- CFB, a core developer of Cuban, has been conducting campaigns since May 2025 with the intention of dominating Monero’s hashrates.
- The respected name of the MONEERO community was called a “PR stunt” that brought about fear, uncertainty and doubt related to XMR, and insisted that there is no real risk.
- Orphans are normal for task proof block chains, but five events recently discovered have atypical signs.
Between August 6 and 7, the Monero network had five orphans in about 24 hours and was measured within the last 720 block. The event was published by CFB, a key developer of Qubic, and indirectly insisted on such responsibilities and filed some warnings. Mono

Orphan blocks occur when more than one miner mine mines and broadcasts the same effective block height. As a result, a local chain split, which requires the block to which the network is the largest task (or hashrate) is attached, occurs, and others are not effective because others become orphans.
According to the Monero Research Labs, as shown in the blockchain visualization tool, orphan blocks often appear and are natural for work proof chain.
“They naturally occur when two miners mine at the same time. The orphan block of orphans can show problems caused by one or more entities with a connection waiting time or even large hash power share of the network. You can increase your self -mining strategy.
In recent years, it is an unstructured one that “unknown” miners have been involved in four of the five events and have won the competition for work on the integration and properly identified mine pool in the short term. In particular, blocks 3471456, 3472098, 3472148 and 3472176 follow this same pattern.

In the ongoing discussion on X, a monero expert, a monero expert and a famous contributor known as a “untrocked” (unlisted ”(unlocked account for complaints), will be possible with” selfish mining strategy “used by Qubic Mining Pool. It is less profitable than “honest mine strategy”.
Other commentators said that the Qubic swimming pool hid the hashrate from another node and “silent”, which increased the block non -class of the “unknown” miner from 2%to 8%. This coincides with the continuous public communication of CFB, and CFB claims that it has been “silent” (mining) to protect it from the ongoing DDOS attacks of other Monero miners and lovers.
It was about 2%unknown before PUBIC hides.

Are Monero in danger?
CFB is talking about QUBIC’s “Monero control” plan, facing online resistance since May 2024. For example, on July 26, the developer made a “Exchange and other related organizations” as a provocative post -war to expect Monero’s orphan block from August 2 to August 31 as a result of QUBIC’s activities.
To ~ $ xmr holder, #Qubic The team cannot contact all single services. #Monero It is recommended to accept 12:00 UTC by coin, please, and other related organizations on August 2 and UTC 12:00 August 31st. $ xmr…

CFB is one of the core developers of Bytecoin, a Cryptocurrency project before Monero, and has questioned the past due to 82%of the coins in the past. Therefore, all posts in CFB must be considered in care, which explains the skepticism of many XMR supporters.
Ricardo Spagni, one of the most prominent figures in Monero’s history, mentioned this event with five orphan blocks.
“I don’t think it’s much higher than normal enough to be a criminal -it’s in the normal distribution. If it occurs continuously for three days, it can be considered outside the poisson distribution, but it may be just more than.”
As Monero lovers, holders, developers, and miners develop, we are watching the Qubic-XMR mining war with a mix of curiosity, skepticism, fear and opportunities according to various factors. The risk of undesirable results seems to be at least so far, but the well -known contributors will keep the boundaries until it is known.
