🚨 Monero (XMR) & The Qubic Attack – August 2025 Lessons Learned 🚨

Hey fellow XMR Fam 👋,
August 2025 has been one of the most dramatic months in Monero’s history. Let’s break down the situation with Qubic’s mining takeover claims, what’s being done (FCMP & dev improvements), and what we all need to learn. 💡

---

🔥 1. What Happened?


✅ Qubic’s Claim: They announced control of 51%+ hashrate ⚡, showing a 6-block reorg. If true, this means possible double spends, censored txns, 💀 chain instability.

⚠️ Reality Check: Independent analysis says Qubic never exceeded ~28% hashpower. Reorgs ≠ proof of majority control. Don’t get fooled by hype!

🏦 Exchange Reaction: Kraken paused XMR deposits 🚫 to protect users, though withdrawals/trading still open. Shows how fragile trust can be during such events.

---

🛡️ 2. Dev Community Response (XMR + FCMP)


💎 FCMP Innovations: Luke Parker (dev) and others are pushing privacy + consensus upgrades. These aren’t rushed — better to be safe than sorry.

🤝 Community Fightback: Some in the Monero scene launched counter-attacks against Qubic’s pool 💥, while others called for more decentralization (P2Pool, smaller miners).

📜 Meta-Issue Discussions: Developers are collecting ideas for hard/soft forks to make Monero more resilient. Your voice matters!

---

💡 3. Lessons Learned


🔒 Reorgs ≠ Automatic 51% Attack: Always double-check data. Inflated hashrate claims spread FUD.

⚡ Hashpower Centralization is Dangerous: Even 25-30% is enough to spook markets + exchanges. Keep mining decentralized!

💀 Exchanges React Fast: Deposit suspensions = frozen liquidity. Users get nervous. Network health impacts ALL of us.

🛡️ Preparedness is Key: Strong proposals like FCMP = stronger chain. Don’t rush — rushed patches risk more damage.

---

🚀 4. The Future of Monero


✨ Support decentralized mining (P2Pool etc).

🔥 Get involved in FCMP & dev discussions.

🤝 Educate newcomers: decentralization is our shield 🛡️.

Monero is still strong 💪, private 🔒, and community-driven 🤝. Let’s not waste this wake-up call.

— Stay strong, stay private. 💎🔒🚀

Lots of awful information while trying to give off the vibe that he knows what he's talking about.

Please point out my awful information? I was right about doge coin. Please explain?

XMR WILL HIT $480 WATCH!

You have no idea what you're talking about at all times. You copy information from other sources and try to make coherent threads out of it, but your lack of understanding of the subject matter just makes your threads low quality slop.

Your calls are entirely based on emotion and you ignore major events, indicators, and macro in general, such as your XMR call where you had absolutely no idea that the chain was under attack.

Your threads are dangerous because they're rooted in nothing but emotion.

Maybe he’s Clockateer all along. His profile has been MIA for a while now lmao

[Rsynced]

Clockateer can at least blame his insane threads on his schizophrenia. What's Rsync's excuse?

I am an open x-alcoholic. Do I seem insane? I think I am pretty down to Earth?

STFU

Truth hurts. Your calls will eventually hurt worse though.

Sorry but seriously, you are being an asshole.

Stop copying the teacher / instructor at school, you have no idea what your talking about. The learning process has nothing to do with emotional intelligence either.

I have never done anything ever, I don't even know how to READ and WRITE.

AI DOES EVERYTHING FOR ME.

[Rsynced]

Either post your calls and deal with the scrutiny that comes with it, or don't post your calls.

I said your threads suck, and you asked why? I answered your question and you told me to STFU.

One of us here isn't cut out for receiving feedback.

Ah, you could only contain yourself for half of a reply, the emotional immaturity of Rsynced emerges again...

Me being an asshole would be posting something along the lines of:

lmfao

I guess man, go buy your QUBIC shitcoin. Have fun!

AND FUCK YOU, HE IS ATTACKING DOGE NOW NOT XMR. READ THE NEWS FOOL!

[Rsynced]

Once again, you have no handle on how dumb you are, how immature you are, and how emotional you are.

Qubic fucking around with doge is entirely irrelevant to anything. It's not even a blip on my radar because who fucking cares?

Has nothing to do with the call you made 11 days ago, how dumb of a call it was, and what unfolded afterward.

I made NO CALL! This is a question and yes I admit I am being emotional and immature, I bet you piss a lot of people off IRL too!

I APOLOGIZE IF I HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

[Rsynced]

1. You edited that thread when you updated it about Qubic and removed you talking about Monero hitting $1000

2. You still have other posts saying the same thing

SO WHAT, I CAN POST WHATEVER I WANT.

TELL ME WHO IS GOING TO WIN ALL THE GAMES IN SPORTS BOOK. ITS GAMBLING. YOU ARE CRAZY BRO! GO TAKE A WALK OR GET SOME REST.

[Rsynced]

Never said you couldn't.

In fact, lets loop back around to one of my previous statements:

If you don't want the scrutiny, then do better.

---

And this right here is why you're getting my attention this morning. No the fuck it is not gambling. And it's nothing like sportsbetting. The fact that you even make that comparison is asinine and shows that you don't have a shred of any idea of what you're talking about. If investing is akin to gambling to you, then you're more far gone than I expected, and you've proven my point that you're clueless better than I could have ever hoped to.

What a clown.

YOU ARE OUT OF TOUCH. YES THIS IS GAMBLING. YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL. YOU ARE SIMPLY BETTING ON A MARKET. SAME WITH BLACKJACK. YOU CAN KNOW A GOOD STATEGY BUT YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS WIN.

THE STOCK MARKET / DAY TRADING CRYPTO IS JUST LIKE GAMBLING

AI Quote: IS THE STOCK MARKET GAMBLING?
ChatGPT said:

That’s a deep question! Let’s unpack it:

How It’s Like Gambling 🎲

Uncertainty: Just like betting on a game, you don’t know for sure if your stock will go up or down.

Risk of Loss: You can lose everything if you make reckless bets, especially with options, penny stocks, or day trading.

Emotions: Both gambling and impulsive stock trading can be fueled by greed, fear, and thrill-seeking.

How It’s Different 💹

Ownership & Value: When you buy a stock, you own part of a real company with assets, products, and earnings. Gambling bets usually have no underlying value.

Long-Term Growth: Historically, the stock market grows over time (~8–10% average per year). Casinos, in contrast, are designed so the “house” always wins.

Control & Strategy: You can research companies, diversify, and manage risk. Gambling odds are fixed against you, but investing gives you tools to tilt the odds in your favor.

👉 Bottom line:

Day trading without knowledge = Gambling.

Long-term, diversified investing = Wealth building.

[Rsynced]

Lmfao the bottom two lines of your AIQ you dumbshit

Like I mentioned before, you're clueless and have no knowledge of what you're talking about. Investing is like gambling, to you, because nothing you do is rooted in information.

Investing to the rest of us, who base our trades on info and market knowledge, is not gambling.



My cost basis here is less than $45k. I didn't nearly 20x $45k by gambling, you fucktard, I played the market to the best of my ability with both intimate knowledge of what I'm investing in, as well as paying attention to the macro.

(And this is just one singular chain, not my entire holdings).

Well good for you, go buy a fucking high dollar hooker and some coke, have a party cause you obviously have no life if you have that much money and have time to waste on this forum. I think you are lying and full of shit.

If not wtf are you here with that much money? Do you not have anything better to do?

You have a HUGE EGO and have to be RIGHT EVEN IF YOU WRONG.

YOU ARE SMARTER THAN AI ALSO. YOU ARE A GOD! I WORSHIP YOU AND WANT TO SUCK YOUR COCK.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
