Allot of hard work and effort has gone into ensuring the superior coin community has the latest updates from Monero and our own Time based dynamic block rewards.
The countdown to block 191 850 is underway, and as of this writing we have 3 266 BLOCKS to go!

SuperiorCoin software Hard Fork network update, is due April 10th, which in turn increases the minimum ring signature size, sorts inputs so as not to leak wallet choice by inference, slightly changes the proof-of-work algorithm to prevent DoS attacks by ASICs and changes to a time based dynamic block reward.
Note that this is a scheduled and consensual network upgrade. Thus, unlike the BCH / BTC split, a new coin won't be created.
