They dive into Monero’s ongoing “qubic attack,” where mining pool Qubic controls ~35% of the network’s hash rate and causes chain reorganizations. Dr. K, whose background spans ConsenSys, Grid Plus (creator of the Lattice One wallet), and a National Science Foundation grant for PoW research, proposes a fix: work shares. By sampling multiple proofs per block instead of one, work shares make the network resistant to attacks from miners with less than 51% hash power. Dr. K is already drafting a pull request to add this to Monero’s code.The discussion also explores why Dr. K views proof-of-work as superior to proof-of-stake—emphasizing immutability, permissionlessness, and competitive fairness—and his own project, Quiet Network (QUI), a scalable PoW blockchain with an energy-based token (QI) designed for stable purchasing power. ⏱Timestamps: ‎(00:02:28) Dr. K introduces himself and his background ‎(00:04:44) Dr. K's crypto journey and early experiences (00:14:21) Dr. K's views on privacy in cryptocurrency ‎ (‎00:18:45) Dr. K explains why he's a proof of work maximalist (00:29:03) Discussion of proof of stake vs. proof of work ‎ (00:41:13) Dr. K introduces work shares as a solution to Monero's problems ‎ (‎00:48:09) Technical details of implementing work shares in Monero (01:15:06) Comparison of work shares to other proposed solutions ‎ (‎01:31:22) Introduction to Quiet Network and Qi (‎01:38:49) Closing thoughts on unity in the cryptocurrency community 🔗Links:   Purchase Cafe & tip the farmers w/ XMR! https://gratuitas.org/ Guest➡️: https://x.com/mechanikalk ➡️Join XMRtopia TELEGRAM: https://t.me/monerotopia ➡️ Join XMRtopia MATRIX: https://matrix.to/#/%23monerotopia%3Amonero.social 🚨SPONSORS: Monero.com wallet by Cake Wallet 🍰, the first open-source Monero wallet for iOS.
