https://qubic.org/ is not #xmr
Based on the image you provided, a user on Nostr News Network is claiming that "Qubic just reached 51% share of Monero."
Let's break down this claim, as it appears to be based on a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the facts.
Analysis of the Claim
* Qubic is a separate cryptocurrency, not a Monero mining pool.
* Qubic is an independent project and cryptocurrency with its own network, token (QBIC), and mining algorithm. It is not a Monero mining pool.
* The claim that Qubic has reached 51% share of Monero's network is fundamentally incorrect. It's like claiming that a different company's factory has taken over half of a competitor's. They are two separate entities.
* The Qubic Pool Statistics in the image are for the Qubic network, not Monero.
* The image shows "Qubic.org Pool Statistics." The hashrate numbers shown (e.g., 2.80 GH/s, 3.34 GH/s) refer to the hashrate on the Qubic network itself.
* Monero's hashrate is measured in different units (currently in the range of several million h/s, or MH/s) due to its unique RandomX mining algorithm. The units and scale in the image are for Qubic, not Monero.
* The user's claims of manipulation are logically flawed.
* The post describes a method of mining Monero "through them" and receiving a different token (QBIC) as a reward, which is "3x more profitable." This doesn't make sense. Monero miners get rewarded in XMR. There is no such mechanism for another network to pay Monero miners to direct their hashrate to them.
* The idea that Qubic will "orphan all blocks from every other miner" is the definition of a 51% attack. However, as established above, Qubic's network and Monero's network are completely separate. The hashrate from one has no effect on the other.
* The Qubic.org pool share is likely a large share of the Qubic network, not Monero.
* The image shows QUBIC.ORG pool statistics, with POOL SHARE at 51.32%. This likely means the Qubic.org pool controls just over 51% of the hashrate on the Qubic network, which is a potential 51% attack vector for Qubic itself, but has zero bearing on Monero's security.
Conclusion
The claim in the image is false and based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how cryptocurrency networks and mining work.
The user seems to be confusing the Qubic network's hashrate statistics with Monero's network hashrate. The post is likely a form of misinformation or an attempt to promote Qubic by making a sensational and incorrect claim about Monero.
As I stated earlier, as of today, August 11, 2025, there has been no 51% attack on the Monero network, and the hashrate distribution remains decentralized across numerous pools, consistent with its ASIC-resistant design.
