Gentlemen,

September of 2017 has been the most intense month we've experienced in 3 years. 
Here's a short recap for those who've missed some of the announcements.

1. 
    We've open-sourced our marketplace [1]. We believe that trust of users is the most important thing 
    and the best way to get it is transparency. Tochka code-base will stay open and you are free yo use 
    it any way you want.

2. 
    Tochka has been under intense DDoS attack from September, 28th. We've got contacted by adversaries 
    on September 27th. Adversary is inconsistent with their demands. They
        - Offered their services to eliminate competition, which we refused
        - Asked up to team up and remove our code-base from public domain
        - Asked us to pay extortion 
        - Asked us to get them to admin pages
    We believe this is ongoing LE operation. Please read more:

3.
    We've re-branding Tochka Marketplace to Point Marketplace. Old name still stands for Russian localization 
    while all other localizations get a new branding.
4. 
    We are adding support for Etherium payments and planning for Tochka ICO later this October/November. 
    More details are to come.

Toochka - I had messaged you when you first made a post about your DDOS attack. We experienced an extremely heavy attack a month or two ago. It sounds like it may be the same group perhaps. If you are interested in sharing what is going on, let me know. Our attack was extremely intense, they made odd demands, and there were some interesting patterns to the attack. We had two waves of attacks. One wave was a smaller attack and lasted a day or two. Then we had a second wave of extremely intense attacks that lasted weeks.

Are you guys still under attack?

As TR was facing the same thing (DDOS) they was able to mitigate the attack. Will you mitigate the attack on your main onion aswell?
