While I think it's great that Qubic has been facing some challenges from attempting to 51% Monero, I'm still worried about XMR's predicament.
I've heard of this algorithm called dPoW (delayed PoW) that basically relies on more than one blockchain to prevent 51% attacks. PirateChain uses it.
What do you think of XMR incorporating dPoW? #AskNostr #Monero #XMR
This is all news to me. Could you please explain what "predicament" XMR is facing?
Proof of work isn't proofing or working?
As per dPoW, if XMR is needing a fix, it would behoove the community of developers to observe how "BIPs" have created severe problems with Bitcoin.
The situation with Qubic trying to 51% XMR is the predicament I'm talking about.
How is "dPoW" different form merged mining?
From what I'm getting, dPoW involves taking already-mined blocks from one blockchain (in this case, XMR's) and then notarizing it into another blockchain with better security (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) for extra security measures; while merged mining is about mining multiple blockchains at the same time, such as mining BTC and XMR together.
It's like the difference between doing two jobs at once compared to getting your work double-checked by your boss.
