I ask some to forgive me, but I will state the point of view about chervonets.
Owners of the project use today's recession in the market, not only for buying up of the fallen in price assets, but also for dirty methods of "dumping from a broom of cockroaches". All information and technical stuff is thrown for reduction in cost of an asset. Now there is not пaмп, and very accurate buying up. On three websites, only in one place it was succeeded to download not infected file for Windows. You will see a screen earlier... On mine, it seems, the remarks, wrong for a coin, owners are silent. My opinion. Don't sell. It is possible to play at the exchange, but one fine night YOU all the same will cut off from sandwich. Good luck EVERYTHING, including to project owners. Everything will be serious. All this will be very probably on the improved version of ETH and NXT/I Advise not to speculate and buy... I will duplicate on the English branch in translation

Sibcoin is now ready for cross-chain dapps with the Blocknet Protocol!
Now that SIB is compatible with the Blocknet Protocol, it can be used in cross-blockchain dapps and traded on beta Block DX!
You can read more about Blocknet, the Blocknet Protocol, and Block DX here:
https://blocknet.co
https://sites.google.com/view/blocknet/directory
To get started with trading on Block DX, follow this setup guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ciwLFSXwv6CXd3QEvVW88lHXo9CSIlweYOoSbDHkies/preview
The setup is in the process of being automated/abstracted so it's much easier and streamlined to use for beginners. In addition to that, in July we are planning to release SPV support which will allow for the creation of litewallets so whole blockchains will not need to be downloaded

More information about the attack
Based on the history of transactions in our blockchain and information from exchanges, we found out that, on 10th July, the attacker first purchased several thousand sibcoins, and then several times carried out an attack on the Livecoin exchange, increasing his amount several times. He did not sell "received" sibcoins, but withdrew from Livecoin exchange. Next day he took it all out and tried to get them on Bittrex, but decided to attack them too. Bittrex promptly detected an attempted attack and stopped input and output and trades. Their funds were not affected.
We are negotiating with Bittrex and Livecoin about the situation and the continuation of further work.
At the moment, repetition of the attack is possible, so you need to be careful when receiving large and medium amounts of sibcoins.
Our analysis shows that this applies not only to Sibcoin, but also to many other currencies with the Proof of Work algorithm. The rapid growth of the market in 2017 led to an unprecedented growth of mining capacities, and the fall of the market this year inspired the temptation to use these facilities not for mining, but for attacks on medium and small currencies.
What We Are Doing About It
We did not immediately give this update, as promised, since my original idea, which was born right after the attack, about the transition of the currency to Proof of Stake provoked heated discussions in the community and did not receive unambiguous support. There was also an idea to change the hashing algorithm of PoW, as an option of a quick but temporary solution to get rid of the ill-wishers with ASICs. However, the analysis of the situation shows that this is not a solution against 51% attack, because even with moving to GPU mining, the cost of the attack will be still low compared to the possible gain of an attacker.
Therefore, as a long-term solution, we see the transition to the hybrid model Proof of Stake / Proof of Work algorithm.
I will explain why this option seems to be the most optimal. Proof of Stake implies that only coin owners can mine. To carry out an attack of 51% in such model, attacker must first buy or get a lot of coins, which can be quite expensive. While with Proof of Work attacker can rent equipment for a couple of hours, which is now very inexpensive because of the low profitability of all mining. If someone has a lot of coins, then by attacking network with 51% attack he hits his own capital and it will cost him much more compared to renting mining capacity for a couple of hours.
However, pure PoS also has a number of disadvantages. Technically, it is more complex, which carries additional risks for the stability of the system. Economically, it leads to the effect of "the rich become even richer", which is not very good either.
The hybrid PoS / PoW algorithm will require both a large number of coins and a significant mining capacity to carry 51% attack. It is quite expensive economically and more difficult to implement technically. At the same time, ordinary users will still have the opportunity to mine sibcoins.
This solution, however, will take time to implement. Therefore, as a temporary solution, we will issue an update, which will require the nodes not to accept blocks whose height is more than 1-2 hours in the past.
Recommendations
Until this update is released, the threat still remains. We ask the services that accepting Sibcoin to follow these recommendations:
1. Don't accept large amounts from new or unknown users / customers.
If a new / unknown user has decided to deposit several thousands of sibcoins or more to your service, you either need to pay them back to him, or wait for a significant number of confirmations, 100-200 for example. Moreover, it is better not to announce required number of confirmations in advance, so the attacker won't know how long it will be necessary to wait, 1-2 hours or 24 hours. Also, if you decide to accept payment, it is worth checking how many transactions and how many sibcoins in the block with the incoming transaction and in neighboring blocks. Now number of payments is low on the network, so the block with the incoming transaction, in which there are other transaction(s) for thousands or tens of thousands of sibcoins, should alert you.
2. Check for forks in the network.
This can be done using the getchaintips command or the corresponding rpc method. Forks in 1-2 blocks periodically occur, this is normal, but the appearance of a long chain should immediately alert you. Another option is to subscribe your software for zmq notifications about new blocks and to sound an alarm if suddenly you get a new block which has much lower height than the current one. If a fork is detected, it is better to temporarily suspend operations, since your service can be a victim of an attack.
These recommendations do not give 100% protection, however following them reduces your risks of becoming a victim of an attack.

Attention!
The network was attacked with 51% attack by an owner of a large number of ASICs (more than 100). In this regard, we strongly recommend that all services that accept sibcoin payments temporarily limit payment acceptance, at least for large amounts.
Regular users are advised to temporarily refrain from conducting large transactions, we take action. More information will be given later.

So, we have:
93 votes for increase collateral to 2000
228 votes for increase collateral to 3000
5549 votes for increase collateral up to 4000
So, 5,870 masternodes out of 7,700 voted for the increase of the collateral payment, i.e. 76.23% of all masternodes. And out of them 94.5% or 72% of all masterndoes voted for the increase to 4000 SIB, which means that the decision is made.
I consider it will take one or two days for the technical preparation of the update and after that the update procedure will begin. It will take about a week, depending on how quickly all services and miners will update their nodes.

Hello @all.
Some time ago i start a masternode of this coin that i discover past year.
I believe in the project but from two months it isn't profitable for GPU mining and the value of the coin decrease continously.
What dev think to do regarding ASIC question?
Fork or not?
I see a lot of interesting feature in this con, but not a lot of activity here.
Other channel to stay update?

I consider Fork, but masternode owners voted against it:
https://sibcontrol.org/proposals/change-pow-algo
But it was some time ago, so I want to put this question on a vote again next month.
does SIB has discord server? if anyone has it, post link here please!
Please join us at sibcoin.slack.com:

Hi, Everybody!
We consider to increase collateral for one masternode from 1000 SIB to one of these options: 2000 SIB, 3000 SIB or 4000 SIB. We have two reasons for that. First one is that with current price real profitability from one node is very low, about zero. Increasing collateral won't increase nominal profitability which is about 6% now, but at least it will allow to reduce costs for people who have several nodes. Of course we understand than people who have one or two nodes won't be happy. Second reason is because of first dex release which will come soon and requirements for one one will increase about 50% (CPU, RAM, etc.)
But of course before do such move we want to put it on a vote. So, if you're masternode owner and you support increasing of collateral, please use on of these options
If you support increasing to 2000 SIB, please vote:

There are no Discord groups, telegram only. But you wont find much people there, because thay wont pay attention to users. They are hard "working" on dont giving a fak about people asking q.
They preparing a new website, new logo, p2p ex, colorsib, but at the end, noone will listen to them, so no moves.

I hope you do realize this was a bit of a d*ck move, first you announce that there are some huge news coming up and then the next day you basically say that all the new stuff comes more than a month later from now. You knew it would pump, people lost money, people made money but overall this wasn't really necessary. Maybe you and your friends made a fair amount of Bitcoin out of this.
