Could someone explain to me why is PoSA v2 anonymous?
Ally has 2 PoSA addresses: Joe's and Node#1.
The transaction flow is the following:
tx#1 Ally is sending coins to Node#1 PoSA address together with Joe's PoSA address (how do you send the address in a transaction?).
tx#2 Node#1 is sending coins to Joe's PoSA address. (this was not (well) described in the diagram)
tx#3 Joe is sending coins from his PoSA address to Node#2 PoSA address
tx#4 Node#2 is sending coins to Joe's receiving address
Here is the problem I see: tx#4 is not anonymous as Joe's receiving address is linked with Ally's sending address through the above 4 transactions.
Just in case, here is the diagram with the possibly problematic line:

This is the same result as CLOAKSEND 1.0 which was nothing but a simple mixer, we need some more concrete proof, open public BETA testing, more in-depth technical info, code reviewed by trusted source....
and as far as the price declining, its obvious if you follow the blockchain that DEV/early adopter mined ALOT of cloak, worst case senerio is that cloak devs are still using simple mixer (like cloaksend/posa v1), mocked up a video to make it look like they have more advanced working anon features (and maybe pushed price up by themselves , like happend when cloak was accepted by mintpal, price automatically shot up 150%, in hopes it would stabilize and they could offload), and now dev knows that he cant produce any real proof and will refuse to do open BETA (i've been waiting WEEKS) or a peer code review, and is trying to dump as much cloak as possible, remember guys this is still an ANON DEV.... please be careful
if cloak turns out to be legit that would be awesome, we need more working anon solutions in crypto

Theres a guy on twitter offering $100K to anyone that can crack PoSA, you should try the challenge!
you will find his link back a few pages.
Sounds like you have it figured out so easy money ...
