We are under attack. Again

I hardly see this as a coordinated attack. it's opportunistic. If you have a huge pile of gold, and people know you have a huge pile of gold, you're going to have people who want that gold, and some of them will go through with trying their damnedest to get it.

Monero is always under attack. Perhaps we need an attack level (green, yellow, orange, red, black) on this forum.

@monerica Monero is under attack because it is relevant and actually used.

@monerica That's a very cool idea

"Perhaps we need an attack level (green, yellow, orange, red, black)"

As long as thing exists, someone will be there trying to exploit thing for money. I don't really consider it to be any sort of attack on monero as a currency...

I don't use social media so I have no idea what you mean by

Looking in twitter every now and then it seems there are new coordinated attacks.

zcash, xelis, qubic, thorchain and retoswap hacks, wagyu drama ... & botted bullshit trying to awake(n) fear in our community

Anyone care to write or find a recap on all this? Idk what xelis or qubic are

As for a 'attack-o-meter', I find it a funny concept. If I were to make one, I'd probably have these be the criterion for different 'attack' levels:
number of known healthy and secure nodes

time per confirmation

estimated daily volume of transactions (individual transactions and also est value, dunno if that's possible with Monero's framework)

days since last monero delisting

days since last monero related 'hack'

number of countries that have banned monero

number of people arrested in connection to monero transactions

I'll leave it up to imagination which data points would be considered positive vs negative lol

A lot of ways to arrive at level: major price swings (5+% in a day), exchange delisting, hack, exit scam, arrest, legal precedent, bug, theft, developer issue, Fed distractor, political issue, DDoS, community site issues. Then score and sum them like fear & greed index but Monero Attack Level.

there should be warning before buying monero of the war you are becoming part of.

Me in december: wow this currency is actually used, private, and has great ethos, it is what bitcoin should be! I'm buying
Me now: Can barely go on twitter reddit or 4chan due to getting drawn into fights by anti-monero psyops everywhere.

Need free therapist with every purchase.

@tuw8 yes, haha

i have the same feeling

@beer
yes there are opportunists
yes, qubic was a real and highly sofisticated attack

first the title was 'xmr community under Pressure', but even if the attack isn't happening coordinated it's happening from multople sides at the same time

doesn't really matter and hard to proof how exactly it was coordinated

note f.e: Qubic founder was founder os IOSIS or smt. which is supported by WEF ... and the Tony Blair foundation that is trying to tokenizen and CBDC Palestine etc.

zcash is literally a VC zionist coin beeing pumped into the sky for no natural reason and their community attacks us actively

They are counter-revolutionary and must be purged
