So SHIFT, a former fork of ETH was attacked by 51% attacks, it's hash rate just wasn't strong enough compared to these big miners, they asked for ransom but the SHIFT team didn't give them anything. So they tried it again and the Shift team had this great idea to switch from Ethereum like blockchain to a new LISK fork, in which they can't be 51%ed. They also said that the LISK languages could be beneficial for the concept of Shift, Decentralized Internet/Web hosting. But while the swap happened, the Bittrex exchange disabled wallets and suspended trading for over a month. In the mean time the (Shift Slack group)(http://www.shiftnrg.org/slack-auto-invitation) tripled it's amount of users.

This is an interesting situation, what will happen if a market suddenly continues after a long break?

Is this website down for everyone? Why is it down? Is there any official topic? It's a good exchange.
