looks like somebody didn't read the white paper 
Where is the white paper? On the homepage https://getsirius.io I can only find the position paper. And on the github repository they didn't even bother to change the documentation from the original Bitcoin client, from which qtum was initially cloned:
https://github.com/siriuscore/sirius/tree/master/doc
And looks like it is not only my opinion, price drops like a stone. Probably the devs are dumping it, too.
The price is dropping like every other coin, because btc price is dropping. About the changes on github and more information about the project you are right and we are all waiting to hear what comes next.
