After Monero suffers a 51% attack, Qubic shifts its focus to Dogecoin, raising questions about blockchain security and network resilience.
The Qubic community, previously involved in 51% attacks on the Monero network, has now decided to shift its focus toward Dogecoin as its next target. This decision, following the Monero incident, raises concerns about the security of other proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains.
The announcement came just 11 hours ago, according to Cointelegraph, and signals a troubling trend: after disrupting Monero, the network has identified Dogecoin as its next experiment. While Qubic frames it as a “proof of concept” or a method to explore mining strategies, the Dogecoin community is on alert about the possibility of a real attack.
This situation underscores a growing concern in the crypto ecosystem: projects relying on PoW face significant risks when actors with enough computing power choose to compromise their integrity. Furthermore, Qubic’s move could negatively impact market confidence in cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, which are widely used and depend on distributed mining consensus.
