Cryptocurrency Community Targets Dogecoin in Potential Security Test
The Qubic community is considering Dogecoin as a potential target for a 51% attack test, following a recent breach on the Monero network. A vote among members revealed strong support for Dogecoin, with at least 300 participants backing the move. Founder Sergey Ivancheglo shared a screenshot confirming the consensus.
Dogecoin's technical vulnerabilities, including its relatively low hash power of 2.23 PH/s, made it a preferred choice over alternatives like Kaspa and Zcash. The meme coin's security is partially bolstered by its merged mining system with Litecoin, a partnership in place since 2014. Litecoin's community has publicly endorsed Dogecoin, reinforcing its defensive stance.
Bitcoin's dominance in hash power—964 EH/s—highlights the disparity in network security across cryptocurrencies. The proposed test could expose critical weaknesses or demonstrate Dogecoin's resilience under pressure.
