Hello my dear forum member.
This is Secco, admin of Bitcoin Garden Forum, writing. Welcome to this new edition of the Bitcoin Garden Newsletter.
Wow! Bitcoin at $7800! To see a similar price, we must go back to November 2017! Just three weeks ago, in the last newsletter, we were all wondering if Bitcoin could hit and keep the $6000 mark. It did, and now it looks like it is heading to the $8000 mark. Is that real bull? Nobody knows, personally I was not expecting a such big rush, so I'm still a bit "dazed and confused", quoting an old song of the latest '60... What is clear for now, is that the party is all for Bitcoin. As you can see Ethereum struggles to keep the $200 level. And in fact, the Bitcoin Dominance Index just hit 60% and it is pointing to the sky. Side note, we saw the lower value of the index (%34) in January 2017, at the very top of crypto market.

https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=71949.0THE CLOAKCOIN ENIGMA COMPETITION: After much internal tweaking, revising and testing, Team Cloak is very excited to announce the first CloakCoin ENIGMA Competition! ENIGMA is an off-blockchain decentralized payment system from the CloakCoin Project. ENIGMA runs on Cloak nodes along with CloakShield to provide peer to peer mixing, encryption, and onion routing. ENIGMA allows CloakCoins to be sent anonymously while avoiding the need to 'trust' other nodes not to steal funds or leak sensitive information. ENIGMA guarantees fungibility, avoiding the chance of any coins being tainted, meaning all coins remain equal and interchangeable. Purpose of the competition is to challenge the ENIGMA technology. In case of decryption of the ENIGMA transaction, it can help to further improve the Privacy and Security of the ENIGMA Payment System and the CloakCoin network, analogous to an external security audit. The Cloak Team is searching for possible vulnerabilities that could compromise users Privacy and they want to attract conscious minds to interact with their Privacy Tech. Additionally, they want to spread awareness of an anonymous, fungible transaction on the CloakCoin blockchain. Starting from this TxID (
