After asserting temporary majority hashrate on Monero and executing a six-block reorganization, Qubic’s community voted—with over 300 ballots—to target Dogecoin for its next proof-of-work stress test, surpassing Kaspa and Zcash in preference. Kraken paused Monero deposits due to integrity concerns, though withdrawals and trading continued. Experts dispute whether Qubic fully controlled Monero, but the event highlighted risks of censorship and chain reorganizations. Qubic’s founder framed the initiative as redirecting PoW resources toward AI, using mined XMR for QUBIC token buybacks and burns, and continuing a prolonged contest with Monero miners. No timeline for any Dogecoin-related action has been provided.
