<danielgreg:matrix.org> tbh pos doesn't make sense. bitcoin mining is also not really profitable. asic miner, space and electricity -> roi is like 2 years and that's assuming the price of BTC doesn't go below like 60k and asic don't break and they break.
-
m-relay
<danielgreg:matrix.org> the price of monero will rise because the coin is superior. more miners notice, randomx is our strength. we need more hashrate and hs is constantly increasing ever since randomx. thats good.
-
m-relay
<danielgreg:matrix.org> monero roi is also tad different. everyone has motherboard with cpu. asics become useless eventually. i have 15 year old hw that still runs and works fine.
-
m-relay
<barthman132:matrix.org> Well a lot of people mine bitcoin in the expectation that its value will go up, so even if they don’t immediately make a profit, they’re expecting to make one. A hybrid system would make sense, because I think it would not only incentivize miners. It would also give a incentive for miners to actually hold their monero
-
m-relay
<one-horse-wagon:monero.social> Would it hurt the blockchain in any way if P2Pool became 81% of the total hash? I say 81% because IMO, no other pool should be larger than 19%. 81% would prevent selfish mining if that level was maintained. I want to push the idea on reddit of more miners coming on board and others switching over to P2Pool.io.
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> a centralized pool can use p2pool
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Simply requiring "p2pool" doesnt prevent selfish mining
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> P2pool is just a pool where each p2pool talks to one another and shares the reward. You can run p2pool on your own (without unselfish peers)

It seems that qubic's blocks rarely have more than a handful of transactions. They are either disconnected from the network most of the time or they use some nonstandard block template building method.
-
sech1
They run a modified monerod and who knows how clumsy they were while doing it
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> They only want to mine for block rewards and don’t care about transactions or the network.
-
tevador
For example qubic's block 3479622 contains only high-fee transactions, at least 16x the minimum.
-
m-relay
<gingeropolous:monero.social> yeah im thinking long term fixes, not just to counter whats happening right now.
-
m-relay
<gingeropolous:monero.social> so the gist is the longer you have mined, the more weight your blocks have during a fork choice. but sure i'll drop it because it doesn't address the attack we have now

Even though qubic is annoying, I think CfB is only trying to prove his point with no malicious intent. Imagine how much worse it would be if there was someone with destructive goals. That's the real future threat. There is no scarcity of CPUs and they can easily be acquired by a dedicated attacker.

-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> In that case I'll do my best to submit two alternatives that much lower risks, with less impact to consensus, that at least mitigate most of the risk we're currently facing. That is either:
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> A) Time adjusted blockweights, or
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> B) Depth Penalty
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Both cases allow for nodes to self heal in the case of partitioning attacks, while significantly increasing the hashrate an attack needs to perform a 10-block reorg

m-relay
<articmine:monero.social> Monero is a worldwide decentralized network. The potential for decentralized litigation against and adversary is huge

<articmine:monero.social> Basically any member of the Monero community who feels injured could sue or report to the authorities in any jurisdiction worldwide.

m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Checkpointing comes with real risks of network fractures. It's a matter of either having 50% HP, or a large minority and getting lucky eventually. You can then snipe at the Nth block, and hope to split half the network behind the checkpoint. After which, only manual/social intervention fixes it.
-
m-relay
<antilt:we2.ee> thats just to buy time in the face of a Q* pump
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> I can understand that. Still, it's a hard fork consensus change, and it might do more harm than good
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Imagine if instead of, say a 10 block reorg, we had a network split because Qubic sniped at the checkpoint (if it's 10 blocks). A reorg isnt great, but a network fracture is worse.
-
tevador
If there is only one source of checkpoints, I fail to see how that could fracture the network.
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> I suppose if it's an entity we trust, then sure. I'd be way more comfortable with a *temporary* DNS checkpoint that simply adheres to a social layer we trust, as an immediate mitigation. But a simple rolling checkpoint I would be pretty worried about
-
m-relay
<antilt:we2.ee> its actually already there: --enforce-dns-checkpointing
-
tevador
You are probably referring to a max reorg depth limit, which could cause network split and I wouldn't recommend that solution.
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Interesting. Okay. Yeah I suppose that's a big benefit.

-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> I suppose one could fork the `monerod` repo and just put in different DNS domains for testnet, so core would not have to be involved in the test at all.
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Then, write a script to update DNS records on the fly. And try re-org attacks.
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> As long as it's temporary, that does seem like a solid immediate mitigation

<spirobel:kernal.eu> I become more and more convinced that both hybrid and PoS is a bad idea but monero whales should buy a bunch of CPUs and a nuclear power plant.
-
m-relay
<vtnerd:monero.social> I never thought these hybrid solutions would work out
-
m-relay
<vtnerd:monero.social> It's almost too confusing to reason about. Maybe just need to read up more
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> And how is it different from asic miners ? Gov capturing those farms ?
-
m-relay
<syntheticbird:monero.social> sorry guys can you stop making sense. literally two days ago it was chaos and now there is consensus that the well thought decision of like 10 years ago still make sense today
-
m-relay
<syntheticbird:monero.social> shocking i know
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> Thank you 🙏🏻 I will rest in peace
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> we can defend it with mines and drones
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> we should add a robot factory
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> Overclocked
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> to produce the drones.
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> it is proof of drones
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> vs the government
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> Article might like it if it’s legal
-
m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> Really? Didn’t we want to use law
-
m-relay
<spirobel:kernal.eu> who ever controls the factory that makes more drones says what is legal

m-relay
<elongated:matrix.org> Time to self delete

<syntheticbird:monero.social> Did i just assisted to a suicide?

<leonarth_:matrix.org> #define BLOCK_FUTURE_TIME_LIMIT 7200 -- 2 hours in the future
-
m-relay
<leonarth_:matrix.org> why do we need such long time buffer for block submission?
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> 1000% this. im very much against this change.
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Its not a hard fork
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Damn, noname has me responding to 5hr old msgs
-
m-relay
<articmine:monero.social> Which explains why Qubic is having so much trouble with their attack on Monero
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Honestly, true
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> If we were a lesser chain, things may have spiraled out of control already
-
m-relay
<vtnerd:monero.social> Rucknium: added same value to checkpoints.vtnerd.com they are different servers
-
m-relay
<vtnerd:monero.social> Same value as tevador
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> we should not ignore the possibility of a longer term reconfiguration of moneros consensus algorithm to prevent these types of attacks in the future.
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Need to update the locations in the codebase and rebuild
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> but short term the community and the coin network has done well
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> If i had a copy of the db, i could do the attack right now 🥲. Anybody have the data.mdb for testnet that they can upload? Plz n thx
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> for nodes that dont make this change they might fork off so in a sense it is a hard fork but not in the traditional definition.
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> its not a hard fork, thats a chain split
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> well you are inadvertently changing the consensus rule
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> and mandating it rather than making it optional
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> i should say explicitly changing the consensus rule from longest chain to must follow dns pulse checkpoint
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> so that is a hard fork
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> And no, they would end up back on the healthy chain
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Unless qubic has 51%, then the honest chain will become the longer one
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> So their nodes that reorg onto qubic, will end up being reorged back onto normal chain, and qubics blocks will be perm orphaned
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> umm isnt that the whole point of what this is supposed to mitigate?
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> No
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> you are just mitigating short term orphan chains up to x blocks?
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> in a way, that could work
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Particularly over 10, but yes, we coukd use for all of their selfish mining, ans theyd be wasting $
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> as long as it clearly done as a band aid short term and communicated that way
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Waste enough $ and theyll have to find a new hobby or honest mine
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> I still think a longer term change needs to be planned and tested as well
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Obv
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> But any longer term change would be too take if we allow them to orphan everyones blocks
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Too late*
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> I think this reddit post lays it out
reddit.com/r/Monero/s/8rcdpbWAHB
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> so your suggestion is a medium term solution
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> whereas renting hash rate and turning on miners seems to be the only short term way to mitigate
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Except its the fastest, shortest term solution
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Global hashrate hasnt changed much, if at all, likely because rented hashrate is already mining monero
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> So it goes from mining monero -> mining monero
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> interesting... why are so many people continuing to mine at a loss?
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> or are the base electric loads for these data centres so low that it's break even or profitable?
-
m-relay
<noname-user0:matrix.org> I surely turned on the few computers i have onto xmr the past week but it's only like 15kh

m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> ofrnxmr: Try this:
185.141.216.147/data.mdb (http only)
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Thanks 🙏
-
m-relay
<p-q:matrix.org> Because as you already know you can‘t trust the q-shit and their statements. At least most people try to hold it up till halving / end of august / first aid on the reorgs
-
m-relay
<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Dude, I was under a mistaken impression, and the smartGuys here very quickly helped me understand what that mistake was. Now it's your turn.
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Rucknium got it, thanks
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Syncs ok? Not corrupted?
