hello....

am I connected??/Why is it so quite?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> yes, you are connected.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> it is quiet because nobody is talking right now.

<3​21bob321:monero.social> reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1mgisol/praise_that_xmrig_dev

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Sech1 at war

<r​brunner7:monero.social> Of course not. And that "attribution" by CFB is indeed a new low.

lmao cfb decided to play the victim

<r​brunner7:monero.social> I guess the chance to win easy points from the fanbase was too tempting.

heads up: Cointelegraph inquired me regarding the recent cfb ddos accusations. I replied, I guess expect an article from them soon. I screenshotted the full e-mail exchange, of course because I know how some... journalists... can work

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> cointelegraph loves fudding monero

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> They wrote some bs piece and quoted csillia balmer

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> And she claimed that a bunch of the stuff they said was false

"Your e-mail and my full reply will be screen-shotted and saved for further publication, in case you decide to edit it or leave any important details out of it. I would like to have it posted in your article "as is", without any edits."

This was in the end of my reply :)

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> 50% chance they won't do that

got a reply "I will have to edit your response for brevity and to make sure to preserve good article flow."

yeah right

"If you find that the way I am using your partial quotes misrepresents what you intended to say, please let me know in a follow-up email, and I'll make the necessary adjustments to the article as soon as I can."

let's see about that too

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the "adjustments" will come 3 days after the story is run through

Okay, not so bad actually

so is Monero dead yet, or what? i don't really understand the drama

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >Cointelegraph verified that direct queries to the Qubic mining pool returned an average response time of 0.188 seconds across three endpoints, with no dropped requests. Considering that traffic was routed through a virtual private network server, this falls within normal operational limits and does not suggest an ongoing DDoS attack.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> lmao

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> total coingraph annihilation

Announcing that your relatively new project has suffered and remained victorious in the face of a DDoS (even if the graph you screenshot is totally fabricated) makes people think its worth DDoSing in the first place, and gets alot more engagement

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> They currently have their lowest share of the last 100 blocks in a while

You think our cfb can't handle a ddos? This is all part of his 200iq marketing plan

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 240*

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> srsly

So, qubic is based on bs?

There was a chance that TRAITORS mining for profit would gave jumped on board and it would succeed 💢 OR you just use the excuse and play it out for the next one and next one

No wonder Cat was not concerned

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> kewbit qubic qutip cutefemaledog . He could have at least chosen a unique name

qubinero

<u​ser2570:unredacted.org> kewbic

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Also, if he wanted to 51% monero with less than 51%, the smarter thing to do would be to turn off their miners

😆 what would the top 2 pools % be then?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 50-70% haha

3...2....1 aaaand *off switch*

<d​iego:cypherstack.com> hi its me

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/JacIogWmVuqwWnlsQJsYlgSD

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Can we not

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Pretend @monero is unbiased challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Soon theyll be shilling acrescent

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And still announcing software releases 2 weeks late

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> We should at least raise money if we're already posting ads

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Account this large should be what, 20-50k per tweet?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Dojt they get paid

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Since its a premium acct, maybe @monero is getting paid already

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 🧠

"Privacy is good. Pass it along" @plowsof 🤫 🤫 🙏 🙏

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> Looks like q*bic is mining at a much higher ratio now

<e​longated:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/uihDfNehGKCJvrevWTBJdxFH

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Wtf does that mean “ we will fluff it up so its clickbait” ?

They are mining 100% of the time now, again

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> Yeah, they just didn't announce it this time

and looks like some big miners switched. Several pools lost some hashrate at the same time

sxmr, hashvault, c3pool

Is it that surprise they were talking about?

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> Could it just be miners seeing they are going at 100% and switching over temporarily?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No, probably qubic was mining on various pools already
