So... seems some freelancer copyied Dropil's WP and sold it to the team. Maybe probable, maybe an excuse, but at least something more or less probable. Don't think the malware thing is intentional.

Platform should be up and running in around a week. Price of MN so far "survived" this scandal surprisingly good.

I have to explain situation around whitepaper

My fault is that I took the help of unverified people. But at that time I was still very trusting. But each time we encounter incompetent or fraudulent actions, we did not give up and found a solution. So thanks to @TechnikPTO  and @unclear, we solved one of the most difficult tasks - we secured our blockchain, which was vulnerable because of the actions that the people I hired to develop earlier. There were a lot of people who wanted to deceive me. Someone even got it. So it was with WP. I was offered a beautiful and informative WP with exclusive copyright. And I agreed, because at that time my WP was very meager in content and only reflected my zeal to embody the project.I'm really sorry for that.

So I have already started writing WP v2 where there will be no plagiarism, and all sources will be indicated.

P.S. I also want to express a special thanks to friends who always support me and our project in any difficult moment @JaGend and @shey-MARCoin

Sorry to @everyone one more time and thanks for understanding"
