OSINT confirms that #Qubic is lying and did not achieve a #51Percent majority in the #Monero network.

  • Which I was already certain didn't happen!

At peak they had 40%, and as of that post only about 30%

  • Which is still too much but still…

#TLDR: Qubic used "#SelfishMining" and had a streak of luck! Not to mention said blicks didn't get included in the blockchain anyway, so all it did was "#LyingWithNumbers" in some stats that rely on self-reported claims instead of actual evidence.

IOW: Just because one got 51 of 100 blocks at some arbitrary timeframe doesn't mean one "owns" 51% of the network hashrate!

Already the cost of this operation is estimated to be U$D 150M per day to fake sad #51PercentAttack and the success entirely predicated on #FUD.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐒🦍 #Auckland #Zoo keeper Laura Fastnedge shares the key to telling #monkeys from #apes: tails. Monkeys have them for balance, apes don't have them at all.

The #parenting differences are fascinating too. Great apes spend years raising their offspring until they're ready to be independent, while monkeys develop quickly and leave much earlier.
