Is it over?

>>106227982 (OP)
yeah, the 51% attack was successful — trust is shattered

>>106227982 (OP)
Did anything happen?

>>106227982 (OP)
not yet, qubic hasn't fucked it up too hard yet. if worst comes to worst. it goes under and somebody makes a new coin from it's ashes.

>>106227982 (OP)
PayPal and CBDC won

>>106227982 (OP)
qrd?

>>106227982 (OP)
wownero won.

>>106227982 (OP)
That is why I use ether

it's over

I’m not a crypto bro but there was a time a couple years back that I was intrigued by the technical aspects of XMR (at a high level; I’m not a programmer). Wasn’t there supposed to be a forthcoming major overhaul of Monero with Seraphis and Jamtis? Whatever happened to that? Has development in general just slowed way down since 2023? If so, why?

I fucking hate vague posters, I'll visit /biz/ for more information

>A group has 51% of the hashrate
>This is supposed to scare me because ??

Glowies have 100% control of BTC and other crypto at all times dues to being able to view all fiat transactions and follow the money easily through every other chain.

All it takes to make Monero secure is hosting my own private node which I can do on a mini PC, I could even use my old raspberry pi if I wanted to, its still extremely fucking hard to impossible to actually accurately trace transactions all the way back to source even if they had 75% control.
Its still fine, this does need to be addressed but you'd still have to be committing fraud worth tens of millions to be worth the effort to track through this.

>>106230009
if someone can obtain a majority hashrate for any duration then the network becomes centralized. a centralized network means someone is controlling it. the controller can manipulate transactions. they could block transaction from ever reaching the ledger or fork the entire network to double spend transactions. former coins that became centralized died, faith gets shattered (see ETH). the idea someone now or in the future could just come along and take control triggers extreme paranoia in cryptobros.

Got any docker?

>>106232250
What a pathetic bunch

>>106227982 (OP)
yes, that's what they get for being cultist retards disregarding game theory

>>106232730
using l2 leaves no traces so no

>>106233223
decentralized money is a winner take all thing

Once again, it was a scam all along.

>>106232730
No, you need hash rate. Not just own node

>>106232730
>impossible to actually accurately trace transactions all the way back
they needn't that, only deny any transaction not coming from qubic

>>106228004
Is that from that silicon valley show?

>>106227982 (OP)
Yep. Hosting the monero blockchain takes up a shitload of space. Not worth it. I'll just buy my shit with cash.

>>106230151
some NSA sponsored shitcoin called qubic was able to gain a little over 40% hashrate and rearrange 6 blocks. they then wewnt on to claim "we did a successfull 51%, we control monero now lololol", then they got DDoSed, pissed and shat themselves, and that's pretty much where we are today

>>106236927
they reached 52%

>>106236927
>>106230151

The only thing I can find about their shitcoin is that actual bots on twitter keep reposting about it. Are they just trying to find people to dump their bags on?

Deepbit's mining pool also reached 50% on Bitcoin back in the day.
So, uh...did Bitcoin die?
People being stupid about not spreading hash around pools has happened many times over the years.
It's really a nothing burger.
Someone is just farming engagement.

usa, EU, ... they are being more and more friendly toward bitcoin meanwhile they want to ban monero. ask yourself why. monero is the true danger to the elites, banks, intelligence services...

rope on neck, quick

>>106237392
Apparently its a load of horseshit, however that's not gonna stop news sites from repeating the same thing over and over about "monero got 51% attacked its over!". They are literally marketing their shitcoin which is valued at less than a cent right now talking about "using AI in crypto".

https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero
Even if all of unknown was owned by Qubic, they at most would have 23% of the hashrate, which is no where near the 51% attack threshold.

tl;dr start mining monero

>>106237404
I think I'll take your suggestion

>>106237438
No one is even close to 51% what the fuck are these niggers smoking?

>>106237404
Some retard is apparently spreading completely made up bullshit to push their own shitcoin.

Anyone notice how when xmr hits the $400 range suddenly some news drops it back down to $200? First it was news about how the IRS found a way to track transactions, and now its news about how the network isn't secure.

I'm not pointing fingers but it's extremely odd.

>>106236927
ok, yeah, but that issue that "everyone" is talking about: "trust was shattered"... to me, that means that now monero is just like any other crypto, a shitcoin not worth anything if what i really seek is keeping the alphabet boys out of my finances. if its main use case and reason to exist is shattered, then i'll be better sticking with cash, precious metals, and old-school agorism/counter-economics for the time being

>>106237589
>that means that now monero is just like any other crypto
If it's like any other crypto then why do exchanges keep delisting it?
>then i'll be better sticking with cash, precious metals, and old-school agorism/counter-economics for the time being
lol. lmao even.

Pretty much.

Yeah let me just """anonymously""" send 0.54 grams of gold across the world in a paper fucking envelope to pay my server hoster each month.
