TODAY'S SHOW: Monero’s network is facing coordinated selfish-mining “marathons” by Cubic, causing multi-block reorganizations that disrupt transactions but haven’t led to double-spends. With Cubic controlling an estimated 30–35% of hash power, the attacks combine technical pressure with “weaponized marketing” to boost their own coin.
The community is responding by mobilizing CPU miners—especially on decentralized P2Pool—renting hash power during attack windows, and discussing medium-term fixes like fee adjustments, improved mining incentives, and greater decentralization.
Broader regulatory headwinds, including high-profile legal cases against privacy tools, add to the urgency. Core consensus is to protect Monero’s tail emission, reject proof-of-stake, and focus on practical, PoW-compatible defenses while reassuring users their funds remain safe.
