Hello Ivugeo Friends! Sorry for the big silence. We had a real reason to keep silence almost 6 days. Firstly do not panic, everything is fine, just read my ann and update your wallet! So, about one week after first hacker attack we recieved in our online support - Zopimchat, this...

we are the invisible hand group. We are responsible for the 51% attacks against Gulden (nlg) debitcoin.org/de-week-van-bitcoin-35-de-terugkeer-van-de-gulden-met-efl-en-guldencoin/ . Needless to say, these attacks lead to a myriad of negative outcomes including:
Lack of user trust.
Lack of trust from exchanges.
De-listing from exchanges.
Loss of value.
And many more.
We estimate the total loss to the founders and owners of the project was around $15,000 USD.
With that said, now it's your turn.
In 96 hours, we will attack IEC. Looking at the depth of the books across exchanges, we estimate we can proft about 20 btc or about $8,000. We also suspect that this will cause a damage to your company in excess of that amount.
If 15 btc are paid to 14G9LzYJXJWHJVHUVdcVwoMQUAc16CKQR2, we will not attack your coin and you will never hear from us again. If not, your coin will be attacked. We will not tell anyone that you paid and we will not return.
Lastly, if you would like proof that we are who we say we are, we can sign a message with the wallets used in the NLG attacks.
After that we immediately decided to check our wallet. We did not find suspicious errors, but nevertheless, we completely revamped the wallet to avoid potential problems!At the same time, we rented 300MH/s for 48 hours for support our network. After that we rented 230MH/s for 72 additional hours ►

Now we have made a lot of security corrections. Anyone can check it in our source code.
Since our coin has a classical algorithm (scrypt), now our wallet is built by using Litecoin source code with the latest hot security updates v0.10.3.0rc1.
Maybe it was a stupid joke, But we decided not to risk our reputation and trust of our customers! After creating a new wallet, we secretly updated wallet to v1.6.0.0 on all services.
Now we updated all services except - Bittrex(only trading)Yobit/Blockexperts/Coinpayments - we sent them a request
Changelog:Complete upgrade from Litecoin base 0.8.7 to 0.10.3
Updated protocol version to 70009
Client version is now 1.6.0.0
Changed IvugeoEvolutionCoin to IvugeoCoin
Removed auto-checkpoints
New version Kimoto Gravity Wave
Other Security Updates
Features added due to the upgrade:Watch-only wallet support
Faster blockchain synchronization due to headers-first synchronization and support for downloading blocks in parallel.
Improved signing security due to using the libsecp256k1
Strict DER encoding for signatures (BIP 66)
Overall cleaner base with better code
By the way! This is an intermediate version of the wallet! In the next release, we will use a new design ►DEMO◄, we will add a lot of additional functions (notifications, home page for our all projects, stats, tickers, trade, etc.) + Some cool features and "logical decisions" For download new version of wallet use ►

About ATMsAt the last moment, our partners ►
Bitchain◄ are thrown us. They want to get a big advance payment and only after 6 months they will create for us custom version of ATMs! This offer is not suitable for us!
Our management has decided not to waste time. Our director will meet on this month with ►
Caixerbtc◄ to sign a new contract! If everything goes is successfully, then in January we will have 5 custom ATMs for buying / selling of Ivugeo Coins for fiat money!
As soon as we get more information, we will immediately report it to the new announcement!
About Day and NightHave a nice day or night! Ivugeo team
Damn so many hack/extortion events in such a short time. It could have just been a "spook", someone tested if you would budge (Its never good to pay the extortion money). I hope you got the exchange working as intended, id really like to see if the "silver" and "Gold" coins come back so we could get them.
I hope you guys find a good company to take care of the ATM's.
