🧵 Monero is under attack. Not through bugs or exploits. This is an economic attack. Through incentives. Through miners. They're not hacking your privacy — they're buying it. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters: 👇

🧵How to Actually Buy Monero Without KYC Most guides lie. This one doesn’t. 1. Why Monero? Monero isn’t a coin. It’s a financial escape hatch. Private by default. No history. No taint. No trace. But none of that matters if you acquire it through surveillance pipelines.

Ledger’s CTO claims sustaining the alleged 51% attack on Monero via Qubic costs $75M/day. Off by about three orders of magnitude. Monero’s actual daily security budget is simple to calculate: - Tail emission of 0.6 XMR per block - 720 blocks per day (2-minute intervals) - XMR

Monero appears to be in the midst of a successful 51% attack. The privacy-focused blockchain, launched in 2014 and long targeted by governments and 3-letters agencies, is already banned from most major centralized exchanges. The Qubic mining pool has been amassing hashrate for

I modeled an economic attack on Dogecoin. Just like the one Qubic used on Monero. Here’s what it would cost and why it could work.👇

3) How the Qubic attack works: 1️⃣ A miner connects to Qubic 2️⃣ Gets paid in $QUBIC, not XMR 3️⃣ Qubic sells the mined XMR 4️⃣ Buys & burns $QUBIC → pumps price 5️⃣ Miners see profits rise → more join 6️⃣ Qubic’s control grows It’s not malware. It’s incentives.

1) Right now, Monero is being attacked by its largest mining pool Qubic. Their goal is to reach 51% of the hashrate. They’re not hiding it. They’re just offering better rewards and taking control.

5) How much does it cost to buy Monero? – Monero’s daily security budget ≈ $130K – Offer miners a +10% premium → For just $7K–$10K/day, you can buy majority control 📉 Less than an ad on CoinDesk. 📈 Enough to compromise the most private chain in crypto.

2) Qubic is run by @c___f___b (Sergey Ivancheglo), co-founder of IOTA. He’s not breaking Monero. He’s creating conditions where miners voluntarily surrender the network. This is a new class of attack: economic.

6) Why is Monero vulnerable? – RandomX allows CPU mining – Miners are highly mobile – Block reward is fixed (0.6 XMR) – On-chain usage is modest (~30K tx/day) – Fees are low Strong crypto. Weak economy. The network is for sale.

7) Qubic says: “We don’t want to harm anyone.” But intent doesn’t matter. 🔒 Centralization = risk 🛑 Censorship potential = damage 💰 Incentives = new attack vector This is no longer about exploits. It’s about capital.

4) Why is this dangerous? – Qubic’s share of Monero’s hashrate is rising fast. – At 51%, it could: • Orphan blocks • Reject transactions • Delay confirmations • Suppress competition • Force protocol changes They already advise: “Require 13 confirmations for XMR txs.”

1) Monero might face a hard question soon: Should it stay Proof-of-Work or consider Proof-of-Stake? Qubic’s economic attack isn’t just a mining issue - it’s a wake-up call for how privacy networks defend themselves in the modern age. 🧵Let’s break it down: 👇🏼

8) What is the community doing? ✅ Devs warned users ✅ Safety mode activated ✅ Advocating switch to P2Pool ✅ 13 confirmations now standard ✅ Hard fork options discussed ✅ Monitoring Qubic’s hashrate But most users don’t realize how serious this is.
