Let‘s say an established pool decided to pay more as they do now.. What will happen for the qubic miners? Exactly the same will happen, the profit miner switching if the profits there would be higher. But this is not related to XMR or anything else Thats a normal profit business stuff. Like if you would own 51% of a company you are the theoretically boss. For rental it‘s the same doesn‘t matter if „defend“ or let‘s call it „attack in stealth mode“ (still laughing about this) rental itself cost money at the start. So let‘s say you build a startup you investing money a long period of time with no payback.. Then you get the first customers and a payback.. but to push your marketing even more you take some -% profits by yourself (as company) but you also burning more money (your own money or some part of the -profit money) % on marketing (rental for example) to let it shine and shine and grow. If a Billionair has a bad day decides to attack any coin he will just do it.. This has nothing to do with XMR / bad chain The problem is many people don‘t see the real numbers and qubic try everything to let their numbers shine as i mentioned before. (delayed difficulty 24h etc. / overall hash rate calculation / stealth mode marketing joke / ddos explanations) It is a big marketing machine for now. Premium petrol 70% cheaper 70% more power (deal ending soon) The deal is good many people will take it but this doesn‘t mean the product is good / better or bad / worse !! (to stay fair) .. But if i say my petrol is 70% better then others and can‘t proof it (or i mixed premium stuff or water in it without price calculation equal to rental cost) the other petrol stations say nice marketing joke.. and the loyal members (miners) which stick for years to the other petrol will just say yeah of course another one.. Let‘s first proof this stuff and Ingredients and check the long term. Mind Games Marketing 70% is trashtalk but perhaps 5% better more efficiently?!
Qubic is very centralized. even if just marketing the market cap and the price went +100% in the past month so this mingling with XMR has been worth it for the coin and as it brings them more miners because it's profitable atm this brings even more hashrate to a single guy that can put any protocol he wants into the miner
today it's xmr tomorrow it might be xelis, can just go around poking every coin.
