Ethereum Classic: жив, но в реанимации

Ethereum Classic балансирует на лезвии ножа. После шлейфа от атак 2020 года и делистинга на Coinbase цена упала до $8.31, хотя позже отскочила до $8.60. Сама сеть всё отрицает, но осадочек остался.

Olympia Upgrade — единственный свет в конце тоннеля. Клиентская реализация трёх ECIP уже готова, тестнет Mordor запущен. Но работает ли код, когда хешрейт падает?

На недельном графике $ETC под всеми ключевыми EMA. MA-50 далеко на $15.27. Продавцы контролируют тренд, RSI почти в перепроданности. Без пробоя $8.65 следующий стоп — $8.35.

Единственный лучик: ETC держится лучше рынка в шторм. Новый листинг на moomoo добавил ликвидности. Но когда крупнейшая биржа США выгоняет тебя за двойные траты, это бьёт по доверию.

Кто заходит в ETC сейчас — покупает легенду PoW и надежду на DAO в конце года. Остальные смотрят и ждут, когда хешрейт рухнет окончательно.

Покупать или продавать? ETC не умер, но лежит в реанимации. Риски выше доходности, если только ты не мазохист PoW.

🚨 Monero Faces Possible 51% Attack — What You Need to Know 🚨

TL;DR: Qubic claims to have briefly controlled over 51% of Monero’s hashrate, sparking concerns over blockchain integrity, double-spending risks, and transaction censorship. While costly to sustain (~$75M/day), the incident has shaken market confidence.

---

🛠 What Happened

Qubic mining pool allegedly surpassed the 51% threshold on Monero’s network.

A 6-block chain reorganization (~60 orphaned blocks) was observed.

This level of control can, in theory:

Rewrite the blockchain 📝

Enable double-spending 💸

Censor transactions 🚫

---

📊 On-Chain & Community Reactions

Some Monero devs argue the reorg alone doesn’t prove a sustained attack—could be short-lived or “lucky.”

Market reaction: XMR dropped 6–16% in the past 24h–7d.

Mixed views: Alarm over network vulnerability vs. skepticism about Qubic’s motives (self-promotion & token pump).

---

💰 The Economics

Experts estimate controlling Monero’s hashrate costs ~$75M/day.

Economic gains from such a move remain unclear.

Short-term attacks may still cause market disruption and trust erosion.

---

🔍 Why It Matters

Monero’s RandomX mining was designed to resist ASIC domination & centralization.

This event highlights that even privacy-focused PoW chains aren’t immune to hashrate concentration.

Potential wake-up call for mining decentralization and network defense strategies.

---

📌 Takeaway

Whether this was a full-blown 51% attack, a stress test, or a PR stunt, the risk is real.
Exchanges, services, and the community must stay vigilant for suspicious activity.

🗨️ Question for you:
If a major privacy coin like Monero can be hit, are PoW blockchains still secure enough in 2025?
