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 Sad

Was Sifcoin attacked  by someone (quarkcoin or securecoin supporters)?

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.

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.

Really? And they suddenly lost interest in it and left with very high difficulty... Sad
