Idea on how to fight qubic. (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by qwerty@discuss.tchncs.de to c/monero@monero.town
 

Whenever qubic finds 2 blocks in quick succession, they don't publish them and instead keep building on them in secret as long as they are 2 block ahead of the public chain. When the rest of the network gets close to them and is 1 block away, they publish their longest chain and cause a reorg. Since they don't control 51% of the network if the rest of the miners/pools adopted a "first seen chain -1 n blocks" policy, so kept mining on the first seen chain as long as it's only 1 block shorter than the longest one the qubic strat wouldn't work and all their blocks would get re-orged instead.

New here.

Why not just have someone patch the node software to not accept retroactive blocks? Or just avoid building off of those late submission blocks and allow the blockchain to branch? If they continue theirs and have 51%, wouldn’t they just lose their liquidity?
