<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> kayabanerve: thoughts on the detective mining thinger? monero-project/research-lab #140

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> <n​ioc> the word "just" should be banned from the english language as it serves no purpose

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> such a natzee.

Sorry, I must of had a stroke. Please continue

qubic's latest wallet shows all the transactions they made back to their own wallet to generate "decoy" transactions

verified list on paste.debian.net/hidden/c23d4585 and they all got sent back to themselves

it's still live and generating transactions back to their own wallet at this moment

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> when did they start spamming transactions? there doesn't appear to be any noticeable jump in daily transactions today

this was done as a way to prevent detective mining monero-project/research-lab #140#issuecomment-3213511402

so they just are continuously feeding their own wallet with their own transactions from their own miner outputs

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> oh nice

1-3 about every 2 minutes

they aren't even mining at the moment, why are they doing this spam?

<k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> rottenwheel: I'm not convinced it'd be effective vs a stupid cat and mouse game between sysadmins. It also doesn't stop larger adversaries who can run a private pool, preventing snooping.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> detective mining is what the kids these days would describe as "cope"

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> nioc libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lab/20250827#c575142 aye, aye just catching up right this second...

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> 😳 libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lab/20250827#c575190

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> > <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Can I have my CCS merged and can the community agree PoW isn't a fundamental tenant of Monero, security and decentralization is? 😅

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> xmrack: oops, maybe we could take that [conversation](matrix.to/#/!toFcRZtpaiwiyapgVO:mat….org&via=monero.social&via=envs.net) to -lounge, haha.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> jw has this lil thing, about emission analysis stuff... github.com/jwinterm/blockchain-emission-analysis

does anybody know approximately how much fees would have to increase by, to meaningfully disincentivize selfish mining? is it like 10x or 100x? i guess it's the block reward/fees ratio, but i feel like a bad actor wouldn't care, regardless? or is the thesis that higher fees would attract a higher percentage of honest miners?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> probably 100x

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> btw it seems like most of the recent selfish mining attempts have resulted in failute

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

<d​atahoarder:monero.social> They have not attempted selfish mining. Those are just their regular orphans (they have quite delayed template generation)

<shortwavesurfer2009> Shouldn't their attack be starting soon? From what I understand, it's on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 12 UTC.

looks like in 48 minutes

hey, the irc bridge works :D

\o/

will we be able to see matrix links now?

<datahoarder> see ^ nioc

it also maps nick pings and links to rooms across IRC/Matrix

#monero #monero-community-dev #monero-community #monero-research-lounge #monero-research-lab are included on the first to get the new bridge

<3

qubic has started selfish mining straight up

right on time

they might be more confident - usually they wait until the evening

I was going by the charts which, at least to me, give a different time depending on the time scale selected

I mean, the marathon starts at 12:00 UTC, but they aren't always selfish enabled

Ok

they are mining 85 height now

<shortwavesurfer2009> 4 reorg detected

yeah they were on par at 91

they then found 92 and 93 quick to reorg

<syntheticbird> THE BRIDGE WORKS LETS GO

you can track how monero or qubic tips diverge here qubic-snooper.p2pool.observer/tips.txt

<datahoarder> example output

<datahoarder> mrelay.p2pool.observer/p/zb6u1a8KU1lSUlhf/1.txt (code snippet, 6 lines)

so they are +2 heights ahead of monero

<lordx3nu:matrix.org> Thank you!

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> can you reset the checkpoints. Not sure what happened but looks like the checkpointed chain got split off at some point

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> I need to test patch that changes bantime
