Can someone tldr who tf is qbit
qubic is a coin, but there was also a qbit who was a scammer in monero chats trying to steal money from bounties by vibe coding apps that didn't work
both of them used bots to get more likes and comments on posts ironically
Someone wanting to control whole Monero mining and they're trying to prove how successful they're by orphaning blocks (producing bad blocks that hurts the network)
while claiming to they don't want to hurt the Monero. They're trying to convince miners to trust them (or surrender).
They also claiming to reached the point they have majority power of the mining power.
Edit: OP spreading FUD
The FUD has been a really strong, good test of Monero
According to the attacking pool statistics (can be wrong and faked), their pool reeched 51% of the XMR hashrate, but at same time, https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero shown a 42% share of that pool. So the difference is pretty big. I would rather trust that 42% number (it can not be faked?). We should mine and do not promote that selfish mining pool.
qubic exceeded 51%
source: qubic
I have seen that at same time the https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero shown a 42% (not 51%), so I would rather trust that 42% number (it can not be faked?).
it's just API call from the pool, it should be possible to fake
