It would seem they maybe reached a 34% mining attack though some crypto news sites claim they accomplished a 51% attack. Some speculate we’re entering an altcoin bull market, and attacking Monero, a real privacy coin, is about pushing alternatives. And it could be a larger effort to diminish Monero adoption and confidence as governments don’t like privacy coins they can’t track. Of interest, Qubic membership has voted to attack Dogecoin next, but they’re still mining XMR as it will require some software retooling. And they haven’t been able to reorg the XMR blockchain for a while, so that would support a couple scenarios, e.g. they lost miners converting to XMR directly, or they were renting hashrate and have stopped due to the expense probably having been content with claiming a successful 51% attack, though not directly proving it. Looking at X posts, Qubic and its supporters seem to be a trash operation trying to claw some significance for their own financial gain through deceptive marketing and propaganda. The positive takeaway, is the developers of Monero are working on improvements to limit this type of attack in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
