Guys just before going to hit my pillow i cannot refrain myself to give you this exciting update.

The blockchain is currently stuck for months at block 673688 due to a lack of staking wallets (not enough POS power).
The originial project leader, Killakem moved to stratis (which already proved to be successful)

But FIBRE is about to be resurrected!
We are a few FIBRE hodlers here and in SuperNET slack thinking for a long time about a blockchain revival and this is going to occur!
mammix2, the original wallet dev, took over the project and is about to release a new wallet.

What's the plan?
kick-restart the blockchain with a new POW/POS phase
with POW reward for a few weeks to have some incentive, after with no block reward to just have an engine to assure the blockchain's life (in other case of lack of POS)
and hopefully with a revival of website and marketing

How to help?
First, when waiting for new release it should be a good idea to have as many FIBRE hodlers as possible ready to stake (synced to block 673688)
We have a few nodes already with ~50k (and growing, afaik SuperNET holdings will be added to this) and we are about to have more than 10% supply weight ready to stake.

So if you know about how to put a node online:
-build the daemon, follow the instructions of https://github.com/fibre-team/fibre-public/blob/master/doc/build-unix.txt (just add libminiupnpc-dev to the dependencies listed there and you should be ok)
you can get a copy of the db (to block 673660) i uploaded there: https://mega.nz/#F!sE0lWQiD!mlC5AV1U0ff1GNaGEYUcGg
the 2 nodes addresses that i am currently running could be added to your Fibre.conf (in .Fibre) - beware of uppercase -
addnode=2pptm3tysp5xlpfz.onion:7223
addnode=khpbewwsdoewtsea.onion:7223
(i only have fibredark addresses for now, working on standard IP's to provide)
open inbound port 7223 (WARNING, the port is subject to change with new wallet release to help separate the new chain)
If not or if under windows, keep your privkey's or wallet.dat close at hand and wait for new release (or updates meanwhile).

on both cases be welcome to see or participate in the latests developments on the #fibre channel of the SuperNET slack (https://sprnt.slack.com - get your invite at http://slackinvite.supernet.org/)

speaking of SuperNET, the SN core coins concept is deprecated but... Unity of blockchains is not (which was the main idea)
So any so-called bitcoin-compatible coin (basically rpc-queryable) can be added to agama wallet , DEX with atomic cross-chain,... In a word FIBRE can be part of SuperNET (again) quite soon Wink

will keep you updated

*pouf* <-- sound of head hitting pillow

Awesome news, I predict Fibre will be top 20 coin by xmas, connections with SuperNET and Stratis dev communities makes Fibre a great investment after relaunch.
