Marketplace (very good PR) was the main reason why people buy Cloak and sent him into the top 10 coins with the largest market capitalization for a limited time. Opal has a chance to succeed where Cloak failed, it needs to speak more loudly
Whilst I agree with your sentiment, we must take into the account the current market situation of Altcoins. Since the time cloak was released the online communities for all Altcoins has contracted due to many unforeseen circumstances. One of our goals is to reach beyond the current spheres BCT IRC TWITTER, and attract other means of investment. This is the only way to ensure long term continued growth and the success of OPAL. The marketplace will give us an opportunity to expand our reach.
