Oh Monero, darling privacy coin, you’ve done it again-throwing the blockchain into chaos with your biggest tantrum yet. 🎭
On the ever-so-glamorous day of September 14, our dear network babysitters spotted an 18-block reorg that wiped out a casual 118 transactions like last season’s fashion faux pas. The wise sage known as Xenu called this the “biggest reorg in Monero’s history,” which is just a fancy way of saying the network’s feeling a little under the weather.
Monero’s Blockbuster Reorg and the Qubic Soap Opera
So, what’s a blockchain reorg anyway? Imagine a group of miners throwing a tantrum because they can’t agree whose version of events is the “official” one. It happens when blocks pop up almost at the same time, or when the tech gods glitch, or if some sneaky villains try to mess with the chain. Basically, it’s like a reality TV cliffhanger where nobody knows what’s real.
The “consensus” – think of it as the blockchain’s version of a popularity contest-picks the longest chain and dunks the others into oblivion, deleting all their precious transactions like a dodgy magic trick. Presto-your confirmed payment? Poof. Invalidated.
In Monero’s drama, miners had to pick side A or side B before they could go back to hugging and agreeing on a single story. Sadly, this meant some transactions were “confirmed” and then promptly ghosted, raising those old “Oh no, someone’s got too much power!” vibes about hash power centralization.
⚠️The attack against Monero is back. Hours ago XMR experienced an 18 block reorg
If you accept XMR make sure to wait for more than the usual 10 confs

Enter stage left: Qubic, the blockchain equivalent of the suspicious party guest nobody’s quite sure they invited but who’s somehow dominating the dance floor.
Earlier this year, they were accused of trying a cheeky 51% takeover, which is blockchain speak for “single-handedly crashing the party.” Data from Mining Pool Stats now shows Qubic controlling 2.11 GH/s of Monero’s 6.00 GH/s hashrate buffet. Translation: They’re the biggest fish, or maybe even the shark, swirling around Monero’s mining pond.
Sergey Ivancheglo, Qubic’s ringmaster, decided to stir the pot further with a cryptic tweet (because of course) saying Monero “will stay because Qubic wanted it to stay.” Analysts nodded sagely and whispered, “This is a power move, not a payday.”
Meanwhile, Xenu, our favorite blockchain Sherlock, cites Monero dev Sech1 revealing a 43% orphan rate (a kind of mining whoopsie), as Qubic suffers mining losses thanks to “selfish mining”-a strategy that sounds suspiciously like hoarding goodies instead of sharing.
“The last couple of weeks have shown a waning interest around this attack, but invalidated transactions will jolt the community again. DNS checkpointing, a centralized fix which checkpoints blocks, is being tested vigorously,” he added.
But wait, there’s more! Yu Xiang, co-founder of blockchain security firm SlowMist, dropped the ominous line that Monero might be living under “a Sword of Damocles.” Fancy phrase for “one wrong move and investor trust slices right through.” Even without double-spends landing, this reorg drama is making all the crypto fans clutch their pearls-and their wallets.
