Monero community is concerned about the possibility of an attack 51% from Pull Minexmr – Bits Media

Part of the Monero community fears, that the growth of the Hashrate Poole Minexmr to 44% will create the opportunity to conduct an attack 51%.

The Monero community discussed in Reddit the growing influence of the Monero minxmr mining pool. According to community members, The pool is already controlling 44% Hashrate cryptocurrency, what, According to some miners, carries potential risks of network security.

The community believes, that there is a probability of blockchain attack when the minxmr has reached a hash. 51%. Miners called for the use of their computing power in other pools, To reduce the control of the Monero HashReite Minexmr bullet:

“Why are you still joining minxmr.com? There are more 30 other pools and decentralized P2Pool. Within only one day, new miners increased the minshreite minxmr.com with 1.34 GH / S to 1.44 Gh / s. While the overall hashrate of the blockchain is 3.31 Gh / s. What motivation to prefer minxmr.com other pools?..»

However, Even if the Hashrat Pool Monero Minexmr will grow more than 51%, This does not say, that the pool must attack the blockchain or try to harm Monero. Besides, If the minxmr pool operators try to attack, Other pool miners quickly migrate to other pools, To prevent it.

Potential possibility of attack 51% The blockchain also does not need to be denied. Attackers, who in the past gained control over the hashrate of other blockchains on 51%, Often launched reorganization attacks with the aim of "attacking double consumption".

In such cases, attackers began with a major deal (Most often exchanging tokens on the exchange for other cryptocurrencies on the exchange). Then they broadcast an alternative recent history of blocks, Using your big shit for mining faster, than all other network participants. This canceled the payment and allowed them to spend money a second time.

Attempts to hack a blockchain, Using the attack 51%, Despite the difficulty, not so rare. In September, an attack was made on Ethereum - unknown miners published their own chain in 550 blocks, however, the vast majority of nodes threw them as nonsense. In August, the Bitcoin SV cryptocurrency block 51%, 14 blocks were reorganized. In January, FIRO cryptocurrency developers (Previously zcoin) Reported, that her blockchain was under the attack 51%.
