there is discussion on the Russian thread of creation of a sif 2 which will involve proof of stake,

for now only sif 1

all first generation multi round algo coins are forks of sif

including quark, secure dozens of others, 

still other coins 'borrowed' some things from the source,

i asked on the Russian board if they could at least update the source with a checkpoint,

they told me basically not to be worried about it, and what I said above, 

a very active but laid back thread, 

i had to use google translate to post there so not sure how things got through on the other end...

still i have updated and checkpointed the coin privately so for now , I have a copy of the blockchain and can restart it if anything were to happen.

do you know some fork of Sif with the same or close formula?

note, although i have been very busy with other projects I am still keeping an eye on this coin and try to spend a day or two a week mining it,  difficulty has been pretty steady, healthy blockchain, what are the exchanges waiting for  ??\

still exchange or no exchange, without this coin and it's brilliant design & groundbreaking mash up of algorithms we never would have seen many of the most popular non sha 256 d or scrypt 1024 coins now.....   

It should be on Qex.la indeed - i'll try to email them.

difficulty was down last week , creeping back up this week, simple inflation coin is far from dead, plenty of connections,  I just wish the official developers would checkpoint the client.

Hello


The urgent need is block explorer!

[cinnamon_carter]

one can certainly be made but the resources, i.e. server /hosting costs are something i cannot take on at this time

if anyone else wants to host it i can most likely code it this weekend

Block crawler on my to do list, however, not in top slot.

[cinnamon_carter]

note

block crawler delayed at least a week, got held up on personal non coin world related thiings this past week and am trying to catch up on some coin and other technology proecects i am working on , 

along with all the other charms life brings us

so sorry for delays,


if anyone wants to jump in front of me and do it i suggest posting to the abe github for advice explaining how the coin is similar to quark and that quark and the others are actually derived from this,  should be a basic re aranngment from there,

honestly i may be able to just pull it off,  not sure yet,  in the mean time difficulty is higher than i have seen it in months, 


i have an i5 i mine this with twice a week usually 24-48 hours a shot,  not one block until this morning,

guess i will have to see what our russian friends are doing on their thread,  sorry for no progress

[cinnamon_carter]

i apologize , i got sick a few weeks back and then purchased a mac to learn to make mac wallets for a few other projects I am working on and the abe block crawler for this got put on hold.   Still on my list of things to do , difficulty (as i remarked on the russian thread earlier this week) remains low, lower than it has been in months, excellent opportunity for cpu mining --- the only cpu coins i mine now are riecoin , sic, and a new high n factor scrypt variant called "imacredit" which may not have even been announced in these forums (picked it up on cryptocointalk)  both of those other coins are on exchanges poliinex and others,  I know everyone wants to see SIC get to an exchange but I think it would have happened by now if it was going to .

I will continue to cpu mine it a few times a week and run a node for now.  Have 13 connections here in the united states.

SIC is obviously flying under the radar since if people were mining with a gpu I think the difficulty would have stayed up or at least level.

I went from hitting zero or 1 blocks in a 48 hour time frame a few weeks ago to hitting nearly a dozen in about the same amount of time this week..


If bitcoin is really outlawed in russia I think it possible since SIC started there SIC could still be a 'sleeper'  .....  but thats just me.

[lsd225]

I am still mining & hitting a lot of blocks

Please post good addnodes......unable to connect to block source.....I am currently using....

Difficulty is rising again and rather fast ---- if you cannot connect something must be wrong --- make sure you are using a UPnP enabled wallet and are not behind a firewall or that your firewall is not conflicting with the wallet.  On my to do list since the people who launched this coin have never checkpointed it or applied a few other upgrades when I have time I will work off my forked repo and release the updates myself. Should happen within the next few weeks.   I am tied up with a few other things right now and studying the impact of the most recent open ssl issue.

NOTE --- I am not attempting in any way to take over the coin or the project.  I have no desire to do so.  This coin was started by some talented developers in Russia and the Russian language thread is quite active.  I just will be updating a few simple security items when I have time that I feel are 'necessary'. 

[Void_80]

actualy u can "takeover" SIC development.
we dont mind, coz we perhaps "lost" both of former devs...
just plz, announce it in russian thread too in plain english.
goggled translations are so ugly  
those russians of SIC supporting crowd have good command of english.

[cinnamon_carter]

I cannot commit to being the developer of this coin due to other responsibilities however it has been well over a year since it's release and I did want to update it since no one else has.  I made a new repo based on the old one so you can see exactly (how few) changes were made. The larger change is I compiled a wallet with open ssl 1.0.1j the most recent version.  There are a few other minor upgrades I threw in including a fix to rpc console when not running in server mode, changed bitcoin to sicoin on qr box, checkpoint and updates to pro file and mingw and linux build files from the older outdated ones if you are building yourself.


The wallet is here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8503hoyr74SWtZVFFFMFlkSXM/view?usp=sharing

The exact changes I made to source are here https://github.com/cinnamoncoin/https---github.com-cinnamoncoin-sifcoin/commit/02d053566bbbb0dea2d982a299943f33aa0802e1  (if this link does not work go to my github here and find the correct repo https://github.com/cinnamoncoin?tab=repositories  )  

Here is my repo of Simple Inflation Coin   https://github.com/cinnamoncoin/https---github.com-cinnamoncoin-sifcoin
                                                      

If you are having issues connecting here are some recently active nodes. I regularly get 10+ connections but I am not running a node 24 /7.

addnode=95.85.45.65:8373
addnode=198.211.117.175:8373
addnode=93.81.218.247:53612
addnode=89.254.229.70:57217
addnode=89.254.251.12:8373
addnode=178.90.217.240:28777


Again this is an 'unofficial' release, non mandatory --- but recommended since the shellshock and poodle issues of open ssl have come along since the original release. Finally to me a checkpointed coin is a lot safer then one not checkpointed ever......


Remember this english thread is not the real home of this coin that would be the russian thread located here

I cannot promise any future updates but I always respected and liked this coin.

EDIT DECEMBER 20 ---- ADDITIONAL CHANGES /UPDATES WERE MADE AND THE REPOSITORY WAS RENAMED

[com911]

Good news. I'm glad SIC is still alive. We are certainly need an active developer to reveal all potential of this undeservedly forgotten coin.
I'm sure, no one will mind about cinnamon_carter should takeover the development.

Is there any place that you can use/exchange this coin?  I know there has been lots of voting, but I haven't seen any results. What good is it to accumulate a coin that can't be used anywhere, no matter how great it is?

The coin is fine, but we stiil need pool and block explorer for this...
