Main notes
- The proposal offers “Late Block” penalties to prevent miners from blocking blocks during selfish mining strategies.
- Dividing rewards will guarantee orphans from honest miners who are still receiving relatively compensation for their work.
- The price of XMR has decreased by 20 % since the attacks began, as it was traded to less than $ 260 while Google is looking for the coins of privacy to record levels.
Monero suffers from the so-called selfish mining strategy, or attack, committed by the Qubic-carried group, which is also known as the Qubic-as COINSPEAKER. In this context, the main shareholders, especially developers of the Monero Research Lab Lab, discuss ideas to alleviate the QBIC strategy or prevent such attacks in the future.
Among the different ideas proposed and discussed in the past few weeks, the proposal to “publish or perish” by TEVADOR from August 27 is gained in different circles of Monero supporters. the The suggestion is proposed as issue No. 144 In the research warehouse of collision from Monero-Project on GitHub, the official nature has not been added as a request for withdrawal. It depends on “Publishing or Destruction: A defense compatible with selfish mining in Bitcoin” written by Rin Chang, Posted in February 2017.
In general, this suggestion can make unbearable selfish mining and less disturbing for attackers under the age of 51 % of retail, which enhances the stability of the network. Dan DadyBayo, Research & Strategy Lead in an indisputable wallet, comment exclusively on Coinspeaker in this regard:
“The elasticity of Monero not only depends on privacy, but in a safe and fair mining process. With a single gathering now controls about 33 % of retail, selfish mining becomes a real threat. From the faithful miners, and the network’s confidence can hesitate.” “The new proposals, such as publishing, perdition, and reward, are important steps. They make selfish mining much less profitable while protecting the revenues of honest miners. Either through a soft thorn, a difficult thorn junction or coordinated detective mining, these measures revolve around maintaining the reliability of Monero and maintaining a strong network against attacks.”
What is the proposal or perdition proposal by Monero Research Lab
In short, the TEVADOR proposal includes two separate sub -programs, as explains in the published case: (1) soft fork, which requires a simple upgrade that is compatible with the back approved by the “honest majority of miners”, and (2) solid thorn, which requires a higher format for the most complex promotion, unbalanced, unbalanced.
The soft proposal, which is effective, is the effective proposal or perishing proposal (POP), the concept of “late block”, and punishing miners who take a long time to broadcast a lonely mass. This directly addresses an important part of the selfish mining strategy, which includes extracting multiple blocks in a hidden position, pending all of them at the same time, reorganizing the chain, and nullifying the previously mined blocs by competitors.

According to tevador, this would reduce attempts smaller than a harmful entity with less than 51 % of the network fragmentation, which requires at least three depths. However, it will continue to be, although it is less profitable, to Kepeck to my selfishness, as the group has already published six and Nine deep block Reorgs Throughout August 2025.
The hard climb suggestion would extend the pop proposal by adding the division of rewards (RS) to get rid of the economic incentives for selfish mining attacks unless a harmful mine worker is able to excel the sincere network by at least 20 pieces. The division of rewards provides many changes in consensus on Monero and mainly changes the distribution of rewards, which affects all miners, to enhance fairness and stability of the network. The honest miners benefit directly, as their masses are still correct, but the orphans gain a relative share of the reward that could have been distributed to the selfish mine worker in the current case in Monero.
MONERO Research developer discussed the proposal at an open meeting held on August 29, with Text Now available to the public. Besides TEVADOR ideas, the participants also mentioned the controversial proposal to make Monero a hybrid chain, adding a final layer that relies on proving the ascension. One of the developers known as Ack-J expressed his concerns about this approach, with the early distribution of XMR “because he prefers greatly the first first adopters”, with his words.
“There is nothing we can do about it now, but the shift to the points of sale knowing that this seems crazy for me. I currently support Tevador’s proposals to stay with the prisoners and increase fees and search for creative self -mining solutions.”
Monero (xmr) price analysis
Monero changed the hands slightly less than $ 260 for the coin at the time of writing this report, as it was circulated in a strong range between this level and $ 285 per XMR. The leading privacy currency decreased by about 20 % of its trading range in July 2025, before the selfish mining attacks began – although it was publicly discussed, with the publicly participating Sergei Ivancheglo in the name Qubic.
The Daily Chart suggests a short -term drop in XMR against the US dollar, where it failed to break the SISESESAR for 50 days (1D50MA), an important technical indicator of encrypted currencies in general.
This proposal represents an important moment for Monero as a mitigation of QBIC’s selfish mining attacks, and now it seems closer to becoming a reality, addressing increased uncertainty about the project. Positive signals can provide the strength needed to restore the price of XMR, while additional disorders may cause the opposite.
The momentum can be favorable for Monero as Google searches for “privacy currencies” have reached the highest level ever in recent days, previously said Coinspeaker.
