More details on Qubic’s “engine warm-up” report include 51% strategy ahead of the showdown with Monero

Qubic released a detailed mining report two days before an attempt to control 51% on the Monero Network was expected to develop revenue, network impact and strategic intent.

Qubic has a 51% plan

In a summary of 171 mining, written by “Retrodrive,” entitled “Engines,” Qubic revealed that he made $180,250 by selling 459 Monero (XMR). Notably, the 65.9 billion Qubic burned at an average of $2,280 per billion, while Monero’s prices fell slightly over the period.

The July 31 report confirmed that Qubic’s peak hash rate hits 2.3 Gigahash (GH/s) per second, claiming it accounts for 45% of Monero’s total network power. Qubic Miners discovered 3,496 Monero blocks in its epoch alone, highlighting its growing control over the network’s Proof of Work (POW) mechanism.

In the section addressing the “takeover” rumours, Qubic said its strategy is not intended to compromise Monero’s privacy or allow for a reversal of the transaction. Instead, we encourage miners to route their activities through the Qubic pool. Network validator Qubic’s “computer” community votes know that once a large portion of Monero Hashrate is secured, block rewards will only be distributed to miners operating via Qubic.

This move could effectively divert all Monero block rewards to Qubic control nodes mined orphan blocks outside of Qubic’s infrastructure. The group argues that this will increase profitability for miners while also using Qubic Miner’s wide distributed network to maintain Monero’s decentralization.

Strategic shifts were also approved. MoneroMining’s profits go directly to Qubic Validators, instead of funding buybacks or token burns. This vote was framed as a way to maximize incentive alignment and hash power accumulation during the planned domination window from August 2 to August 31.

Additional reports claim that Qubic’s pool operator may have entered stealth mode. According to the rumor and Qubic mismatch message, mining addresses have been changed, block footprints have been scrubbed, and pool statistics have not been made public.

Several mining dashboards tracking Monero’s global hashrate have completely stopped displaying pool activity in Qubic, leading to speculation that the operation is completely dark ahead of a 51% chance of testing.
