#monero Thoughts on a Modified version of the 51% attack ?:
What appears to the community to be "seperate" Pools "collude" to push a fake chain. They take small bites here and there, reorg notifications go unnoticed by observers over the span of weeks or months.
Purpose ?: Non-economic, to undermine confidence in xmr.
Related to but not the same as the CPU argument against XMR, (that it would be cheap to covertly buy the amount of CPU power it would take to dominate XMR, compared to buying the amount of ASICS needed to dominate BTC hash)
There are two general motivations for hash dominance: reorg and censorship. I've read about how the censorship of specific transactions is unlikely due to homogeneity, but that leaves the other motivation.
Please point me to any work on this specific attack scenario, not the other similar scenarios that are not this one, i've read up on those.
Bonus question: Does the annonimity of the protocol make a BTC type "warp attack" less discoverable on XMR, whereas in BTC we get a weeks heads up ? (Look up "optech warp attack btc")
Appreciate technical replies as questions about Monero (due to spam and shitcoins no doubt) have few places to be asked. IRC is a mess of matrix stuff and the sub Reddit is censored.
