The conversation explores both short-term and long-term solutions, including the proposed "Publish or Perish" soft fork to disincentivize selfish mining, defensive mining strategies, and the controversial idea of incorporating proof-of-stake elements or a finality layer to enhance network security. Vinny argues that while Monero’s proof-of-work and ASIC resistance are valuable for decentralization and permissionless mining, all proof-of-work systems are inherently vulnerable to such attacks, and the community should remain open to researching hybrid or alternative consensus models without ideological dogma. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of open debate, technical innovation, and community resilience in navigating Monero’s current crisis, while also touching on broader themes of digital cash, sovereignty, and interoperability with other privacy and scalable cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Nano.

With Cubic controlling an estimated 30–35% of hash power, the attacks combine technical pressure with “weaponized marketing” to boost their own coin. The community is responding by mobilizing CPU miners—especially on decentralized P2Pool—renting hash power during attack windows, and discussing medium-term fixes like fee adjustments, improved mining incentives, and greater decentralization. Broader regulatory headwinds, including high-profile legal cases against privacy tools, add to the urgency. Core consensus is to protect Monero’s tail emission, reject proof-of-stake, and focus on practical, PoW-compatible defenses while reassuring users their funds remain safe.

Arctic shared updates on his work optimizing scaling for full chain membership proofs, addressing concerns about increased transaction sizes and verification times. They discussed the Samurai Wallet case, where developers pled guilty to money transmission violations tied to fees sent to operators, reinforcing existing FinCEN guidance rather than creating new law. The main topic centered on the emerging “Cubic” cryptocurrency, which uses Monero merge-mining under the guise of “proof of useful work.” Arctic warned that if Cubic amasses significant hash rate, it could threaten Monero’s network security, similar to the 2018 ASIC attack, and suggested countermeasures like miner education and potential token sell-offs. The conversation also contrasted proof of stake’s flaws with proof of work’s resilience and concluded with updates on Monero’s full chain membership proofs—expected around 2026—which aim to improve fungibility despite larger transaction sizes and longer verification times, mitigated through parallel processing and hardware optimizations.
