what
-
Cindy
also zcash sucks
-
br-m
<monerobullsoldthebottomsmart:matrix.org> It sucks for pedos like yourself
-
Cindy
it's more centralized than monero, each transaction has a dev fee
-
Cindy
AND it's partial PoS
-
Cindy
wow, what a great combo
-
Cindy
have fun with developers not only collecting money but also controlling the network
-
br-m
<monerobullsoldthebottomsmart:matrix.org> The dev fee is used to fund sustainable development unlike Monero where it has been over 1 month without any solution for mining centralization 😆

br-m
<monerobullsoldthebottomsmart:matrix.org> Monero "developers" are opportunistic scammers

so is it really better?

why aren't you calling this mining centralization

br-m
<monerobullsoldthebottomsmart:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: No it is Monero where people like xenumonero and monerobull use young anime girls as their profile pictures when they are over 30 pedos
-
Cindy
i don't have a profile picture :P
-
Cindy
i'll take zcash seriously when their security isn't practically abandoned from several issues that it has
-
br-m
<monerobullsoldthebottomsmart:matrix.org> At least the Zcash developers are competent. tevador had to go through 3 hypothetical proposals that all failed and he has not come up with a solution. You are paying these "developers" to work on Monero > <Cindy>

-
Cindy
PoS is just the devs
-
Cindy
you might aswell say zcash is centralized under the ECC and devs control
-
Cindy
because they get dev fees
-
Cindy
and that grows their stake

br-m

<zooko:xmr.se> It's important to note that Serai will allow transaction outputs and amounts to be traced because every transaction will be broadcasted by validator nodes. This is all interconnected and Monero is a honey pot. Zcash is objectively better as the developers are honest with their intentions.

<zooko:xmr.se> Monero is a honey pot. I've given a starting point for people to research into in case they didn't know. Zcash isn't without its flaws, including issues related to centralization, and maintains close ties with regulators, but it doesn't pretend to be hardcore like Monero.

blocks.p2pool.observer/block/d0de88…fd792ecd1e16ed3cbed4ca789b65794b95f
-
DataHoarder
they didn't even do their domination claim, anyhow
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> probably they planed to but ran out of juice
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> or this is part of the gaslighting 4d chess to milk the baggies a bit longer
-
DataHoarder
they did selfish mining bad as well
-
DataHoarder
they lost like 20% compared to plain mining
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> What Qubic able to get other miners to switch from regular XMR mining to mining through Qubic or was it just hash power that was controlled by Qubic?
-
DataHoarder
it was hashpower qubic pointed to their shenanigans
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> the scheme was mostly targeted at miners and those are realizing more and more that they got skimmed
-
DataHoarder
central server, as well, unverifiable by miners
-
DataHoarder
they got paid in their token and "token burns" so they ended up realizing they got vastly less
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> So have these miners that switched to Qubic switched back to just regular mining of XMR?
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> only monero can absorb this much hashrate, anyone in between has to justify where the additional yield comes from. qubic has no good answer. they only manage to keep miners through gaslighting and late payouts and constant drama + hopium
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> So, for an entity that controls 10%-40% of the total Monero hashing power, what bad things can they do? 18 block reorgs, not including transactions in blocks, what else?
-
DataHoarder
invalidating transactions via reorgs
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> Is there a clear path forward for the developers to mitigate these effects from malicious miners?
-
DataHoarder
there are bandaids, mid term and long term being discussed or in the works.
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> my hunch is we will get there before zcash.
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> get where ?
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> towards a long term mitigation
-
Cindy
zcash is an abandoned coin
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> Does zcash have reorg yet ?
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> DataHoarder: In the last 10 years the biggest reorg on Bitcoin was 4 blocks. An 18 block reorg on Monero is a little concerning to me.
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @ilha:matrix.org: bticoin blocktime is 10 minutes
-
Cindy
ilha: consdier the time for blocks in bitcoin and monero
-
Cindy
^
-
DataHoarder
there was no selfish mining, and minutes yeah
-
DataHoarder
this is similar
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> @ilha:matrix.org: 4 blocks means 40 mins roughly
-
DataHoarder
in blocks wise, the maximum organic reorg was 3-4 blocks
-
DataHoarder
qubic did 70 minutes
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> K
-
DataHoarder
while pools in bitcoin have been centralized they haven't attempted hype marketing and do selfish for fun effectively
-
DataHoarder
as it was not on their interest
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> Its not worth discussing zcash here I guess.
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> DataHoarder: Pools can lose hashrats fast as individual miners will pull out of that pool and that pool gets a bad reputation permanently?
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> I would be more concerned for bitcoin. we will be prepared and build something more resilient. Eventually this topic will come up in bitcoin when old miners become cheap enough or the hash rate drops as a result of halving or price
-
Cindy
bitcoin is taken over by ASICs
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> So time wise (4x10 = 40 minutes) and (18x2=36minutes). So the 2 were roughly equal is that right? > <@kevino:tchncs.de> 4 blocks means 40 mins roughly
-
DataHoarder
getting more randomx hashrate is a commodity as well
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> Thats why i was insisting that cubic was doing it alone on rented hasrate
-
DataHoarder
compared to specialized hardware
-
br-m
<elongated:matrix.org> @spirobel:kernal.eu: New asics make old miners hashrate ineffective considering the power they consume
-
Cindy
good thing about CPU miners
-
Cindy
you can improve and audit it yourself
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @kevino:tchncs.de: they didnt. they can do this for asic coins as well. they do it not by renting hashrate (way too expensive) they do it by fooling miners into thinking they get high rewards.
-
Cindy
i've never seen an actual decap of an ASIC miner
-
Cindy
the one that helene showed me was a crap one, the guy who did it only shot the BGA connectors layer
-
br-m
<elongated:matrix.org> Nothing good, new cpu’a come daily and if price isn’t increasing or it’s not profitable against botnets. ppl don’t invest in mining > <Cindy> good thing about CPU miners
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> @spirobel:kernal.eu: Miners are pretty good at math. Can't they quickly tell if mining is unprofitable?
-
DataHoarder
> they do it not by renting hashrate (way too expensive) they do it by fooling miners into thinking they get high rewards.
-
DataHoarder
it is expensive, but short bursts was done (and suggested by CfB)
-
Cindy
elongated: what do you mean "nothing good"
-
DataHoarder
say you got lucky and started a chain, you can rent to make it longer
-
Cindy
it means that monero mining is sustainable
-
br-m
<kevino:tchncs.de> @spirobel:kernal.eu: There was not much evidence of this as to who these miners were
-
DataHoarder
and remember, their point is to make hype and marketing, not explicitly direct gians
-
DataHoarder
gains*
-
br-m
<elongated:matrix.org> @kevino:tchncs.de: Rented rigs
-
DataHoarder
they get XMR -> convert to qubic, burn qubic
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @elongated:matrix.org: @elongated:matrix.org: that means the old miners become really cheap. for the attack the electricity cost does not matter.
-
DataHoarder
so they don't directly pay out those parts
-
br-m
<elongated:matrix.org> @spirobel:kernal.eu: New miner hashrate > old miners
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @kevino:tchncs.de: there is some. you can look at miners talking about qubic profitability. We also looked at some mining pools that mined monero directly that were run by qubic. datahoarder provided some info on that. so they didnt rent the hashrate, they had control over the miners by being the pool
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> One of the first things you learn in crypto is that 99% of the schemes out there are scams. Miners know this. How do you account for the XMR miners that are still mining through Qubic and make up about 20% of total XMR hash power? Don't they know they could get more rewards just mining XMR directly?
-
Cindy
ideally
-
DataHoarder
they might be Qubic miners
-
Cindy
don't trust the ownership of any centralized pools
-
DataHoarder
:)
-
Cindy
just mine through p2pool
-
DataHoarder
-
DataHoarder
seems matrix is having issues :D
-
DataHoarder
http is very delayed
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> Is it costing Qubic anything? Or do they have free electricity, free CPUs (botnets)?
-
DataHoarder
it costs users
-
DataHoarder
or miners
-
DataHoarder
Qubic gets this for "free" by giving people tokens of their coin
-
DataHoarder
so they want to pump the price, but it went down instead
-
DataHoarder
their profitability depended on their own price pumping, not XMR incoming amount
-
Cindy
and then it went down the second time
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @elongated:matrix.org: @elongated:matrix.org: you can take a look here
data.hashrateindex.com/asic-index-data/price-index the efficient miners are 4-5x the price but the efficiency is not that much different that it would matter for the attack
-
Cindy
also lol, they're botting coinmarketcap comments
-
Cindy
so people don't get dissuaded by their price
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> So money is basically being transferred from naive miners to the Qubic powers that be, is that correct?
-
Cindy
even botting the "community sentiment" rating
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @ilha:matrix.org: @ilha:matrix.org: miners like to tinker with their rigs and will just install what ever they think gives them the most rewards so they can buy more rigs. they dont analyze that deeply. it takes some time for them to realize they get scammed. especially because of delayed payouts and price fluctuations
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @ilha:matrix.org: they also have a boiler room discord + mlm style "ambassador program"
-
Cindy
yes, their mlm style program
-
Cindy
for trying to get into a tier 1 exchange
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> @spirobel:kernal.eu: Miners will spend millions of dollars without doing extensive profitability analysis?
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> all of this shit is highly illegal and extremely stupid. really surprising how openly token2049 and exchanges interact with them
-
Cindy
are you surprised?
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> @ilha:matrix.org: @ilha:matrix.org: yes. I am following miner social media like defi django rabid miner vosk
-
DataHoarder
17:04:45 <Cindy> also lol, they're botting coinmarketcap comments
-
DataHoarder
they have channels for "social raids" where users are encouraged to go and comment on social posts or sites to drown down any noise about qubic (or so their message is loud and other is weak)
-
Cindy
it's the 10000th crypto "CEO" that does something illegal
-
Cindy
to get more money
-
br-m
<ilha:matrix.org> Most of the new tokens are simply unregistered securities that don't pass the howey test and insiders hope to do a rug pull before the price collapses. Just look at the guy in the White house.
-
Cindy
DataHoarder: yes i noticed it when the community sentiment is 90% up
-
Cindy
even though qubic is going down a ton
-
DataHoarder
also the AI warriors lol
-
br-m
<spirobel:kernal.eu> the miner mindset is very much focused on tickering and borderline objectophila for gpus / rigs they easily get sucked into a little bit of gambling as well
-
nioc
<DataHoarder> they get XMR -> convert to qubic, burn qubic <<>> wouldn't it be cheaper to not make the qubes out of thin air to begin with? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

i mean he already does :P
