Never heard of it before.
Maybe many people just started mining at once.
Really? And they suddenly lost interest in it and left with very high difficulty...

Sifcoin stands for simple inflation fork (sif) of Bitcoin.
It is a minor coin so most people don't know it.
Sifcoin is valuable because it introduced so called multi-hash algo based proof-of-work.

well, according to a social message forum i post on, SIF stands for "Secret Internet Fatty", ie a chick who represents as a hot girl, but is secretly a plumper who uses the "MySpace Angle" and a lot of PhotoShop to doctor any pics she sends out...
SIFcoin = Secret Internet Fatty Coin, or a coin for chubbies.

What is sifcoin in the first place?
At block number 20,000 (2013/8/31 22:56:33), Sifcoin difficulty was 27,
At block number 21,000 (2013/9/04 10:02:02), Sifcoin difficulty was 24,
At block number 22,000 (2013/9/07 20:29:39), Sifcoin difficulty was 22,
At block number 23,000 (2013/9/09 14:24:28), Sifcoin difficulty was 88 (shot up significantly),
At block number 24,000 (2013/9/25 10:47:07), Sifcoin difficulty was 250 (gradually decreasing now).
The peak of the difficulty:
At block number 23,743 (2013/9/13 00:48:45), Sifcoin difficulty was 506.
The main Sifcoin thread says the difficulty adjustment occurs every block and is calculated as: +-1% of mean last hour (I cannot understand the exact way of calculation though...).
As a result of the sudden shot-up in difficulty (and the big miner have left), the block generation slowed down a lot
Was Sifcoin attacked by someone (quarkcoin or securecoin supporters)?
