying this.

There are reasonable people out there after all Smiley

I am impressed CLOAK has natively implemented TOR anonymity. Great news!
