br-m<ofrnxmr> Doge, zcash, any other pow coin, they dont actually care about pool dominance
-
br-m<ofrnxmr> isnt like 70% of Btc hashrate all the same pool operator behind the curtain
-
br-m<ofrnxmr> If qubic, or fed.gov became a dominant pool, none of these miners would care. They already mine on compliant pools and censor txs
-
br-m<ofrnxmr> Attacking monero only makes noise, because 1) our txs can be invalidated 2) we care about pool dominance
-
br-m<ofrnxmr> This attack wouldnt work on zcash, because they dont give a shit that 75% of hashrate is on 1 pool

DataHoarder22:50:37 <br-m> <privacyx> It appears the laregest monero pools like supportxmr and nanoppool have teamed up to fight against Qubit selfish mining by selfish mining
-
DataHoarderno, you can see that yourself with logs
-
DataHoarderI found it funny on their self-made FUD so also added stratum tracking for other pools on the tips.txt
-
DataHoarderThey also seem to misunderstand timestamps are entirely miner set and within p2pool it wasn't uncommon to see people with clocks more than six hours apart (future/past)
-
DataHoarderI think we now limit this to like 30m or so as it was making effectively invalid blocks at that point
-
DataHoarderYou need to explicitly keep track of when blocks and alt chains arrive on your node(s) and for that you need higher monero verbosity. nioc explanation of it being sluggish in broadcasting is correct
-
DataHoarderQubic also has a very delayed switch time that causes their blocks to naturally orphan more
-
br-m<kerenken:matrix.org> How is p2pool orphanic qubic?
-
DataHoarderqubic is either not finding enough blocks to be able to make a longer altchain in time or it's hit by their own made severe transmission delay
-
DataHoarderOrphaning is not free - you need longer chains (or well
-
DataHoardermore work)
-
DataHoarder
-
DataHoarderIn this cases qubic was one block ahead, but then Monero found two in a row before qubic could broadcast a longer chain
-
DataHoarderIf you follow tips.txt it mentions when either side needs more blocks to orphan the other
-
br-m<barthman132:matrix.org> Aaajww291: It takes months for him to actually make that change. The fact that our pools are orphaning his blocks now probably isn’t helping him, but because the barrier of entry to attack monero is low. It probably won’t matter anyway
